We’re seeking an experienced Structural Engineer specializing in mission‑critical facilities to join our infrastructure team supporting the rapid build‑out of large‑scale compute clusters and data centers. The role involves leading structural design and analysis, collaborating with cross‑functional teams, and ensuring designs meet seismic resilience, vibration control, and high‑density equipment requirements. The position is full‑time, on‑site (with hybrid flexibility), and requires extensive experience in large‑scale data center projects, professional licensure, and strong project management and communication skills.

Requirements

Skills

  • Bachelor of Science in Civil or Structural Engineering from an accredited university
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license required; Structural Engineer (SE) preferred
  • 10+ years of professional experience in structural engineering for building projects
  • Demonstrated expertise in structural design and analysis for mission-critical or hyperscale data center facilities
  • Proficiency with structural analysis software (e.g., ETABS, RISA, STAAD) and CAD/BIM tools (e.g., Revit, Tekla Structures, AutoCAD)
  • Strong knowledge of building codes, seismic design, vibration control, and interfaces with MEP systems
  • Excellent communication, problem-solving, and project management skills
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with changing priorities
  • Demonstrated ability to lead multidisciplinary coordination efforts on mission-critical facilities, where structural design directly supports stringent uptime, seismic resilience, vibration control, and large load capacity requirements
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills for effective collaboration and communication with internal and external construction team members
  • Master's degree in Structural Engineering (preferred)
  • 10+ years of experience specifically with large-scale data centers (hyperscale, colocation, or AI compute facilities) (preferred)
  • Experience managing fast-track projects, design-build delivery, and multidisciplinary teams (preferred)
  • Familiarity with modular and prefabricated construction techniques (preferred)
  • Track record of mentoring teams and acting as a subject matter expert (preferred)
  • Ability to travel occasionally (30-50%) for site visits and project support (additional)
  • Ability to work extended hours when needed to meet aggressive timelines (additional)
  • Must pass pre-employment background check and drug screening (additional)

Responsibilities

  • Lead structural design and analysis for large-scale data center and compute facilities, from conceptual design through construction administration
  • Develop and review structural models, calculations, drawings, and specifications using tools like Tekla Structures, ETABS, RISA, STAAD, or equivalent
  • Oversee multidisciplinary coordination, ensuring seamless integration of structural systems with MEP, cooling infrastructure, raised floors, rooftop equipment, and modular/precast components
  • Perform seismic analysis, vibration isolation design, load path evaluations, and assessments for high-density equipment loads and redundant systems
  • Manage project schedules, budgets, and deliverables; review shop drawings, submittals, and RFIs; conduct site visits and inspections
  • Mentor junior engineers and designers; assign tasks and ensure high-quality, on-time delivery
  • Identify risks, propose innovative solutions, and drive cost optimization while maintaining safety and compliance with relevant codes (ASCE 7, ACI, AISC, IBC, local seismic requirements)
  • Stay current on data center innovations, including modular construction, steel/precast framing, and scalable design approaches
  • Provide regular updates to leadership via KPIs, reports, and presentations
  • Contribute to process improvements and shared leadership across the team
  • Perform and/or review drawings, calculations and analyses to ensure structural integrity and compliance with building codes and regulations
