Job Overview: Data Center Project Validation Specialist (Contract)

Our client is seeking a seasoned Data Center Project Validation Specialist to support the development of a next-generation, high-density data center on an hourly, project-based contract (estimated duration: 3–6 months). The specialist will provide expert oversight during the Pre-FEED (Preliminary Front-End Engineering Design) and FEED (Front-End Engineering Design) phases, ensuring all technical deliverables align with performance targets, compliance standards, and industry best practices for rack densities exceeding 100kW.

This is a remote-first role with occasional on-site visits and is critical to the client’s progression toward Final Investment Decision (FID) and Financial Close.

• Identify risks that could impact compliance, performance, or financial readiness.
• Coordinate efforts between internal stakeholders and external partners to align validation activities with overall project timelines.
• Provide well-documented insights to support due diligence and investment decision-making.

Core Responsibilities

• Validation Oversight: Lead the assessment of architectural, engineering, and technical plans across Pre-FEED and FEED stages.
• Risk Assessment: Identify and document design, engineering, or implementation risks, and propose mitigation strategies.
• Stakeholder Coordination: Work closely with engineering teams, architects, vendors, and financial stakeholders to ensure cohesive validation efforts.
• Compliance Assurance: Confirm alignment with industry standards such as ASHRAE, TIA-942, NFPA 75, and ANSI/BICSI.
• Reporting: Deliver detailed validation reports and risk assessments to inform decision-making and investor confidence.
• Milestone Monitoring: Track and report on progress toward validation, FID, and Financial Close objectives.

Candidate Profile

Experience

• Minimum 8 years in data center project management, technical validation, or design coordination.

• In-depth understanding of Pre-FEED and FEED phases in infrastructure development.
• Strong familiarity with data center design standards and operational requirements.
• Hands-on experience validating large-scale, high-density infrastructure.

Professional Skills

• Excellent organizational, communication, and stakeholder management abilities.
• Skilled in risk identification and issue resolution.
• Able to synthesize complex technical data into actionable insights.
• Contract Type: Hourly, project-based (3–6 months)
• Work Arrangement: Primarily remote, with occasional travel to project sites as required
