Accenture Construct – Senior Vice President - Data Centers, COM Construction Management | Design | Engineering | Information Technology | Project Controls | Full-time

Job No. 1700 | Toronto

You’ve Never Been Satisfied with “Good Enough.”

You didn't get into this to manage one piece of a project. You got into it to change how the world gets built.

At Accenture Construct, that’s the job. You'll help deliver the data centers, power grids, rail networks, factories and public infrastructure that keep communities moving — smarter, safer and more sustainably.

You'll work alongside people who think big and act bold: project managers, engineers, technologists and strategists who pair real-world delivery with AI. And you won't be handed a slice of it. We take on whole programs, from early strategy through construction and handover, and we stand behind how they land.

Because “positive enough” builds the past. You're here to build what's next.

THE WORK As Senior Vice President – Data Centers:

You'll open doors from day one, bringing existing relationships with data centre owners, operators, developers and the partner ecosystem around them, and converting those relationships into a qualified pipeline across [region/market] within your first two quarters.

You'll originate and close work yourself, identifying where clients need help on their capital programmes, leading the pursuit end to end, and signing multi-year advisory and programme management engagements rather than waiting for opportunities to be passed to you.

You'll shape the solution and the commercial model, designing the approach, team structure and pricing that answers the client's problem and stands up commercially for both sides.

You'll build the team behind the win,



attracting senior practitioners into the Canadian market and standing up the delivery capability, locally and with global support, that scales as the pipeline converts.

You'll own delivery of what you sell, staying personally accountable for client outcomes, quality and commercial performance until the market reaches the scale to sustain dedicated delivery leadership.

You'll grow a market, not just an account: within 12 months you'll have a named client portfolio, a repeatable proposition and a team in place, establishing Canada as a scaled part of our global data centre business.

WORKING CONDITIONS

Flexible: The work location for this role will include a mix of working remotely, onsite at a client or in an Accenture office or center.

With all our roles, there is some in-person time for collaboration, learning and building relationships with clients, peers, leaders and communities. As an employer, we will be as flexible as possible to support your specific work/life needs.

HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

Minimum 10 years of experience on large-scale capital projects in the data centre or mission-critical sector, across advisory, cost and commercial management, project or programme management.

Minimum 5 years of experience originating and selling professional services or consulting work,



with a demonstrable record of personally won revenue.

Minimum 5 years of experience accountable for delivery of capital programme engagements, including client outcomes and commercial performance.

Minimum 5 years of experience working directly with data centre owners, operators or developers in the Canadian market.

Minimum 3 years of experience building and leading teams, including hiring senior practitioners.

Fluent in French and English, with the ability to communicate effectively with internal and external stakeholders in both languages.

BONUS POINTS IF YOU HAVE:

Experience working with or inside one or more hyperscale, colocation or major developer organisations.

Professional accreditation such as RICS, PMP, AACE/CCP, or chartered engineer status.

Experience on both owner side and consultant or contractor side of capital programmes.

Experience selling and delivering across multiple countries

Experience in adjacent capital-intensive sectors such as semiconductor fabrication, power and grid, or advanced manufacturing.

What's in it for you

The biggest builds going. Hyperscale data centers, grid and generation, transit and rail, chip fabs, mines, water. If it's complex and it matters, it's on our list.

You own the outcome. Not a workstream. Not a deliverable. Whether the program lands.

AI that shows up on site. Program control that predicts instead of records. You'll use it, and you'll help shape it.

Scale without the distance. More than 5,000 practitioners across the Americas, EMEA and APAC, on a team small enough that people know your name.

Serious investment in you. Leadership development, technical upskilling and certification support.
