We’re looking for an experienced Data Center Mechanical Engineer to design, build, and optimize mission-critical infrastructure. This role blends technical depth, hands-on fieldwork, and cross-functional collaboration to deliver both retrofit and greenfield data center projects.
You’ll serve as a mechanical subject matter expert…guiding designs, reviewing contractor work, overseeing system commissioning, and ensuring the highest standards of performance, efficiency, and safety.
Must-Have Skills
- 5+ years in mission-critical facility design and construction, with expertise in mechanical infrastructure.
- Hands-on experience with MEP systems and construction safety procedures.
- Experience designing, constructing, or commissioning at least one of:
- Chilled water cooling systems
- Air handling systems
- Fire suppression systems
- Plumbing systems
- Underground dry/wet utilities
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Industrial Engineering (or equivalent practical experience).
Nice-to-Have Skills- Background in military, semiconductor, or power plant engineering projects.
- Professional Engineering license or Master’s degree.
- Experience with mechanical cooling plants, modular assemblies, and mechanical design for production-scale builds.
- Strong communication skills and eagerness to learn—open to junior candidates (2–3 years) with the right drive and aptitude.
Day to Day Responsibilities- Lead and participate in mechanical design reviews at key project milestones (30/60/90/IFC) for chilled water plants, CRAC/CRAH units, HVAC systems, plumbing, fire suppression, and fuel oil systems.
- Oversee on-site installation, QA/QC inspections, and commissioning (L1–L5) of mission-critical systems.
- Collaborate with electrical, structural, and controls teams to ensure seamless MEP integration.
- Review and approve RFIs, submittals, and change orders; ensure alignment with codes (ASHRAE, NFPA, IBC) and best practices.
- Troubleshoot and validate mechanical systems, ensuring operational readiness and reliability.
- Drive innovation in cooling technologies, system redundancy (N+1, 2N), and energy efficiency strategies.
