About The Position

We are seeking a CSA Engineer to lead and deliver all Civil, Structural, and Architectural scopes for a next-generation data center featuring high-density AI/HPC workloads and DLC cooling systems. The role ensures structural integrity, constructability, code compliance, architectural coordination, and seamless integration of CSA works with MEP, IT/OT, equipment installation, and commissioning activities.
This role offers you a great opportunity to:
Lead a landmark AI data center project: Phase 1 of a 100 MW “AI factory” in Georgia, fast-track, hyperscale, high-density - not a traditional colocation or enterprise facility.
Work at the forefront of AI infrastructure: Gain unique, marketable experience designing state-of-the-art power, cooling, and compute systems.
Work in a fast-paced, high-impact environment: Contribute to a project that pushes the boundaries of scale, density, and next-generation data center design.

• 7+ years of CSA experience in mission-critical environments with a strong exposure
• to (at least 6 years) in large‑scale, high‑density, fast‑track data center builds and project delivery.
• Significant experience overseeing design consultants and general contractors, not just doing design in isolation.
• Strong knowledge of IBC, ASCE, ACI, AISC, NFPA, ADA, and related standards.
• Experience coordinating CSA works with MEP disciplines.
• Ability to support fast-track construction environments and resolve field issues efficiently.
• Georgia General contractor license

• Perform calculations for gravity loads, seismic, wind, dynamic loads, vibration, and heavy equipment anchoring.
• Ensure CSA designs accommodate DLC system requirements such as piping weight, anchor points, and thermal expansion considerations.
• Review geotechnical reports, site drainage, grading, retaining structures, and utility routing.
• Validate that all CSA design packages meet performance, resilience, and durability requirements.
• Architectural & Building Systems
• Lead architectural design coordination including layouts, fire separations, wall assemblies, and space optimization for high-density computing areas.
• Integrate architectural layouts with MEP systems ensuring proper clearances, maintainability, airflow, and equipment access.
• Develop specifications for building envelope, roofing, insulation, waterproofing, firestopping, penetrations, and structural openings.
• Ensure proper design and sizing of loading docks, staging areas, access routes, and equipment movement paths.
• Code Compliance & Permitting
• Ensure compliance with IBC, NFPA, ASCE, local/state building codes, and AHJ requirements.
• Support permitting submissions, inspections, and coordination with authorities.
• Design Coordination & Multidisciplinary Alignment
