Led by a $13-billion, 1-gigawatt campus announced for Sturgeon County in Alberta's Industrial Heartland, more builds are following across Canada. A single project at this scale calls for roughly 3,000 construction workers at peak, hundreds of permanent operators and an entire supply chain of engineering, mechanical and services firms around it.
Uptime is won or lost on people - the Uptime Institute’s outage research points to people, not equipment, as the leading cause of downtime. Every hire on a mission-critical site carries that standard, from first shovel to steady-state operations.
W|E recruit to that standard.

A more thoughtful way to build data centers.
Modern data centers are now needing to be developed with greater consideration for the communities and environments around them. By integrating dedicated power solutions, responsible water management, noise mitigation, environmental safeguards and local workforce opportunities from the outset, these projects can reduce pressure on public infrastructure while supporting more sustainable, community-conscious growth.
Every role on these projects has to be filled by someone who understands critical environments.
That is the work W|E do.
Canada is built for this.
Cooler climates that data centers are engineered for.
Deep pools of trades and engineering talent - and people genuinely willing to go where the opportunity is. A build of this scale reaches far beyond the site itself.
The employers who secure talent first will WIN the next five years.
Data centers are different. So are W|E.
For over a decade, our team has supported clients building ambitious design and infrastructure projects. We are proud to have successfully identified and placed critical talent for mission-critical sites across North America - from design and commissioning through 24/7 operations.
Data Center Engineering
Electrical, mechanical, civil, and facilities engineers fluent in N+1 and 2N redundancy, concurrent maintainability, and commissioning - the specialized talent that designs and delivers mission-critical infrastructure.
Project Managers
Delivery-focused project managers for mission-critical builds - owning scope packages from MEP coordination through commissioning: schedule, cost, quality, safety, and the trade coordination that keeps hyperscale programs on track in a sector where speed to market is everything.
HVAC + Cooling Systems
Cooling is the heart of every data center. We place HVAC engineers, refrigeration technicians, and building-automation specialists who know closed-loop, liquid-cooled, and cold-climate systems - including the direct-to-chip cooling that AI-density racks demand.
Operations + Facilities
Once live, a campus runs 24/7. Critical facilities technicians, chief engineers, data center technicians, security, and administration - the critical-environment shift coverage and procedure discipline that keep mission-critical sites online from day one.
