If you say XREF to someone and they dont know what it is probably not the right person Key to have the right mindset with concepts in IT and building world but willing to train on a lot but the higher the knowledge of power cooling how to design a cable plan etc the better The team focuses on when offices are altered designing the IT room for that space for new hq they treat them like tiny data centers and also reaching out to other teams (print team desktop team all hardware ish teams) to see what needs to be in that office calculating what needs to fit in the room for space power and cooling and also consult and design cable plan out of that room to the office floor itself. Looking for tech background who understands networking and data center someone who understands power and cooling and builds Need to be able to read and interpret design documents At least 3 years data center design exp

Certs: CDCDP CDCMP both are good but not a dealbreakerexperience wins over certifications IV process: 2 rounds one virtual one in person (either at pratt or OM) Comm is important collaborative team and needs to be able to work with construction teams as well
