MEP Data Center Lead

About the Company
I'm partnering with a venture-backed infrastructure developer focused on solving one of the biggest bottlenecks facing AI growth today: the lack of power-ready data center capacity.
The company is developing large-scale AI data center campuses from site acquisition through delivery, combining power infrastructure, site development, and mission-critical engineering under one platform. Their approach is designed to significantly accelerate the timeline required to bring new AI capacity online, allowing end users to deploy compute faster than traditional development models.
Founded by a team of successful technology and infrastructure entrepreneurs with multiple exits and decades of experience across power, data centers, investment, and real estate development, the business is backed by leading investors and is assembling a world-class team of engineering, development, and construction leaders.
With demand for AI infrastructure continuing to outpace available capacity, the company is positioned at the center of one of the fastest-growing sectors in the industry and is actively building the engineering leadership team that will define its long-term technical standards.
About the Role
As the MEP Lead, you will serve as the technical authority for mission-critical design across a growing portfolio of AI-focused data center developments.
Reporting directly to company leadership, you'll own engineering standards, design strategy, technical reviews, and commissioning requirements across projects from early site evaluation through operational turnover.
This role is ideal for someone who wants to move beyond individual project execution and help establish the technical foundation of a rapidly growing platform dedicated exclusively to next-generation AI infrastructure.

Lead commissioning and integrated systems testing standards
Support technical site due diligence and feasibility reviews
Partner closely with development, power, and construction teams
What We're Looking For
8+ years of mission-critical or data center engineering experience
Mechanical or Electrical Engineering background
Experience designing or delivering hyperscale, colocation, HPC, or AI-focused facilities
Strong knowledge of power distribution, redundancy strategies, and critical systems
Experience with liquid cooling, direct-to-chip cooling, CDUs, or other high-density cooling technologies
Ability to lead technical decision-making across multiple stakeholders and projects
Why This Opportunity?
Join a company at the forefront of AI infrastructure development
