Job Title : IT Infrastructure Facilities Engineer
Location: Frisco, TX
Contract
Responsibilities:
Perform/validate IT heat-load calculations for MDF/IDF spaces using deployed hardware power draw (kW) and convert to BTU/hr. Ensure cooling is sized for current load + growth margin.
Validate mechanical design assumptions including airflow, temperature differential, humidity control, and equipment placement to prevent hotspots.
Coordinate with Facilities/mechanical vendors to ensure HVAC is installed, commissioned, and verified prior to rack & stack; document test results and readiness sign-off.
Establish/verify environmental targets aligned with ASHRAE guidance for IT spaces (temperature/humidity operating range) and confirm monitoring points/sensor placement.
Qualifications:
- Experience and ability to manage a technology construction project from concept through completion.
- Familiarity with IT industry teams. Such as but not limited to: Infrastructure Compute, Infrastructure network, IT-OT, storage, TCP/IP, and most common IT terminology.
