Project Manager - Data Center Construction

Insight Global is seeking a Senior Project Manager – Data Center Construction to support a major data center infrastructure retrofit project in Pointe-Claire, Montreal.

This individual will support the delivery of a retrofit project within an existing data center environment. The project will include the installation of approximately 20 Cooling Distribution Units (CDUs) along with associated piping, controls, BMS, EPMS, and electrical/power infrastructure.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on Project Manager with approximately 3–5+ years of relevant experience who understands how data centers operate and has strong practical knowledge of MEP infrastructure. Rather than requiring someone with decades of large-scale construction experience, this position is best suited for a PM who has directly supported data center projects and can effectively coordinate mechanical, electrical, controls, and construction workstreams.

This is a 100% on-site position in Pointe-Claire, Montreal and requires bilingual English/French communication skills.

Responsibilities / Day-to-Day

• Coordinate contractors and MEP teams across mechanical, piping, electrical, controls, BMS, and EPMS work
• Oversee the installation of approximately 20 Cooling Distribution Units (CDUs) and supporting infrastructure
• Track project schedules, milestones, budgets, risks, and outstanding issues
• Ensure contractors and vendors are meeting project timelines, quality standards, and deliverables
• Coordinate between construction, engineering, vendors, and commissioning teams to keep the project moving
• Identify issues or delays early and drive them through resolution
• Provide regular project updates on schedule, cost, risk, and overall progress

REQUIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• 3–5+ years of Project Management experience within data center construction, retrofit, or critical infrastructure projects
• Data center experience is required with an understanding of how data center construction and infrastructure operate

• Experience coordinating contractors, trades, vendors, and engineering teams on construction projects
• Experience managing project schedules, budgets, risks, and deliverables
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
• Bilingual in French and English
• Able to work 100% on-site in Pointe-Claire, Montreal

NICE TO HAVE SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• Experience with data center retrofit or upgrade projects rather than only new builds
• Experience with CDUs, liquid cooling, piping, BMS, EPMS, or data center power systems
• Experience supporting commissioning, testing, and turnover of data center infrastructure
• Previous experience working as an Owner’s Representative or client-side Project Manager
• Experience within hyperscale or mission-critical data center environments
• PMP, engineering, construction management, or related technical education/certification
