About the role

This is an HVAC Engineering role focused on design, technical documentation, site supervision, and commissioning of HVAC systems for data center projects. You will review and develop HVAC design deliverables, prepare engineering documents, supervise installation works, support testing and commissioning activities, coordinate across disciplines, ensure compliance with standards, and represent the HVAC discipline in project meetings.

Key responsibilities

• Review and develop HVAC design deliverables including cooling load calculations, equipment selection, ductwork layouts, piping schematics, and general arrangement drawings; ensure compliance with project specifications and data center standards
• Prepare and review key engineering documents including Scope of Work, RFQ, Method of Statement (MOS), and Testing & Commissioning (T&C) procedures
• Supervise HVAC installation works including chiller plants, CRAC/CRAH units, precision cooling systems, ductwork, piping, and ventilation systems; ensure works are executed in accordance with approved design drawings and safety standards
• Support commissioning and test run activities including air balancing, water balancing, chiller performance testing, and integrated system testing; verify installed systems against design intent; close out punch items
• Coordinate HVAC design interfaces across electrical, civil, structural, and controls disciplines; ensure design consistency and constructability
• Ensure HVAC works comply with applicable codes, standards, and client specifications (ASHRAE, GB50174, TIA-942, local regulations)
• Represent the HVAC discipline in project/site coordination meetings with clients, consultants, and contractors

About you
