PCL adds U.S. data center leaders amid market growth

PCL Construction has expanded the leadership team for its U.S. digital infrastructure operations as demand for data center capacity continues to climb.

The company said July 14, 2026, that Carl Haas has been named district manager and Peter Losh will serve as operations manager, with oversight of PCL’s active data center construction portfolio. Tyler Kautz was also promoted to regional vice president, digital infrastructure.

The appointments come as PCL points to rising demand across the sector. According to the company, nearly 100 gigawatts of computing capacity are expected to come online over the next five years, roughly doubling the world’s existing data center infrastructure. At the same time, the industry faces growing limits tied to water and energy access.

PCL said its delivery model brings together data center expertise with industrial, buildings, and civil infrastructure capabilities under one team, with work spanning from site preparation through commissioning. The company said that approach is intended to address the complex logistics, accelerated schedules, phased sequencing, and quality demands of high-density, compute-intensive facilities.

"I’m excited for the opportunity to lead this team bringing all three services together as one integrated solution for our clients", said Haas. "In my 18 years with PCL, I’ve been fortunate to have worked on complex projects across our civil and buildings sectors and to have spent the last several years in the data center market working shoulder to shoulder with our industrial teams. I’ve seen how when these disciplines operate as one group, the client experiences the full value that PCL offers."

Kautz described digital infrastructure as a long-term foundation for global connectivity and said the work presents major construction challenges.

"Building data centers at speed and scale is one of the most complex challenges in construction today", said Kautz. "In partnership with our clients, we’re committed to constructing this critical infrastructure in ways that strengthen the communities where these facilities are built."

Over the past two decades, PCL said it has delivered more than 120 data center and mission-critical projects across North America for some of the sector’s recognized operators. The company said it is expanding its workforce with specialized talent to support the delivery of complex, high-performance facilities across North America.
