Job description

• Will be accountable for completing the design for multiple projects in parallel (both greenfield and fit-out), within budget and program. Projects will span across regional metros. The design must be concurrently maintainable, meet five nones availability, be optimized for local climate conditions and be sustainable with both power and water availability.
• Be responsible for attending technical interviews with client and vendors, developing tender and construction drawings, drafting of tender specifications, conducting technical evaluation, performing technical download to construction and operation teams, and problem solving.
• Reviewing equipment specifications, equipment-shop drawing, and construction drawing to ensure the design is well coordinated with other disciplines and maintainable, code-compliant, and meet build-to-suit requirements.

KEY DELIVERABLES

• Design output quality assurance
• Technical evaluation of design variation
• Testing and inspection result verification
• General contractor tender document and evaluation
• Regulatory compliance
• Site-specific solutions
• Basis of Design
• Standardized construction methodology, inspection checklist, material specifications for quality control
• Delivery of multiple regional projects simultaneously
• Positive influence and outcome driven pre-consultation with Authorities having Jurisdiction
• Quality control of critical workmanship affecting the durability and functionality of critical services
• Familiar with changes in planning policy and law that may affect property development
• Experienced in designing for next generation for AI workload

REQUIREMENTS

• Mechanical Professional Engineer (ACMV and Fire Protection) with practicing certificate preferred
• 6 years in Data Centre Detail Design
• Experience in mechanical studies – air flow modeling, heat load calculation, hydraulic calculation, computational fluid dynamic modeling for hot air re-entrainment, rate of temperature rise simulation, boundary noise simulation, prevailing wind influence on hot air exhaust
• Experience in the design and equipment selection for make-up water tank thermal storage tank, centralized diesel storage and delivery system, goods lift, fireman lift
• Familiar with cooling method – direct & indirect evaporative cooling, closed circuit heat exchange, dry cooler, magnetic bearing chiller, cold plate liquid cooling, immersion cooling
• Experience in Chiller Plant Operation System, sequence of operation & PLC flow chart
• Experience in Energy Modeling for Green Mark Data Centre
• Experience in hyper scale datacenter, micro-electronics or other critical infrastructure is preferred
• Due to the need to liaise with regional stakeholders, proficiency in English and Mandarin is required
• Willing to travel based on business needs
