Job description

Shaping the Future of Regional Infrastructure: We Are Hiring

In the world of massive data scaling, the true challenge lies in bridging the gap between brilliant initial infrastructure design and long-term, unyielding operational resilience.

We are expanding our regional technical powerhouse. Reporting directly to theHead of Technical and Solutions, these roles are positioned to drive regional project delivery, cross-border operations, and global site evaluations.

If you are a visionary engineer ready to scale mission-critical facilities across Singapore, Malaysia, and the wider region, we want you on our team.

Lead Mechanical Engineer (Core & Reliability)

As theLead Mechanical Engineer, you will drive the architectural design, implementation, and lifecycle reliability of thermal management systems across our regional data center footprint. You will ensure that our mechanical infrastructure—from initial site concept to live, active operations—meets stringent uptime Service Level Agreements (SLAs) while seamlessly supporting high-density, next-generation client requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Design & Architecture:Spearhead and oversee the design of advanced thermal management systems, with a specialized focus on integrating liquid cooling architectures and high-density air-cooling solutions. You will develop standardized, modular mechanical blueprints that allow for concurrent maintainability, continuous cooling, and seamless capacity scaling without disrupting live operations. Additionally, you will evaluate and select mechanical equipment (chillers, CDUs, CRAC/CRAH units) based on efficiency, scalability, and long-term reliability.

• Reliability & Lifecycle Engineering:Embed Design-for-Reliability (DfR) principles into all mechanical designs and deployments, conducting extensive Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) during the design and delivery phases. You will establish predictive maintenance frameworks utilizing telemetry and Building Management System (BMS) data to preempt mechanical degradation and optimize PUE/WUE. Following any mechanical anomalies, you will lead the post-incident lifecycle once root cause analysis (RCA) is established, ensuring findings are integrated into future system designs.

• Strategic & Cross-Functional Support:Provide deep technical validation and engineering support for complex client deployments and operations teams, particularly in high-density markets like Singapore. You will partner closely with design and delivery teams in Malaysia to ensure on-the-ground mechanical construction and operations align perfectly with design tolerances and multi-phase schedules. Furthermore, you will assess mechanical viability, environmental compliance, and local climate constraints across the region.

What You Bring

• A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in mechanical engineering. A Professional Engineer (PE) or Chartered Technologist certification is highly preferred.

• Min 10 years of extensive experience in mission-critical infrastructure design and operations, specifically within large-scale data center environments.

• Demonstrated expertise in computational fluid dynamics (CFD), flow network modeling (FNM), liquid cooling systems, and advanced HVAC configurations.

Why Join Us?

• Be part of an expanding regional data centre platform backed by a reputable energy & infrastructure group.

• Gain exposure to hyperscale deals, JV structures, cross-border assets and high-value investments.
