About the RoleWe are seeking a
Civil Engineer to lead civil engineering strategy across Industrial Compute's self-build data center portfolio. This role will own the technical direction for site development and structural engineering while partnering closely with external engineering consultants, construction partners, and internal infrastructure teams to continuously improve how our campuses are designed and built.
Rather than simply reviewing consultant deliverables, you will drive engineering optimization across site grading, foundations, structural systems, utility coordination, and constructability. You will challenge traditional design assumptions, identify opportunities to reduce schedule and cost, and help establish standardized, modular engineering approaches that accelerate future deployments.
Working closely with Mechanical, Electrical, Power, Cooling, and Infrastructure Delivery teams, you will ensure civil infrastructure supports the demanding requirements of next-generation AI compute while enabling Industrial Compute to scale globally.
Key Responsibilities- Lead civil engineering strategy across Industrial Compute's self-build infrastructure portfolio.
- Partner with engineering consultants and EPC firms to develop civil and structural designs for hyperscale AI campuses.
- Drive continuous improvement of site design standards to reduce construction schedule, cost, and execution risk.
- Optimize grading, earthwork, drainage, foundations, utility routing, and constructability across multiple campuses.
- Develop structural standards supporting high floor loading, vibration control, durability, and long-term serviceability for AI infrastructure.
- Establish modular and prefabricated civil engineering approaches that improve repeatability and deployment speed.
- Coordinate closely with Mechanical, Electrical, Power Generation, Cooling, and Infrastructure Delivery teams throughout design and construction.
- Review engineering calculations, drawings, specifications, and consultant deliverables for technical quality and consistency.
- Support geotechnical investigations, constructability reviews, value engineering, and design optimization initiatives.
- Evaluate emerging construction methodologies and engineering technologies that improve speed, scalability, and reliability.
- Support engineering throughout construction, commissioning, and operational handoff.
- Help establish global civil engineering standards for future Industrial Compute campuses.
Qualifications- Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
- 8+ years of experience designing large-scale industrial, mission-critical, manufacturing, energy, or data center facilities.
- Strong understanding of site development, grading, drainage, foundations, structural systems, utility coordination, and constructability.
- Experience coordinating multidisciplinary engineering teams through design and construction.
- Experience reviewing engineering calculations, drawings, and consultant deliverables.
- Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
Preferred Skills- Professional Engineer (PE) license.
- Experience designing hyperscale data centers or mission-critical infrastructure.
- Experience with modular construction or prefabricated infrastructure systems.
- Familiarity with geotechnical engineering and heavy equ
