Summary

Bell's AI Fabric initiative is pioneering a secure, sovereign AI compute network across Canada. This transformative portfolio includes seven large-scale, high-density data centres, anchored by a 500 MW British Columbia supercluster and a future 1.2GW flagship site in Regina, Saskatchewan.

As MEP / Module Director, you will lead the delivery of the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems that power and cool these facilities, alongside the modular and off-site manufacturing strategy that accelerates their build. You'll be the senior technical delivery authority ensuring MEP scope is designed, procured, fabricated, installed, and commissioned to mission-critical standards - driving the modular/prefabrication approach that de-risks schedule and improves quality across a rapidly scaling national program.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end delivery of all MEP systems (power distribution, UPS, generators, chilled water, high-density/liquid cooling, controls) across assigned data centre builds.
• Own the modular and off-site manufacturing strategy, driving prefabrication, skidded systems, and modular delivery to compress schedule and improve quality.
• Manage MEP contractors, module vendors, and fabrication partners, holding them accountable to scope, quality, cost, safety, and milestone commitments.
• Own MEP schedule, budget, and quality outcomes, integrating field and off-site fabrication timelines into the master construction sequence.
• Ensure MEP design intent is executed to mission-critical standards, partnering on LOD design classification and detailed engineering handoffs from A/E to GC.
• Lead MEP commissioning (Cx), validating power, cooling, and resiliency systems through factory acceptance (FAT), site acceptance (SAT), and integrated systems testing.
• Champion a zero-incident safety culture across MEP and modular installation activities, ensuring full regulatory and environmental compliance.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, program controls, procurement & asset management, and site construction to align MEP delivery with capacity plans and standards.
• Drive change governance, risk management, and issue resolution across MEP scope, escalating proactively to Capital Programs leadership.
• Build, mentor, and scale a high-performing MEP/modular delivery team as the national program grows.

Critical Qualifications

• 12+ years leading MEP delivery on large-scale construction programs, with direct experience in hyperscale or mission-critical data centres (100MW+ preferred).
• Proven track record delivering modular / off-site manufactured MEP systems (prefabrication, skids, modular electrical/mechanical rooms).
• Deep technical expertise in data centre M&E systems - power distribution, UPS, generators, switchgear, chilled water, and high-density/liquid cooling.
• Strong understanding of commissioning processes, including FAT/SAT, LOD design classification, and integrated systems testing.
• Experience managing specialized MEP contractors, module fabricators, and vendor supply chains.
• Command of schedule and cost management tools (e.g., Primavera P6, MS Project) integrating off-site and on-site sequencing.
• Demonstrated safety leadership on active, complex MEP installation sites.
• Ability to lead multidisciplinary technical teams and influence senior engineering, contractor, and executive stakeholders.
• Degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or related Engineering discipline; P.Eng., PMP, or commissioning certification (e.g., ACG/CxA) an asset.
• Willingness to be on-site and travel between Canadian build locations and fabrication facilities as the portfolio scales.

Adequate knowledge of French is required for positions in Quebec.
