Data Center Field Engineer

About The Role

Do you take pride in ensuring that mission-critical infrastructure is delivered accurately, documented correctly, and ready for commissioning? We’re looking for a Data Center Field Engineer / Project Engineer to support hyperscale data center construction projects through detailed coordination, documentation control, and field execution support. In this role, you’ll provide both technical and administrative support to Site Project Managers and field teams. You’ll play a critical role in managing RFIs, submittals, redlines, as-builts, testing documentation, and turnover deliverables—ensuring alignment with client standards, commissioning readiness, and key milestones such as Infra Ready for Commissioning (Cx) and MMR turnover. This position offers a strong growth path toward Project Manager roles while building deep expertise in hyperscale data center delivery.

What You’ll Do

• Coverage of Technical and Administrative Gaps: Support Site Project Managers and Senior Project Managers by bridging technical and administrative gaps on active hyperscale data center projects, with daily field presence to resolve issues and support Foremen and crews.
• Documentation Control: Manage RFIs, submittals, redlines, as-builts, and field documentation to ensure accuracy, timely responses, and alignment with design, client standards, and commissioning requirements.
• Conflict Resolution: Identify and escalate design conflicts, constructability issues, and scope discrepancies early to avoid schedule, cost, or quality impacts.
• Coordination: Coordinate quality inspections, punch walks, and commissioning readiness activities, including tracking and validating test results and Infra Ready for Cx deliverables.
• Client Interface: Interface with client engineers and construction representatives, providing clear updates on documentation status, testing progress, and milestone readiness.
• Progress Tracking: Track installation progress, material alignment, and field changes in coordination with Foremen, supply chain, QA/QC, and documentation teams.
• Cost Control: Support cost control, forecasting, billing, and change order development by validating quantities, labor impacts, and documentation accuracy.
• Leverage Resources: Leverage engineering, BIM/VDC, PMO, and preconstruction resources to close technical gaps, support turnover, and feed lessons learned back into enterprise systems.

Requirements

• Strong understanding of data center construction workflows and documentation control.
• Experience supporting RFIs, submittals, redlines, as-builts, and turnover documentation.
• Familiarity with commissioning processes and milestone-driven delivery models.
• Ability to interpret construction drawings, specifications, and Division 27/28 systems.
• Strong organizational skills with high attention to detail and accuracy.
• Clear, professional communication skills with field teams and client stakeholders.
• Desire to grow into project management and leadership roles.

What’s in It for You?

• Mission-Critical Impact: Contribute to hyperscale data center projects that power global technology and infrastructure.
• Career Growth: Build a clear path toward Project Engineer and Project Manager roles through hands-on project exposure.
• Team Collaboration: Work alongside experienced project managers, field engineers, foremen, and commissioning teams.
• Client Interaction: Gain exposure to client engineers and construction leadership in high-visibility environments.
• Competitive Pay & Benefits: Compensation aligned with experience, skills, and growth potential.

Work Environment

• This is a hands-on, technical role with time spent both in the field and supporting project documentation.
• Work is performed in active data center construction environments and may include walking job sites, climbing ladders, lifting up to 40 lbs, and extended periods of computer work.
• Reasonable accommodations are available for individuals with disabilities.
