3. Having an excellent understanding and experience of the mechanical and control systems used in a data centre environment, including: Fuel Systems, Building Management Systems and Controls, Chilled water cooling plant, Air handling units, Variable Frequency Drives (VSDs), Fire Alarm systems, and Fire Suppression systems (pre-action sprinklers).
4. Gaining experience with complex automatic control equipment, including relay logic, programmable logic controllers (PLC's), building management systems, and their integration with the data centre infrastructure.
5. Acquiring extensive experience of large-scale chilled water plants including chillers, chilled water distribution and storage systems, Liquid Cooling systems, cooling towers, and chemical dosing systems.
6. Collaborating with the core team to understand, develop and update the data centre mechanical designs, starting from basis of design (BOD), feasibility study, concept and detailed design development to issue for construction (IFC) documents, for new data centre project buildouts and major infrastructure upgrades to all levels of testing and commissioning works.
7. Performing as a Mechanical engineer subject matter expert to work with consultants during concept design, detailed design, procurement, bidding, SAT, delivery, and installation on site. Identifying and resolving issues raised by the cross-functional teams.
8. Updating and maintaining the internal design specifications, drawings, and standards in accordance with the latest configurations and including all 'lessons learned' in relation to all equipment. Performing design and equipment submittal review for new Data Centers.
9. Liaising with internal business units and external customers for technical requirements to translate into executable plans for implementation by consultant and/or contractor.
10. Being knowledgeable in Building Management System/DCIM, able to understand system architecture and point schedule. Experience in handling BMS/DCIM enhancement projects.
11. Evaluating the design & construction and operation of mission-critical facilities and associated MEP components.
12. Participating and reviewing Data Center MEP Design and other necessary disciplines for new data center builds and data hall fitouts.
13. Continuing to find ways to collaborate and break new ground to enhance MEP design to meet future needs. Developing innovative solutions.
14. Owning the conceptual design for existing data center upgrades and design-solutions, which add capacity, improve availability, increase efficiency and sustainability.
15. Supporting the DC Engineering FM team to become a Subject Matter Expert and understand how to overcome design limitations and risks.
16. Interfacing with internal stakeholders to promote standards that maintain consistency and reliability in services delivered.
17. Liaising and assisting Operation team to identify/understand Mechanical System issues and provide solutions.
18. Performing technical design reviews and proposals for data centre first of kind systems and equipment.
19. Reviewing data centre commissioning scripts to ensure they accurately test all modes of operations. Witnessing key commissioning tests on site.
20. Conducting site inspections and working with onsite field engineers, as well as providing engineering evaluations, mechanical systems audits, and start-up as needed.
21. Maintaining positive and collaborative working relations with partner teams, vendors, teammates, and internal customers.
