SME- Data Center

About the Role:

The Subject Matter Expert (SME) Data Centres will provide strategic technical expertise and leadership in the design and execution of data centre projects. The role involves collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering teams to deliver world-class, efficient, and sustainable data centre solutions aligned with client objectives and industry standards.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the design and engineering of data centre projects from concept through detailed design and commissioning.

• Provide subject matter expertise in areas including architecture, MEP systems, electrical distribution, cooling systems, controls, and redundancy planning.

• Ensure compliance with global data centre standards such as Uptime Institute, ASHRAE, BICSI, and TIA-942.

• Collaborate closely with project managers, architects, and discipline leads to optimize performance, cost, and schedule.

• Drive innovation in energy efficiency, sustainability, and operational resilience in data centre design.

• Evaluate and recommend technologies for power, cooling, and monitoring systems.

• Provide peer review and technical validation for engineering deliverables.

• Support business development teams with technical inputs, proposals, and client presentations.

• Mentor and guide design engineers to strengthen in-house data centre expertise.

• Interface with clients to understand requirements, present design concepts, and ensure technical alignment throughout project stages.

Required Qualifications and Experience:

• Bachelor s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or related Engineering discipline (Master s degree preferred).

• 25+ years of experience in data centre design, engineering, or commissioning within a consulting or EPC environment.

• Proven experience in Tier III or Tier IV data centre projects (concept to handover).

• In-depth understanding of electrical systems (UPS, switchgear, generator, PDU), mechanical systems (CRAC/CRAH, chiller, cooling towers), and integration of control and monitoring systems (BMS, EPMS).

• Strong knowledge of applicable codes and standards (NFPA, ASHRAE, IEEE, ISO, Uptime Institute).

• Excellent communication and coordination skills for working with multidisciplinary teams and clients.

• Certifications such as Uptime Institute Accredited Tier Designer (ATD), Certified Data Centre Professional (CDCP), or similar will be an advantage.
