Principal Mechanical Engineer

Principal Mechanical Design Engineer | Data Centers | 0.2% Equity

I’m working with a fast-growing data center developer/operator looking to bring on a Principal Mechanical Engineer to help shape the next generation of AI and hyperscale infrastructure across the US.

This is a chance to join a business combining institutional real estate expertise with hyperscale data center development, backed by a team with 100+ years of real estate experience and several GW of data center delivery experience.

They’re taking a turnkey approach to development, with a focus on securing strategic sites, overcoming utility constraints and accelerating delivery through infrastructure investment, including onsite substations.

What’s on offer?

• 0.2% equity in a growing data center platform
• Principal-level technical ownership and influence over engineering strategy
• The opportunity to shape mechanical design standards and product development across multiple sites
• Direct exposure to hyperscale customers, investors and senior leadership
• A key role in site selection, campus master planning and new site development

What they’re looking for:

• 10+ years of mechanical engineering experience, ideally within data centers or mission-critical environments
• Strong knowledge of critical cooling systems, HVAC controls and data center performance metrics
• Experience reviewing early-stage designs, master plans and technical specifications
• A PE or Chartered Engineering qualification would be advantageous

This is more than a traditional design role. It’s an opportunity to influence how a growing data center platform develops and delivers its infrastructure, with meaningful equity participation.
