About the Role

We are seeking an experienced CSA Lead / CSA Engineer to oversee all Civil, Structural, and Architectural works during the construction and commissioning stages of a major data center project.

This is a construction-focused role (no design scope) with significant coordination responsibilities across contractors, consultants, and internal teams.

Key Responsibilities

1. Construction Oversight

• Manage and supervise all Civil, Structural & Architectural construction activities on site.
• Monitor progress, quality, and safety across foundations, substructure, superstructure, building envelope, internal architecture, and external works.
• Ensure installation of CSA components complies with IFC drawings, specifications, method statements, and QA/QC processes.

2. Coordination & Interface Management

• Coordinate closely with MEP, ELV, and Commissioning teams to ensure smooth interface and sequencing of works.
• Lead daily and weekly coordination meetings with EPC/GC, subcontractors, and consultants.
• Resolve site issues promptly and ensure alignment across disciplines.

3. Technical & Quality Assurance

• Review shop drawings, method statements, material submissions, and technical queries (RFI) from a CSA perspective.
• Conduct inspections, surveillance, and punch-list walkdowns for structural, architectural, and civil works.
• Ensure compliance with local building codes, authority requirements, and client standards.

4. Schedule & Progress Tracking

• Track construction progress against the master schedule and flag delays or potential risks.
• Work with the planning team to validate contractor progress, sequencing, and interface readiness for downstream trades.
• Support Cx teams by ensuring CSA readiness for testing and commissioning (room readiness, structural certifications, access, sealing, architectural completeness).
• Oversee closure of CSA-related commissioning issues prior to handover.

6. HSE & Compliance

• Ensure contractors follow all site safety regulations and risk mitigation measures.
• Participate in toolbox meetings, safety walks, and hazard assessments involving CSA activities.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Architecture, or equivalent.
• 8–15 years of CSA experience in construction or PMC/CM environments.
• Experience in large-scale industrial, semiconductor, manufacturing, or data center projects is an advantage (DC experience not mandatory).
• Strong knowledge of structural works, concrete, steel, architecture, façade, waterproofing, internal finishes, and external works.
• Solid understanding of construction sequencing, interfaces, and Cx readiness requirements.
• Ability to lead, coordinate, and manage multiple contractors on a fast-paced project.
• Strong communication, problem-solving, and stakeholder management skills.

Preferred Experience

• Prior involvement in fast-track projects with heavy MEP interfaces.
• Experience working with international PMCs, EPCs, or GCs.
• Familiarity with ASHRAE, Uptime, hyperscale data center standards (advantage but not required).
