Full Job Description
The Data Center Design Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on
  • Lead the design, development, and execution of 10s to 100s of GWs of data centers this decade.
  • Drive the next generation of liquid cooling and electrical distribution systems.
  • Develop and scale first-of-a-kind modular data centers.
  • Influence behind-the-meter designs and planning for multi-GW campuses.
Role Scope
  • Produce civil drawing sets for data center site development: grading, drainage, erosion control, utilities, and site plans, from engineer redlines to issued-for-construction.
  • Turn drawing revisions around inside a day during permitting and construction, when a submittal date or an open RFI is waiting on the sheet.
  • Build and maintain the civil CAD standards (templates, layers, detail library) so every site's drawing set is consistent and the next project starts ahead.
  • Coordinate civil sheets against structural and architectural models to catch clashes on paper before they cost time in the field.
  • Prepare permit exhibits, plats, and agency-requested revisions that keep submittals moving without pulling engineers off design work.
What We're Looking For
  • The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
  • You've drafted civil construction documents in Civil 3D or AutoCAD that were issued for construction and built from.
  • You've built surfaces, grading, corridors, and pipe networks in Civil 3D yourself, from survey data to finished sheets.
  • You've turned engineer redlines into finished sheets on same-day deadlines and kept the set consistent while doing it.
  • You keep drawing sets internally airtight: callouts resolve, matchlines align, and every referenced detail exists.
  • You've worked deadlines where a missed submittal slips a permit, and the sheet was ready.
  • You've set up or maintained CAD standards that other drafters followed.
  • Bonus: Data center, industrial, or utility-scale solar site work. Revit or Navisworks coordination. Survey data processing. Permit exhibit and plat preparation. Erosion control and SWPPP drawing experience.


We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
