Role Summary

We are seeking a highly capable Data Center Engineer to support both data center construction and infrastructure operations. This role is instrumental in delivering data center build-out projects from design review through installation, testing, commissioning, and final handover, while ensuring stable and reliable day-to-day operations after project completion.

The successful candidate will actively participate in project construction phases, system installation, testing and commissioning, and will subsequently transition into ongoing operational support following project completion. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in mission-critical environments and a solid understanding of electrical and mechanical systems within data centers.

This position requires close collaboration with contractors, vendors, consultants, and internal stakeholders to ensure projects are delivered safely, on schedule, and in accordance with technical specifications and industry standards. The role demands strong technical judgment, hands-on execution capability, and the ability to manage complex mission-critical infrastructure systems in high-availability environments.
