About the role

Our client designs, builds and operates AI compute infrastructure at gigawatt scale, with mechanical systems designed in-house and deployed as repeatable modular templates worldwide.

You'll take full ownership of the mechanical lifecycle, acting as the technical bridge between internal strategy and external consultants.

What you'll do

  • Own mechanical systems end to end for AI-optimised, high-density data centers, from early concept and analytical modelling through final build and deployment.
  • Lead the design and evolution of mechanical and cooling systems as the platform scales to multiple gigawatts.
  • Develop and maintain modular mechanical templates that enable rapid, repeatable global deployment.
  • Serve as the technical interface between internal teams and external consultants, keeping designs aligned with high-density cooling and power requirements.
  • Build supply-chain-aware solutions so designs integrate cleanly and deploy fast.

What we're looking for

  • You've owned mechanical design for data centers or high-density facilities, from concept and modelling through build.
  • You design cooling systems for AI-class density (chilled water, CDUs, direct liquid cooling) and think in modular, repeatable templates.
  • You manage external consultants and act as the technical bridge to internal strategy.
  • You design with supply chain and constructability in mind, not in a vacuum.
  • You want full ownership of the mechanical lifecycle at gigawatt scale.

Nice to have

  • PE license.
  • Direct-to-chip or liquid cooling design experience.
  • Modular or prefab template programs; CFD (6SigmaET, Icepak); ASHRAE TC 9.9.
