About the job
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.
In this role, you will work with other electrical and mechanical engineers, and provide project design and field engineering services, project implementation, and participation in all phases of a project life cycle. You will act as the interface between internal customers and the project team. You will be involved in all the site capital projects from green field construction to major modification of existing infrastructures and participation and preparation of all types of documents including Statement of Work (SOW), Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis, drawing mark-ups, budget, schedule, final startup/commissioning reports, review and acceptance of as-builts, and review of submittals.
