In his new role, Kautz will lead PCL's Mission Critical Center of Excellence team, which has successfully delivered over 120 data center and mission critical projects. These projects include complex retrofits, large-scale new builds (including Tier IV fault-tolerant projects), and critical environment upgrades.

"I'm honored to lead PCL's data center efforts at such a pivotal moment," said Kautz. "We've built a strong foundation with our mission critical team, and I'm looking forward to driving continued innovation for clients navigating the next wave of digital infrastructure demands."

Kautz will continue to support the Northwest community while leading PCL's national data center strategy from Seattle. As he takes on this new role, Andrew Fernandez has been promoted to district manager of PCL's Seattle office. Fernandez will be responsible for leading projects that are transforming the Northwest's skyline and infrastructure.

With Kautz at the helm, PCL is well-positioned to meet the growing demand for digital infrastructure and solidify its position as the builder of choice in high-tech, fast-growing markets.
