Head -Solutions & Design-Data Center-Pre Sales-EPC

As a Solutioning & Pre-Sales Support Lead, you will be responsible for leading the technical pre-sales process for new data center projects. This includes designing solutions, conducting capacity planning, feasibility analysis, and generating proposals. You will be translating client requirements into optimized technical solutions, considering factors such as IT load, tier level, compliance, scalability, and sustainability. Conducting site surveys, gap analysis, and risk assessments will be essential in building tailored design proposals. In terms of client engagement, you will act as a trusted advisor to customers on technical aspects, future-proof design, and industry best practices. Your role will involve participating in client meetings and technical negotiations to secure business, as well as coordinating with BD teams to ensure alignment of the solution with the commercial strategy. Design governance will be a crucial aspect of your responsibilities, where you will drive high-level design architecture (electrical, mechanical, civil, IT systems) and validate them against company standards and global best practices. Guiding internal/external design consultants in preparing preliminary and detailed designs, ensuring cost-efficiency and buildability, will also be part of your tasks. Reviewing BOQs, design schematics, and layouts prior to proposal submission is essential. You will collaborate cross-functionally with construction, operations, procurement, and project management teams to validate solution feasibility and cost. Engaging with OEMs, technology partners, and vendors to integrate the latest products/solutions into the design will also be required. Leading and managing the Solution Design team, ensuring clear roles, responsibilities, and timely delivery of outputs, falls under your leadership and coordination responsibilities. You will coordinate with the Detailed Engineering function to ensure a smooth handover of designs and alignment between preliminary and detailed engineering phases. Staying current on emerging technologies, energy efficiency practices, modular designs, and international data center trends is crucial for market intelligence and innovation. Bringing innovation to the solutioning approach, including modular, prefabricated, high density, or edge data center concepts, will be expected from you. The ideal candidate for this role should have 15+ years of experience in Data Center Design, Pre-Sales, or Engineering Solutions, preferably with EPC firms, design consultants, or global colocation providers.,
