This senior-level role leads the structural and modular design of hyperscale and enterprise data center facilities. The engineer drives concept development through construction documentation, integrating prefabricated modular systems with site-built structural solutions. The position requires deep expertise in steel design, BIM-driven workflows, and cross disciplinary coordination on fast-track, high-availability projects.

Role & responsibilities

-- Develop structural systems for current data center builds and campus expansions

-- Evaluate steel, concrete, and hybrid framing options against program requirements

-- Lead design charrettes and structural feasibility studies at early project phases

-- Perform gravity, lateral, and seismic analysis per ASCE 7, IBC, and ACI/AISC standards

-- Size and detail structural members, connections, and foundation systems

-- Coordinate with geotechnical reports to develop foundation design strategies.





-- Design structural interfaces for prefabricated modular units (PMM, skid-mounted MEP)

-- Coordinate module sequencing, transport loads, and lifting/rigging requirements

-- Collaborate with modular vendors to validate structural adequacy and tolerances

-- Author and manage structural Revit models to LOD 350/400 standards

Preferred candidate profile

-- 10+ years of experience in structural design, with at least 4 years on data center or mission-critical projects

-- Proficiency in ETABS, RAM Structural System, or SAP2000

-- Advanced Revit/BIM authoring skills and experience with ISO 19650 workflows

-- Strong working knowledge of AISC, ACI, ASCE 7, and IBC codes.

-- Exposure to fast-track design-build delivery and integrated project delivery (IPD)

-- LEED AP or familiarity with sustainable structural material strategie
