w2 contract || IT Infrastructure Facilities Engineer

About the role

Perform/validate IT heat-load calculations for MDF/IDF spaces using deployed hardware power draw (kW) and convert to BTU/hr. Ensure cooling is sized for current load + growth margin. Validate mechanical design assumptions including airflow, temperature differential, humidity control, and equipment placement to prevent hotspots. Coordinate with Facilities/mechanical vendors to ensure HVAC is installed, commissioned, and verified prior to rack & stack; document test results and readiness sign-off. Establish/verify environmental targets aligned with ASHRAE guidance for IT spaces (temperature/humidity operating range) and confirm monitoring points/sensor placement.

Responsibilities

• Manage a technology construction project from concept through completion
• Coordinate with IT industry teams including Infrastructure Compute, Infrastructure network, IT-OT, storage, TCP/IP, and common IT terminology
• Manage several physical/construction tasks simultaneously including electrical, mechanical, room construction, piping, flooring, insulation, and roofing
• Work and partner with General Contractors, electricians, mechanical technicians, carpenters, and high/low voltage wiring personnel
• Work in construction spaces: inside, outside, all weather conditions, warehouse spaces
• Work in non-conventional spaces: ladders, catwalks, conveyer belts, rooftops, and scissor lifts
• Deliver consistent results at all sites with the exact same standards
• Provide regular written updates and status reports
• Select travel when approved

Requirements

• 5+ years of relevant experience
• Bachelor's degree in Architecture, Electrical, Mechanical or 7 years relevant experience in a construction or architectural role
• Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, Project, and PowerPoint
• Deep technical expertise and proficiency with UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply), mechanical (cooling), and electrical terms and best practices
• Proficiency with electrical terms including single phase, three phase power, transformers, surge protection devices
• Proficiency with ANSI/TIA-568, TIA-569, TIA-606, J-STD-607, NFPA 70 (NEC), ASHRAE, and BICSI TDMM standards, norms and practices
• Familiarity with blueprints and design concepts
• Familiarity with electrical terms, building code, NEC and NEMA
• Experience with OSHA and workplace safety guidelines
• Proficient skills with mathematics, measurements, temperature gradients, humidity terms
• Precision and attention to detail
• Ability to deliver on tight deadlines and manage multiple deliverables
• Ability to work with several vendors competing to work in tight spaces simultaneously
• Ability to pivot and refocus on an immediate need on demand
• Proficiency with structured cabling standards: copper, fiber, and UTP
• Demonstrated experience performing cooling capacity sizing for IT rooms (MDF/IDF), including kW load planning, BTU/hr conversion, and HVAC capacity validation (tons)
• Working knowledge of airflow management best practices (hot/cold aisle concepts, blanking panels, cable management to reduce airflow blockage)
• Ability to interpret technical proposals and validate against IT load requirements

Preferred qualifications

• ISO 9001 qualification
• Experience with critical facilities environments (UPS, Generator/ATS, power redundancy)
