Description

Do you dream of working in a role where your talent with water chemistry, treatment and quality and next-generation data center design can be merged? Do you want to expand your current knowledge of building systems while providing input from your previous experience? Have you ever wondered what it is like to be able to influence construction on a global scale? YES! Then keep reading….

In this role you will influence water chemistry and treatment, coordinating with design engineering colleagues, construction, operations, and maintenance for our global fleet of data centers. This includes on site and large campus water systems. You will work with internal and external teams to define, design, detail, and document the various water treatment features that our facilities require, using both prescriptive and performance-based design approaches. As an Owner, you will strive to ensure the water treatment features of our buildings protect our people and keep our customer’s data safe and uninterrupted over the life of the building. We expect you to contribute your expertise to the continual improvement of our water system design standards.

Primary responsibilities will be to perform and oversee project-related work, such as water supply analysis and design for buildings, including coordination with utilities and internal water teams to establish basic site infrastructure requirements. The ability to coordinate mechanical system space requirements, supporting utilities, and equipment locations, and to provide detailed construction specifications for water treatment systems. You will typically be responsible for the preparation of detailed designs for hydronic systems. You will review all design disciplines to ensure they meet the code requirements described in our design standards. In some cases, you will oversee and review this work and in other cases you will perform the work yourself.

As the team’s subject matter expert, you will ensure that contractors have the information they need to build our data centers the way we expect them to, and that our operations teams are well equipped to operate and maintain them as needed to meet our goals. As part of this role you will work with internal and external stakeholders, including design engineering, construction, commissioning, operations, vendors, and other service providers, as well as local building and fire officials. You will be part of a global team, and you will be an integral part of our work to change the world through technology.

Key job responsibilities

• Driving improvement of design standards and project approaches across the organization.

• Work with third party design vendors to review concept designs and designs in progress to ensure they meet established design standards, local code requirements, and any other requirements of the Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs).

• Be responsible for providing high quality water treatment advice on a wide variety of projects globally while working with global Mechanical engineering teams to achieve alignment of water treatment systems objectives.

• Coordinating with construction, commissioning, and risk management teams to answer requests for information and value engineering queries.

• Be responsible for code compliance, design and installation standards, water supply evaluation and assessment, testing, inspections, and submittal review. Meet with AHJs as needed to ensure approval of water treatement features.

• This position will require up to 25% travel.
