Data Center Constructability Engineer

About the Role 

Armada is hiring a Data Center Constructability Engineer to support the Galleon and Leviathan product lines — a brand-new capability for the company. As we scale Modular Data Center (MDC) deployments across a growing number of sites and geographies, we need someone who can own the constructability thread that runs from early site due diligence and design review through pre-construction planning, fabrication, installation, and commissioning, and make sure what gets designed can actually be built, on schedule, everywhere we operate.

You will review Leviathan/Galleon MDC and site designs for buildability, validate deployment methodologies (crane and access, sequencing, tolerances, and fit-up) before they're locked in, and build the standardized, repeatable construction playbooks that turn site execution into a repeatable process instead of a one-off plan per site. You'll also be the constructability point of contact linking Armada's product and engineering teams with fabricators, general contractors, and local delivery partners, supporting pre-construction planning and reviewing design packages and shop drawings to make sure what's designed matches how it will actually be built in the field.

What You'll Do (Key Responsibilities)

• Constructability review & product feedback loop — Review Leviathan/Galleon MDC and site designs (civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, piping, controls, ICT, IT) at each stage gate and feed constructability input directly into product development — modularity, transport and lifting constraints, ISO container/skid interfaces, installation sequencing, and commissioning strategy — catching buildability issues while they are still cheap to fix, before they are locked into issued-for-construction drawings.

• Deployment methodology validation & site-specific risk assessment — Validate deployment methodologies for Leviathan across candidate and active sites worldwide (crane selection and access, laydown and site logistics, erection/installation sequencing, tolerances and fit-up), and own early constructability due diligence that flags site-specific vendor, access, or execution risk before it causes late-stage redesign or slips a deployment.

• Standardized, repeatable construction playbooks — Develop and maintain repeatable construction playbooks, sequencing plans, and methods of procedure for single-unit and campus-scale Leviathan deployments, turning site execution into a repeatable, SKU-like process instead of a one-off plan per site and region.

• Hands-on constructability analysis for new products & first-of-a-kind sites — Personally lead constructability analysis (crane/lift studies, transport and logistics modeling, installation sequencing) for new Armada products or site conditions where no vendor, GC, or prior-site precedent exists yet, establishing the buildability basis in-house before handing execution off to local contractors and fabricators.

• Pre-construction planning & cross-discipline coordination through execution — Act as the constructability point of contact linking Armada product engineering with civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, piping, controls, ICT, and IT disciplines, fabricators, and general contractors; support pre-construction planning (schedule, cost, logistics, procurement lead times) and review design packages and shop drawings for buildability, ensuring what is designed can actually be fabricated, transported, and installed as sequenced and on schedule.

• Constructability governance, documentation & readiness sign-off — Build and maintain constructability guidelines, buildability/site-readiness checklists, and review workflows by geography; track open constructability items and lessons learned across active sites; and provide the final constructability sign-off confirming a site's design and execution plan are buildable and ready to proceed to construction.efinitions.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or related field.
• 5–7 years of hands-on construction management, constructability/buildability review, or design experience on industrial, modular, or mission-critical facility projects, including direct general contractor or fabrication-yard experience.
• Working knowledge of modular/prefabricated construction methods, crane/lift and rigging planning, transport and site logistics, and means-and-methods planning across multiple codes and jurisdictions.
• Comfort operating with a high degree of autonomy — you'll be defining the playbook, not inheriting one.
• Willingness and ability to travel approximately 30–40% to project sites, fabrication facilities, and construction locations worldwide.

Preferred Qualifications

• Certification such as CCP (Certified Constructability Professional), CCM (Certified Construction Manager), or PMP.
• Prior experience with modular, prefabricated, ISO container, or skid-mounted construction methodologies, ideally for data centers or other mission-critical/industrial facilities, including international or multi-region project experience.
• Exposure to data center–specific constructability considerations: raised platform/foundation systems, equipment yard layout (generators, transformers, chillers, PEMB), and MEP/controls integration sequencing.
• Knowledge of building codes and regulations.
• Experience reading, interpreting, and creating construction drawings, specifications, and submittal documents.
• Experience building constructability review programs, buildability checklists, or governance processes for a growing team or portfolio, rather than only executing against existing ones.
• Background collaborating directly with CSA, MEP, control, ICT, and IT engineering teams, fabricators, general contractors, and local delivery partners across multiple regions or countries.
• Experience with scheduling, cost, and logistics planning tools (e.g., Primavera P6, MS Project) to support pre-construction readiness.
