Job description

Our company is expanding our Data Center Build & Critical Environment practice, and we’re looking for a Data Center/Construction Solution Architect who can bridge the gap between business needs and physical data center realization.

In this role, you will architect services to produce high availability, high density, and construction-ready solutions across power, cooling, white space, and life-safety systems. You’ll guide clients through complex infrastructure decisions, lead technical scope development, partner with engineering and construction teams, and ensure the services you design perform as intended through commissioning and handover.

If you enjoy shaping mission critical environments, influencing system topologies, and pushing data center capabilities forward—this is the role.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or Construction Management.
• 5+ years in data center design, mission critical construction, critical facilities engineering, or commissioning, preferably in hyperscale or colocation data centers.
• Strong understanding of UPS systems, switchgear, generators, chilled water/DX cooling, containment, fire & life safety, and high density/GPU cooling trends.
• Familiarity with Tier standards, TIA 942, ASHRAE TC 9.9, NFPA codes, and data center design and operational best practices.
• Ability to develop and defend CAPEX/OPEX models, evaluate vendor bids, and write detailed technical SOWs.
• Skilled at simplifying complex engineering decisions for non-technical leaders and driving alignment across multiple stakeholders.
