Job Summary
The role will take technical ownership of mechanical engineering requirements particularly HVAC cooling fire protection and related mechanical systems ensuring that designs are reliable energy-efficient scalable and compliant with applicable standards.
The successful candidate will work closely with electrical structural ICT project management consultants and contractors to ensure that all engineering disciplines are properly integrated throughout the design and project execution phases.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead the mechanical design and engineering of data centers and other mission-critical facilities covering HVAC cooling systems fire protection and other mechanical systems.
- Develop mechanical solutions that are reliable energy-efficient scalable and suitable for 24/7 mission-critical operations.
- Perform and/or review engineering calculations including:
- Thermal and cooling load calculations
- Airflow calculations
- Equipment sizing
- Pump head calculations
- Chilled water and cooling system calculations
- Other mechanical system sizing and design calculations
- Prepare review and validate mechanical engineering designs drawings specifications calculations and technical documents.
- Coordinate mechanical systems with electrical structural ICT architectural and other engineering disciplines to ensure proper system integration.
- Work closely with the Data Center Design and Engineering teams to identify and resolve technical design issues.
- Provide technical leadership and recommendations on mechanical design approaches equipment selection system configuration and engineering standards.
- Review designs and technical submissions from external consultants contractors and suppliers to ensure compliance with project requirements and engineering standards.
- Support the Project Management team during construction and implementation by providing technical guidance and resolving mechanical engineering issues.
- Participate in testing commissioning and acceptance of mechanical systems to verify that equipment and systems perform according to design requirements.
- Investigate mechanical system issues and provide technical recommendations for troubleshooting and resolution.
- Support the optimization of mechanical systems during the operational phase with focus on reliability energy efficiency capacity and overall system performance.
- Identify opportunities to improve system efficiency maintainability redundancy and long-term operational performance.
- Ensure that mechanical designs and installations comply with applicable local codes international standards safety requirements and project specifications.
- Maintain awareness of developments and best practices in data center cooling HVAC mission-critical infrastructure energy efficiency and sustainable design.
- Escalate major technical issues through the appropriate engineering and management channels.
- Perform other engineering and project-related responsibilities as assigned.
Qualifications:
- Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
- 35 years of relevant mechanical engineering experience preferably gained from consulting engineering design construction or mission-critical facilities projects.
- Experience in data center mission-critical facility telecommunications facility Cable Landing Station (CLS) or similarly complex infrastructure projects is highly preferred.
- Strong experience in the design and engineering of HVAC cooling fire protection and other mechanical systems.
- Solid understanding of mechanical engineering calculations including thermal loads airflow equipment sizing pump head cooling capacity and related system calculations.
