Job description

Nexus Data Centers is hiring a Field Engineer to sit within our engineering group on a multi-gigawatt hyperscale AI data center campus in Hill County, TX. This role works directly with our design and engineering team to keep construction aligned with design intent, in real time, on a large and fast-moving site.

What You'll Do

• Interpret and translate design drawings and specifications into field layout, staking, and construction execution
• Perform and verify site survey, grading, and layout control for civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical scopes
• Work directly with engineering to resolve discrepancies and design conflicts as field conditions arise
• Generate and track RFIs from the field, ensuring engineering responses are captured and implemented correctly
• Maintain accurate as-built documentation and redlines to feed back into the engineering record set
• Conduct field quality checks against design tolerances and specifications
• Support constructability reviews, flagging design issues before they hit the field
• Coordinate with Superintendents and Project Engineers to keep engineering-driven scope on schedule

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent field experience)
• 5+ years of field engineering experience on heavy industrial, power generation, or utility-scale construction (data center experience a plus, not required)
• Working knowledge of survey/layout tools (total station, GPS), AutoCAD and Civil 3D, and Bluebeam
• Strong technical fluency: comfortable reading and interrogating design drawings, not just building to them
• Comfortable engaging design engineers directly and iteratively throughout the build
• Ability to be on-site full-time in Hubbard, TX

Physical Requirements & Work Environment

• Regularly divides time between a site office or trailer and active construction areas, standing and walking on uneven ground for extended periods
• Climb ladders, stairs, and scaffolding, and work at heights or in confined spaces as scope requires
• Occasionally lift and carry up to 50 pounds, with frequent bending, kneeling, reaching, and grasping
• Work outdoors year-round in Central Texas conditions, including extreme heat, cold, wind, rain, dust, and high noise levels
• Wear required PPE on site at all times, including hard hat, safety glasses, high-visibility clothing, and steel-toed boots
• Valid driver's license and the ability to travel across a large, active site daily
• Extended hours, including occasional nights and weekends, as the construction schedule requires
• Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of this role
