About the job

As a Data Center Mechanical Engineer, you will serve as the primary on-site authority for large-scale thermal management, ensuring that complex cooling infrastructures essential for high-availability environments are installed, integrated, and optimized according to design intent. Acting as the lead technical point of contact for mechanical and HVAC-related engineering questions during construction, you will bridge the gap between high-level thermal designs and physical site execution to ensure maximum system reliability and efficiency.

Responsibilities
  • Act as the definitive technical resource for mechanical contractors and Engineer-on-Record (EORs), supporting mechanical system design and assisting to resolve ambiguities in mechanical systems to maintain construction momentum.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams for the resolution of complex issues, design intent, and changes to the design during the construction process.
  • Lead the field-side Request for Information (RFI) process, identifying potential spatial or mechanical conflicts and providing immediate engineering solutions to avoid rework.
  • Perform periodic, site walk-throughs to verify that mechanical installations align with engineered specifications, focusing on pressure testing, weld inspection requirements, insulation integrity, and equipment placement.
  • Ensure that evaporative and non-evaporative thermal systems are installed to meet project-specific standards, local building codes, ASME standards, and environmental regulations.
