Collaborate with cross‑functional teams (mechanical, controls, civil, IT, and operations) to ensure fully integrated designs.
Review shop drawings, sequences of operation, and equipment submittals for compliance with various client specifications and standards.
Maintain and continuously improve design standards, specifications, and QA/QC processes.
Support energy strategy and capacity planning across regional and international data center projects.

What You’ll Bring
