Job description

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct site surveys and assess existing HVAC systems, available spaces, utilities, and installation constraints

• Develop and design HVAC solutions for commercial, industrial, and data center applications.

• Support pre-sales technical assessments — site surveys, feasibility checks, and basic system sizing/proposals when needed

• Coordinate with suppliers and manufacturers to obtain technical information, pricing, equipment selections, and project-specific solutions.

• Continuously evaluate new HVAC technologies and develop solutions that improve system reliability, energy efficiency, maintainability, and cost.

• Ensure designs comply with ASHRAE, SMACNA, NFPA, Philippine Mechanical Code, local regulations, and project requirements.

• Attend client and consultant meetings and provide technical presentations, clarifications, and responses to RFIs and design comments.

• Provide technical support during bidding, procurement, installation, testing, commissioning, and project handover.

• Prepare technical documentation: installation design, equipment functionality, and as-built drawings

• Liaise with clients and project managers to explain technical requirements, resolve site issues, and ensure project timelines are met

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering (or related field)

• 2–5 years of hands‑on experience in HVAC/AC installation, specifically:

• - PACU / CRAC / precision cooling units- Split type, DX, and VRV/VRF systems- Chilled water systems and pump installation- Ducting and plumbing works

• Proven field experience — not purely design/office-based — with actual installation and commissioning of air conditioning systems

• Ability to read and interpret mechanical/HVAC drawings and P&IDs

• Basic understanding of electrical systems as they relate to HVAC (control wiring, power connections) — full electrical certification not required, but working knowledge expected

• Willingness to work on‑site, including data center environments with strict access/safety protocols

• Good troubleshooting skills for mechanical and cooling system faults

Preferred Qualifications:

• Prior experience specifically in data center cooling projects (highly valued, even if limited)

• Familiarity with data center infrastructure standards (uptime/redundancy concepts, N+1 cooling design, etc.)

• Experience coordinating with electrical and BMS (Building Management System) teams

• Knowledge of chilled water plant components (chillers, cooling towers, pumps, valves)

• Certifications related to HVAC (e.g., manufacturer certifications for VRV/VRF systems, refrigeration license, etc.)

Key Competencies:

• Strong field/site coordination skills — comfortable managing installation crews and timelines

• Clear communication with clients, contractors, and internal teams

• Problem‑solving mindset for on‑site technical issues

• Attention to detail for compliance with specs and safety standards

• Ability to work under data center project constraints (limited downtime windows, security clearance, etc.)
