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.

- Experience supporting commissioning, testing, and turnover of data center infrastructure
- Previous experience working as an Owner’s Representative or client-side Project Manager
