Data Center Technical Advisor

EHC is looking for a Data Center Owner’s Representative / Technical Advisor

Location Schulenburg, TX (onsite)

Engagement Type

• Contract or fractional (6–12 months initial term)
• Extension or success-based bonus tied to lease execution optional

Role Summary:

We are developing a scalable, power-dense data center campus in Schulenburg, Texas with municipal support, long-haul fiber diversity, and an expandable power roadmap. We are seeking a Data Center Owner’s Representative /Technical Advisor to act as the technical authority on behalf of ownership-translating concept into tenant- and investor-grade reality.

This role is not a marketing or feasibility-study position. The successful candidate will have direct experience taking data center projects from early concept through power coordination, tenant diligence, and leasing or delivery.

Key Responsibilities

Technical & Development Leadership

• Act as owner’s technical representative across power, cooling, network, and site design
• Define and validate phased MW delivery plans (Phase 1 through ultimate buildout)
• Develop tenant-grade technical narratives for:
  - power interconnection and expansion o cooling concepts (air / liquid-ready / hybrid)
  - network & fiber redundancy
• Ensure designs and assumptions are underwrite-able by tenants and brokers

Power & Utility Coordination

• Support engagement with regional utility (LCRA) and local stakeholders
• Help structure interconnection strategy, timelines, and expansion logic
• Translate utility requirements into clear owner and tenant deliverables

Leasing & Diligence Support

• Prepare and review technical diligence materials used by:
  - data center brokers o tenant infrastructure teams
  - potential capital partners
• Participate in tenant diligence calls and help resolve technical objections
• Advise on LOI and lease technical exhibits (demarcation, responsibilities, specs)

Owner Advocacy

• Protect owner interests by avoiding premature over-engineering
• Provide honest readiness assessments (“what’s lease-ready vs what isn’t”)
• Coordinate selectively with engineers, utilities, and contractors without creating unnecessary scope creep

Required Experience

• 10+ years in data center development, engineering, or infrastructure delivery
• Direct experience with hyperscale, wholesale, or large enterprise data centers
• Demonstrated involvement in:
  - power planning and interconnection strategy
  - MW-scale campus or phased data center projects
  - tenant or investor technical diligence
• Comfortable operating in early-stage environments with incomplete information
• Able to produce clear, defensible technical narratives — not just drawings

Preferred Background

• Former owner’s rep, development lead, or senior engineer at:
  - hyperscale cloud provider o colocation / wholesale data center developer
  - infrastructure advisory firm
• Experience working with Texas utilities strongly preferred
• Prior success helping projects reach pre-lease or lease execution
