Project Manager

Location:
Edmonton area, Alberta | Fully on-site, five days a week
Industry:
Hyperscale Data Centers | AI and Digital Infrastructure
Employment:
Full-Time or Contract | Project Manager, multiple positions
The OpportunityWe are partnering with an early-stage data center developer building hyperscale campuses across North America. Its Edmonton-region campus is under construction on a fast schedule to be ready for service in late 2027, and the site team is hiring several project managers.
These are field roles. The site leadership is hiring builders: project managers who walk the work every day and sort out problems on the spot with their contractors.
You own a data hall, a discipline or a defined package and carry it through installation, commissioning and turnover.
What You'll Own
Run your scope from the field every day with the general contractor: schedule, cost, quality, and safety.
Manage the contractors and trades on your package. Hold them to their commitments, challenge look-aheads and change requests, and work site issues through as they come up.
Own the schedule, risks, and deliverables for your hall or package, and address problems before they reach a milestone.
Handle budgets, contracts, purchase orders, payment applications and change management as part of the job.
Coordinate owner-furnished equipment deliveries against the installation sequence and keep your scope aligned with the neighbouring packages.
Step in on other workstreams when priorities shift across the site.
Support commissioning and turnover as each hall approaches ready-for-service.
What You Bring
Direct, hands-on experience delivering mission-critical or data center construction.
A record of running construction scopes in the field: managing contractors, driving the schedule, and resolving site issues yourself.
Ownership of your scope and the judgment to solve problems independently, without constant direction.
Fluency in budgets, schedules, contracts, purchase orders, payment applications, and change management.
Full-time presence on site in the Edmonton area, five days a week with no hybrid arrangement, and availability for weekend work and extra hours when the build calls for it.
Who Gets Our AttentionA technical background in mechanical, electrical, plumbing, civil, architectural or structural work. Civil work on site is winding down, so experience in electrical and mechanical installation, building fit-out, commissioning and turnover lines up best with the phases ahead.
Experience on both sides of the industry stands out, with contractor-side years followed by owner or consultancy work. Canadian delivery experience counts, particularly winter construction.
The PersonYou are a builder first. You take accountability for your scope and work through problems without waiting to be told how. You bring energy and a can-do attitude to a demanding site, and when another workstream needs a hand, you pitch in.
You know what you are signing up for: a large, fast-moving build with an aggressive delivery date, where weekends and longer days are part of getting it finished.
Why This One?You join a hyperscale campus build while the site team is still forming, with a full data hall or major package matched to what you can deliver.
You work on the owner side for a developer with a pipeline of campuses across North America, which is where the next assignments come from.
