About The Position

Our thirst for technology is a part of everything we do. The Data Center Engineering team takes the physical design of our data centers into the future. Our lab mirrors a research and development department -- cutting-edge strategies are born, tested and tested again. Along with a team of great minds, you take on complex topics like how we use power or how to run state-of-the-art, environmentally-friendly facilities. You're a visionary who optimizes for efficiencies and never stops seeking improvements -- even small changes that can make a huge impact. You generate ideas, communicate recommendations to senior-level executives and drive implementation alongside facilities technicians. With your technical expertise, you ensure compliance with codes and standards, develop infrastructure improvements and serve as an expert in your specialty (e.g., cooling, electrical). In this role, you will lead the development and review of program civil drawings and data center civil plans, including typical utility plans and coordination with consultant teams. You will develop and implement a comprehensive program construction schedule for civil works, support improvements to civil and geotechnical design standards, and contribute to the development of program products. Additionally, you will also possess general knowledge of and experience working with cross-discipline teams, including Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Architectural, Telecoms and Networking, and Utilities.
