Bell's AI Fabric initiative is pioneering a secure, sovereign AI compute network across Canada. This ambitious portfolio features seven large-scale, high-density data centers, anchored by a 500 MW B.C. supercluster and a 300 MW flagship site in Regina, Saskatchewan.

As Site Director, you will be the single accountable leader for an entire data centre site, owning end-to-end delivery and readiness—from construction and commissioning through to operational handover. Unlike a construction-only mandate, this role integrates every discipline on the ground (construction, engineering, commissioning, safety, contractors, and operational readiness) into one cohesive site P&L and outcome, ensuring the facility is delivered predictably, safely, and ready to support next-generation AI compute.

• Serve as the single point of accountability for the full site lifecycle—construction, commissioning, and operational readiness—for an assigned AI Fabric data centre.
• Own site-level schedule, budget, and quality outcomes for a multi-hundred-million to multi-billion-dollar capital build, driving predictable, on-time delivery.
• Lead and integrate all on-site functions and partners, including construction, engineering, commissioning, safety, and contractor/EPC teams, into one aligned delivery organization.
• Direct contractor and vendor management, holding GC/EPC partners accountable to scope, cost, quality, safety, and milestone commitments.
• Champion a zero-incident safety culture and ensure full compliance with occupational health & safety, environmental, and jurisdictional regulations.
• Oversee integrated commissioning (Cx) and operational readiness, validating power, cooling, and resiliency systems to ensure a seamless handover to operations.
• Partner cross-functionally with engineering, program controls, procurement & asset management, and operations to align site execution with design standards and capacity plans.
• Manage change governance, risk, and issue resolution at the site level, escalating proactively to Capital Programs and AI Fabric leadership.
• Provide executive-level site reporting on progress, risk, cost, and readiness to senior AI Fabric stakeholders.
• Build, lead, and mentor a high-performing site leadership team as the national program scales.

• 15+ years leading large-scale capital programs, with direct experience owning hyperscale or mission-critical data centre sites (100MW+ / multi-billion-dollar portfolios preferred).
• Proven track record as the senior accountable site leader across the full build-to-operate lifecycle, including construction, commissioning, and operational readiness.
• Strong contractor and commercial governance experience, with credibility to manage GC/EPC partners and hold them to account.
• Deep understanding of data centre systems—power, cooling (including high-density/liquid cooling), redundancy, and resiliency.
• Expertise in commissioning and operational readiness processes, ensuring facilities are handover-ready.
• Command of schedule and cost management tools (e.g., Primavera P6, MS Project) and integrated master scheduling.
• Demonstrated safety leadership and regulatory compliance on active, complex sites.
• Exceptional executive presence and stakeholder management, able to influence senior engineering, contractor, finance, and executive leaders.
• Degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or related discipline; P.Eng., PMP, or equivalent certification an asset.
• Willingness to relocate and/or be on-site full-time, with travel between Canadian build locations as the portfolio scales.

Adequate knowledge of French is required for positions in Quebec.
