1. Job Description: MEP Engineers

Position Purpose

The MEP Engineer coordinates the installation, testing, and balancing of all Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing systems. This role bridges the gap between different engineering disciplines, ensuring that power, cooling, and water infrastructure integrate perfectly into the building design.

Key Responsibilities

·        Site Coordination: Oversee and coordinate day-to-day installation activities for all MEP trades on the construction floor.

·        Progress Tracking: Monitor subcontractor performance against the master construction schedule to prevent delays.

·        Design Review: Cross-check structural, architectural, and MEP drawings to identify and resolve spatial clashes before installation using digital models.

·        Testing & Commissioning (T&C): Assist the commissioning agent during the critical Level 1 to Level 5 data centre commissioning phases.

·        Problem Solving: Resolve technical engineering issues and coordinate requests for information (RFIs) between site teams, clients, and consultants.

2. Job Description: MEP QA/QC Engineers

Position Purpose

The MEP QA/QC Engineer is the guardian of project quality. Data centres cannot afford single points of failure. This role ensures that all equipment, materials, and installation methods strictly follow the design specifications, local codes, and global uptime certifications.

Key Responsibilities

·        Inspections: Conduct daily site inspections and issue Non-Conformance Reports (NCR) when work does not meet structural or quality standards.

·        Documentation: Prepare, organize, and maintain the Project Quality Plan, including Material Inspection Requests (MIR) and Work Inspection Requests (WIR).

·        Audit Management: Manage pre-commissioning documentation and check sheets required for final handover to the client operations team.

·        Material Validation: Verify that incoming MEP materials match approved samples and technical data sheets before delivery to the floor.

·        Witness Testing: Attend and sign off on factory acceptance tests (FAT) and site acceptance tests (SAT) for critical equipment.

3. Job Description: Electrical Engineers

Position Purpose

The Electrical Engineer owns the power infrastructure of the data centre. This role manages everything from the high-voltage utility connection down to the server racks, ensuring continuous, redundant power distribution.

Key Responsibilities

·        Power Infrastructure Build: Supervise the installation of HT/MV/LV switchgears, transformers, diesel generators, UPS systems, and Power Distribution Units (PDUs).

·        Testing Oversight: Lead the site testing for electrical systems, including insulation testing, protection relay calibration, and load bank testing.

·        Authority Liaison: Coordinate with local utility providers (like TNB) and regulatory bodies for testing, energization, and permanent power connection.

·        Safety & Compliance: Ensure all electrical installations comply with local safety standards, electrical grid codes, and site health guidelines.

4. Job Description: HVAC / Mechanical Engineers

Position Purpose

The HVAC / Mechanical Engineer is responsible for the massive cooling systems needed to keep servers from overheating. This role handles large-scale chilled water infrastructure and precision airflow systems.

Key Responsibilities

·        Cooling Plant Installation: Supervise the installation of industrial chillers, cooling towers, CRAH/CRAC units, chilled water pipe networks, and pumps.

·        Airflow Management: Ensure raised flooring, hot/cold aisle containment, and ductworks are tightly sealed and installed to specification.

·        Pressure & Leak Testing: Oversee hydrostatic testing for chilled water piping and duct leakage testing protocols.

·        System Balancing: Manage the Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing (TAB) of air and water systems to achieve optimal energy efficiency.

5. Job Description: Fire Protection Engineers

Position Purpose

The Fire Protection Engineer designs and supervises systems that detect and put out fires without destroying sensitive electronic hardware. They ensure the building complies with strict life-safety laws.

Key Responsibilities

·        Specialized Suppression: Oversee the installation of data centre-specific fire systems, including Pre-Action sprinklers and Gas Suppression Systems (e.g., FM-200, Novec 1230, or Inert gas).

·        Early Detection: Supervise the deployment of VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus) and regular smoke detector networks.

·        Bomba Clearance: Manage room integrity testing (door fan tests) for gas rooms and lead inspections to secure the Certificate of Completion and Compliance (CCC) from Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat.

·        Life Safety Integration: Ensure fire alarm systems smoothly trigger fire doors, access control overrides, and HVAC shutdowns during emergencies.

6. Job Description: ELV / BMS / ICT Engineers

Position Purpose

The ELV/BMS/ICT Engineer builds the control systems, security features, and network backbone of the facility. This role ensures the data centre can be monitored and operated safely in real-time.

Key Responsibilities

·        BMS & Controls: Supervise the installation of Building Management Systems (BMS), SCADA, and Environmental Monitoring Systems (EMS) to track temperatures and power usage.

·        Network Infrastructure: Manage the installation of structured cabling, including pathways, containment, and termination of high-strand fibre optic and copper cables.

·        Security Systems: Oversee physical security infrastructure, including biometric access control, turnstiles, and CCTV cameras.

·        Integration Testing: Test the software communication links (Modbus, BACnet, SNMP) between MEP hardware and the central control room.
