About this role
Key Responsibilities
- --- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to design, develop, and implement mechanical systems for newbuild data centres, adhering to industry standards (e.g., ASHRAE, NFPA, local codes) and best practices. --- Prepare and review mechanical engineering specifications, technical drawings, and construction documents, including HVAC system designs, piping layouts, and equipment schedules. --- Evaluate and select mechanical equipment (e.g., chillers, cooling towers, CRAC/CRAH units, pumps, AHUs) based on reliability, efficiency, redundancy, and lifecycle cost. --- Conduct feasibility studies, energy modeling, and lifecycle cost analyses to optimize system performance and support sustainability goals. --- Perform detailed HVAC load calculations, airflow simulations, and thermal analysis to ensure adequate cooling capacity and airflow management. --- Provide technical oversight during construction: review contractor submittals, respond to RFIs, attend coordination meetings, and conduct site inspections to verify compliance with design intent and mechanical codes. --- Support commissioning activities—including functional performance testing, TAB (Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing), and issue resolution—to validate system readiness and performance. --- Advise on plumbing, fire protection (sprinkler/deluge), and domestic water systems as integrated components of data centre infrastructure. --- Stay current with emerging technologies (e.g., liquid cooling, thermal storage, AI-driven controls) and apply innovations to improve resilience and efficiency.
