About the Job

Requirements

  • A Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline, or an equivalent combination of technical education and relevant experience.
  • At least 8 years of experience in mechanical engineering, mechanical construction, or construction engineering, preferably involving large-scale commercial or industrial projects.
  • Experience inspecting mechanical installations, identifying construction deficiencies, and coordinating corrective actions.
  • Strong knowledge of HVAC systems, chillers, pumps, piping, plumbing, and associated mechanical infrastructure.
  • Experience reviewing mechanical drawings, technical submittals, construction specifications, and BIM coordination models.
  • Working knowledge of applicable mechanical codes and standards, including the International Mechanical Code (IMC), International Plumbing Code (IPC), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) requirements, and American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) requirements.
  • Experience supporting mechanical equipment testing, commissioning, construction quality assurance, and technical documentation.
  • Ability to independently evaluate construction quality, communicate technical concerns, and coordinate effectively with contractors, design engineers, and project teams.
  • Ability to stand and walk for extended periods, climb stairs and ladders, and access active construction areas, mechanical rooms, equipment platforms, and other designated facility spaces.
  • Ability to wear required personal protective equipment and follow established safety procedures.

Responsibilities

  • Conduct daily site inspections to monitor mechanical construction quality, identify deficiencies, and verify installations against approved designs and project requirements.
  • Inspect HVAC systems, chillers, pumps, piping, plumbing, fire protection systems, and associated mechanical infrastructure.
  • Review mechanical submittals, shop drawings, equipment specifications, engineering drawings, and BIM coordination models to identify technical discrepancies and installation conflicts.
  • Serve as the primary on-site mechanical engineering contact, coordinating technical questions, requests for information (RFIs), and construction issues with contractors and off-site design engineers.
  • Identify installation deficiencies, design discrepancies, and incomplete work, and track corrective actions through resolution.
  • Witness mechanical system testing and commissioning activities, including pressure testing, flushing, equipment startup, testing, adjusting and balancing (TAB), and functional performance testing.
  • Support integrated systems testing, system acceptance, and project handover, including review of as-built drawings, equipment documentation, and operations and maintenance manuals.
  • Maintain accurate inspection reports, punch lists, non-conformance reports, technical records, and construction quality documentation.
  • Collaborate with Construction, Engineering, Operations, and commissioning teams to resolve technical concerns and support project progress.
  • Monitor compliance with applicable mechanical codes, safety standards, and project specifications, including IMC, IPC, NFPA, and ASHRAE requirements.
  • Respond to technical questions and support project needs during evenings or weekends when necessary.
  • Potentially travel to additional project locations as future construction projects develop.
  • Work in construction areas that may involve construction equipment, industrial machinery, elevated noise levels, and varying environmental conditions.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience supporting data center construction, hyperscale facilities, or other mission-critical infrastructure projects.
  • Previous experience as a Resident Engineer, Owner's Representative, Mechanical Construction Engineer, or Mechanical Quality Assurance Engineer.
  • Familiarity with critical cooling systems, including computer room air handlers (CRAH), computer room air conditioners (CRAC), chillers, liquid cooling systems, and redundant mechanical configurations.
  • Experience with mechanical commissioning, ASHRAE Guideline 0, integrated systems testing, and large-scale construction projects.
  • An active Professional Engineer (PE) license in New Jersey or another applicable state, and/or OSHA 30-Hour Construction certification.

About the Company

DataOne

Operates AI-focused, giga-scale data centers

DataOne builds and runs giga-scale data centers called AI Factories designed for high-density AI workloads. It provides end-to-end, build-to-suit infrastructure for large tech firms to train and operate power-intensive AI models, with on-site development and management of the facilities. The data centers use specialized, liquid-cooled systems that support 60–250 kW per rack and are paired with renewable energy, on-site power generation via fuel cells, closed-loop water cooling, and heat recycling to pursue net-zero consumption. DataOne differentiates itself through AI-specific, high-density infrastructure and sustainability-focused design, backed by BSO with an aim to expand Europe and the United States, including a 400MW Europe campus plan and a 350MW U.S. facility, targeting large-scale GPU hosting and hyperscale computing for enterprise AI needs.
