Infrastructure Manager

HCLTech; Town of Texas (WI); On-site; USD 90,000 - 135,000; Full time

Job summary

HCLTech is seeking an experienced Facilities/IT Infrastructure Engineer in the United States to lead cooling capacity sizing for MDF/IDF rooms, converting kW to BTU/hr and validating HVAC readiness. You will coordinate with vendors to ensure proper installation, commissioning, and sign-off, while ensuring ASHRAE-aligned environmental targets.

Required are a Bachelor’s in Architecture or Electrical/Mechanical Engineering and 5+ years in construction or IT facilities, with strong airflow

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, Electrical, Mechanical or 7 years relevant experience in a construction or architectural role.
• ISO 9001 qualification is a plus
• 5+ years proficiency with Microsoft suite of business tools (Word, Excel, PowerPoint Project)
• Ability to deliver on tight deadlines and manage multiple deliverables.
• Ability to work with several vendors competing to work in tight spaces simultaneously.
• Ability to pivot and refocus on an immediate need on demand
• Proficiency with structured cabling standards: copper, fiber, and UTP.
• Precision and attention to detail is a must and enforceable
• Preferred: Experience with critical facilities environments (UPS, Generator/ATS, power redundancy)

Responsibilities

• Perform/validate IT heat-load calculations for MDF/IDF spaces using deployed hardware power draw (kW) and convert to BTU/hr. Ensure cooling is sized for current load + growth margin.
• Validate mechanical design assumptions including airflow, temperature differential, humidity control, and equipment placement to prevent hotspots.
• Coordinate with Facilities/mechanical vendors to ensure HVAC is installed, commissioned, and verified prior to rack & stack; document test results and readiness sign-off.
• Establish/verify environmental targets aligned with ASHRAE guidance for IT spaces (temperature/humidity operating range) and confirm monitoring points/sensor placement.
• Experience and ability to manage a technology construction project from concept through completion.
• Familiarity with IT industry teams. Such as but not limited to: Infrastructure Compute, Infrastructure network, IT-OT, storage, TCP/IP, and most common IT terminology.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, Project, and PowerPoint
• Deep technical expertise and Proficiency with UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply), mechanical (cooling), and electrical terms and best practices
• Proficiency on (but not limited to) ANSI/TIA-568, TIA-569, TIA-606, J-STD-607, NFPA 70 (NEC), ASHRAE, and BICSI TDMM standards, norms and practices.
• Ability to manage several physical/construction tasks simultaneously. Including but not limited to:
• Familiar with blueprints and design concepts.
• Familiar with electrical terms, building code, NEC and NEMA
• Experience with OSHA and workplace safety guidelines
• Experience working and partnering with General Contractors, electricians, mechanical technicians, carpenters, high and low voltage wiring personnel.
• Ability to work in construction spaces: inside, outside, all weather conditions, warehouse spaces
• Proficient skills with mathematics, measurements, temperature gradients, humidity terms is a must
• Ability to work in non-conventional spaces: ladders, catwalks, conveyer belts, rooftops, and scissor lifts.
• Precision and attention to detail is a must and enforceable
• Deliver consistent results at one and all sites with the exact same results
• Select travel when approved
• Regular written updates and status reports
• Demonstrated experience performing cooling capacity sizing for IT rooms (MDF/IDF), including kW load planning, BTU/hr conversion, and HVAC capacity validation (tons).
• Working knowledge of airflow management best practices (hot/cold aisle concepts, blanking panels, cable management to reduce airflow blockage).
• Ability to interpret technical proposals and validate against IT load requirements.
