Job description

Job Description: Senior Manager Civil (Segnol Data Centers))

Role Objective

The Senior Manager MEP will lead the end-to-end design validation, engineering integration, and execution of all MEP systems for hyperscale, AI-ready data center projects. The role is responsible for ensuring that electrical, mechanical, ELV/ICT, and fire & life safety systems are technically robust, Tier III/IV compliant, energy-efficient, and fully integrated with civil and structural works.

This position acts as a technical authority and execution leader, bridging the gap between design consultant deliverables and on-site implementation, ensuring seamless transition from Basis of Design (BoD) through IFC, construction, commissioning, and handover.

The objective is to deliver high-reliability, fault-tolerant infrastructure that meets performance targets (PUE/WUE), cost efficiency, quality standards, and aggressive project timelines, while enabling scalable and future-ready data center operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end MEP delivery (Electrical, Mechanical, ELV, ICT, Fire & Life Safety) for hyperscale data center projects, ensuring alignment with design intent, cost, quality, and timelines.
• Perform design validation and technical governance of BoD, DBRs, and multidisciplinary MEP design packages across all stages (30% / 60% / 90% / IFC).
• Review and validate GFC drawings for constructability, accuracy, redundancy compliance, and coordination with civil/structural systems.
• Validate and ensure robustness of:
  • Electrical systems (EHV/HT/LT, GIS substations, transformers, UPS, DG, redundancy 2N/N+1 architectures)
  • Mechanical systems (hybrid cooling Direct-to-Chip liquid cooling, CRAH/CRAC, chilled water systems, heat rejection systems)
  • ELV/ICT systems (DCIM, BMS/IBMS, structured backbone cabling, security systems)
  • Fire & life safety systems (VESDA, gas suppression, fire zoning)
• Ensure compliance with Tier III/IV standards, TIA-942, NFPA, ASHRAE/ISHRAE, IEC, NBC, LEED/IGBC requirements.
• Drive peer reviews and value engineering for energy efficiency (PUE/WUE), lifecycle optimization, and cost reduction.
• Support preconstruction phases (Stage 1 & Stage 2) including:
  • Electrical and mechanical system architecture freeze
  • Load calculations, redundancy philosophy, and capacity planning
  • CFD analysis validation and energy modelling
• Define system configurations, equipment sizing, and interface requirements for Long Lead Equipment (LLE).
• Contribute to technical specifications, BOQs, tender packaging strategy, and RFP documentation.
• Lead site execution of all MEP systems, ensuring:
  • Installation as per approved IFC/GFC drawings
  • Compliance with technical specifications and redundancy requirements
• Manage MEP contractors, vendors, OEMs, and PMC teams.
• Establish execution sequencing, workfront planning, and site readiness for MEP installations.
• Drive progress tracking, MIS reporting, and milestone achievement.
• Ensure multidisciplinary coordination across MEP, civil, architectural systems, including internal stakeholders of Segnol operation team
• Lead BIM coordination (LOD 300400) ensuring 95% clash-free design prior to execution.
• Resolve interface issues between high side (LLE) and low side distribution systems.
• Conduct coordination workshops with design consultants, OEMs, and contractors.
• Establish and enforce QA/QC systems, SOPs, method statements, and inspection plans for MEP works.
• Conduct technical audits, inspections, and testing validations.
• Drive EHS implementation including safety procedures, HIRA, and contractor compliance.
• Ensure adherence to statutory approvals and regulatory standards.
• Monitor and control MEP project budgets, including major equipment and distribution systems.
• Track cost variations, change orders, and procurement alignment.
• Support techno-commercial evaluations of MEP systems and vendors, including lifecycle cost analysis.
• Ensure alignment with project cash flow and cost targets.
• Identify design and execution risks, including system redundancy failures and integration gaps.
• Lead value engineering initiatives focusing on:
  • Energy efficiency (PUE optimization)
  • Water efficiency (WUE optimization)
  • System reliability and maintainability
• Lead commissioning and testing activities, including:
  • Level 15 commissioning
  • Integrated Systems Testing (IST)
  • Performance validation of electrical and cooling systems
  • Witness FAT- factory acceptance Tests for LLE like DG, chillers, UPS load Performance teats.
• Ensure readiness for handover, as-built validation, and DLP support.

Key Deliverables

• Validated BoD, DBRs, and IFC/GFC packages for all MEP systems.
• Electrical SLDs, mechanical schematics, and coordinated system layouts.
• Load calculations, redundancy validation reports, CFD and energy modelling outputs.
• MEP execution schedules (MSP/Primavera) integrated with civil works.
• Technical specifications, BOQs, and tender documentation for MEP packages.
• Contractor performance reports, progress MIS, and quality audit reports.
• Clash-free BIM models (LOD 300400) with 95% coordination compliance.
• MEP SOPs, QA/QC documentation, method statements, and safety compliance systems.
• Commissioning reports, IST documentation, and performance validation reports.
• As-built drawings, O&M documentation, and handover packages.
