This role is critical for evaluating new facility opportunities, supporting major infrastructure expansion and retrofit projects, optimizing colocation deployments, and ensuring our critical infrastructure is delivered safely, reliably, and efficiently. Leveraging your deep technical expertise, you will collaborate with cross-functional partner teams, lead technical assessments, and mentor other engineers.
Lead technical due diligence assessments for potential new leased and colocation data center facilities across APAC, focusing on the entire mechanical system including chilled water plant, data hall air-side and liquid-side cooling systems, fuel oil systems, fire alarm and fire protection systems.
Conduct comprehensive design document reviews (Basis of Design, detailed mechanical drawings, and P&ID) submitted by external A/E or colocation partners. Review and approve equipment submittals, design development and mechanical studies (e.g., CFD, hydraulic analysis).
Lead the field-side RFI process, identifying potential spatial or mechanical conflicts and providing immediate engineering solutions to avoid rework. Own and manage the program and project level mechanical system issues regarding the system design, identify and resolve the issues with cross functional teams and stakeholders.
Minimum qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Industrial Engineering, related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
5 years of experience in mission critical facility design and construction environments.
Experience in data center mechanical systems including air-cooled/water-cooled chilled water plant, data hall air-side and liquid-side cooling systems, fuel oil systems, fire alarm and fire protection systems.
Ability to travel 15% of the time across APAC countries as required.
Preferred qualifications
Master's degree in Engineering, Business or other relevant field, or a professional engineering license.
Experience managing or executing greenfield/brownfield data center developments, expansions and colocation fit-outs.
Track record of evaluating and negotiating technical requirements with colocation operators and external engineering/construction partners.
Understanding of global mechanical standards and local standards/practices in various APAC countries.
Familiarity with standard data center commissioning methodologies.
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Industrial Engineering, related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
