Principal Advisor Data Center Facilities

Qualifications and Requirements

If your experience doesn't match every preferred qualification below but you know this work, we encourage you to apply.

Required

• Significant experience (typically 12+ years) in data center / mission-critical facilities, including direct accountability for major phases of new-build data center projects (design review, construction oversight, or commissioning). Data center-specific experience is required; general commercial construction alone does not qualify.
• Deep expertise in at least one core facilities discipline - electrical/power, mechanical/cooling, or construction/commissioning - with working fluency across power, cooling, floor planning, fire suppression, and construction.
• Experience advising senior stakeholders in a consulting, advisory, owner's-representative, or owner-side leadership capacity.
• Experience qualifying and overseeing trade partners (GCs, MEP subcontractors, commissioning agents).
• Working knowledge of high-density AI/HPC facility requirements, including liquid cooling and high-density power distribution.
• Bachelor's degree in engineering or a related field, or equivalent professional, military, or trade experience.

Preferred

• Electrical/power as the deep discipline.
• Recent direct experience on liquid-cooled, high-density (60kW+ rack) designs.
• Experience across multiple international code jurisdictions and standards.
• Demonstrated success standing up a team, practice, program, or office.
• Credentials such as PE license, Uptime Institute ATD/ATS, DCEP, CDCDP, or ASHRAE participation.
• Familiarity with commissioning levels (L1-L5) and construction-lifecycle quality assurance.

Leadership & Interpersonal

• Executive presence with the ability to engage, influence, and build lasting relationships at the senior-most client levels.
• Excellent written and verbal communication; able to synthesize complex facility trade-offs into clear executive narratives.
• Collaborative working style across engineering, sales, and delivery teams.

Travel: Up to 30%, including international.

Differentiating Competencies

Candidates who thrive in this role typically demonstrate the following beyond baseline qualifications:

• Bilingual Builders - Fluent in both construction documents and compute architectures; equally credible on an active construction site and in a boardroom.
• Founding Contributors - Energized by blank-canvas mandates; build methodology, pipeline, and team simultaneously.
• Risk Spotters - Can walk a site or a one-line diagram and identify what's wrong before it becomes a change order.
• Accountability Anchors - Hold trade partners, OEMs, and themselves to commitments; clients remember them as the person who caught it.
• Ecosystem Connectors - Bring working relationships across OEMs, A&E firms, GCs, and commissioning agents.
• Global Collaborators - Effective across regions, codes, and cultures.

Certain states and localities require employers to post a reasonable estimate of salary range.

Actual salary will be based on a variety of factors, including shift, location, experience, skill set, performance, licensure and certification, and business needs. The range for this position in other geographic locations may differ. Certain positions may also be eligible for variable incentive compensation, such as bonuses or commissions, that is not included in the base pay.
