Job description

ABOUT HUT 8

Imagine the ultimate destination for those who want to work at the cutting edge of technology, energy, and infrastructure. Hut8 is on a mission to build and operate some of the world’s largest data centers for next-generation computing workloads, including AI, Colocation, Cloud, and Bitcoin Mining. We are proud to offer interesting and challenging opportunities for individuals who want to build teams, solve problems, and make an impact from day one. If you’re an ambitious individual looking for a career that is as rewarding as it is challenging, you’ve come to the right place.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Senior Structural Engineer in our EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) team, you will design and analyze the foundation and structural systems for the data center, ensuring they meet performance and safety standards. Your role involves optimizing structural systems to support heavy equipment, analyzing both foundations and metal structures under various loads, and using engineering software to ensure the structures' reliability and efficiency. You will collaborate closely with architects, MEP engineers, and the EPC team to align on project requirements, provide solutions, and recommend improvements, balancing structural integrity with cost and time constraints throughout the project lifecycle.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design and analyze foundations for heavy equipment and infrastructure, ensuring compliance with regulations and safety standards.
• Conduct detailed structural analysis of metal structures (steel frameworks, beams, supports) to evaluate their performance under dynamic loads, stress, and environmental conditions.
• Perform load-bearing capacity analysis and determine material specifications for both concrete and metal components.
• Work closely with architects, MEP engineers, and other stakeholders to ensure alignment across all project disciplines and optimize design solutions.
• Collaborate with the EPC team to troubleshoot and resolve any structural issues during design and construction phases.
• Prepare detailed engineering reports, design calculations, drawings, and technical specifications for all structural designs.
• Conduct site inspections and provide recommendations for ensuring the structural integrity of the building during the construction phase.
• Ensure that designs adhere to safety standards, quality control, and environmental regulations.
• Monitor construction processes to ensure that structures are built in accordance with approved designs and specifications.

ABOUT YOU

• Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Civil/Structural Engineering.
• 7+ years in structural engineering, with a focus on foundation design and calculations.
• Expertise in structural analysis software (e.g., STAAD Pro, AutoCAD), load-bearing calculations, and design standards for concrete and metal structures.
• Expertise in the analysis of metal structures under dynamic loading, fatigue, and thermal stress.
• Experience with large scale commercial buildings (e.g., warehouses, manufacturing facilities etc.).
• Familiarity with geotechnical studies, foundation design techniques, and related regulations.
• Familiarity with IBC code and FM requirements.
• Experience in data center or energy facility design.

ABOUT THE WORK ENVIRONMENT

This role is in office at our corporate headquarters in the Brickell area of Miami, Florida. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
