Data Center Design Engineer (Mechanical / Electrical)

Job Description

Position OverviewData Center Prime (DCP) is seeking a Data Center Design Engineer with expertise in Mechanical and/or Electrical (M&E) systems to lead the development of resilient data center infrastructure. The successful candidate will translate strategic objectives into fully engineered, construction-ready design packages that align with international standards.Core ResponsibilitiesStrategic Design and Conceptualization? Develop foundational Basis of Design (BoD) documents that formally outline project technical goals, capacity requirements, and redundancy levels.? Define high-level architecture for power and cooling distribution systems.? Map redundant electrical and mechanical paths to achieve Concurrent Maintainability.? Perform engineering calculations to size major equipment, including Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems, switchgear, and chillers.? Produce preliminary and detailed drawing sets, including General Arrangements (GA), Single-Line Diagrams (SLDs), and Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs).? Utilize BIM tools for 3D modeling at various levels of detail to represent design concepts and ensure inter-disciplinary coordination.? Act as a technical liaison for certification processes with organizations such as the Uptime Institute or IDCA.Detailed Engineering and Specification? Create comprehensive For-Construction Drawings for all engineering disciplines, including architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical systems.? Design detailed power distribution plans, HVAC layouts, and fire detection and suppression systems.? Document rigorous engineering calculations for heat load analysis, power flow, fault levels, and hydraulic modeling.? Prepare detailed performance and material specifications for all infrastructure equipment.? Develop a detailed Bill of Quantities (BoQ) to facilitate accurate cost management.? Conduct internal peer reviews and coordination checks to ensure clash-free and integrated designs.Operational Readiness and Documentation? Develop Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Manuals outlining routine checks and preventative maintenance schedules.? Author Emergency Response Manuals detailing procedures for responding to critical incidents such as power or cooling failures.? Prepare technical data sheets to serve as definitive references for all major infrastructure systems.? Create comprehensive Installation & Deployment Guidelines, including site preparation requirements and system interconnection instructions.? Formulate Commissioning Checklists for system verification and testing before facility activation.Required Technical Qualifications? Standard Compliance: Deep understanding of Uptime Institute Tier III performance and topology principles.? System Design: Expertise in designing redundant capacity components and distribution paths for critical environments.? BIM Proficiency: Advanced capability in producing models and documentation in native formats such as RVT, DWG, and IFC.? Engineering Analysis: Proven ability to perform complex mechanical and electrical system calculations.? Regional Context: Familiarity with the data center market and technical requirements in the GCC and MENA regions.
