About the Role

Step into one of Australia’s most secure, high-performance Data Centres and launch your engineering career supporting mission-critical infrastructure for cloud, defence and enterprise customers. This is an opportunity to play a pivotal role in the design and delivery of some of Australia’s most advanced, high-performance data centre infrastructure.

Responsibilities

• Lead the engineering and technical design of Macquarie Data Centres’ (MDC) data centre projects, delivering innovative, scalable, resilient and compliant solutions for hyperscale and high-density colocation customers.
• Own the design outcome across the full project lifecycle — from feasibility and due diligence, through concept and detailed design, to issued-for-construction documentation, construction support, commissioning and handover.
• Lead and coordinate multidisciplinary internal teams and external engineering consultants, ensuring complex designs are integrated, buildable, commercially sound and delivered to the highest technical standards.
• Drive Advanced Engineering, Safety in Design, buildability, prefabrication and modularisation.
• Develop standardised design approaches, optimise long-lead and free-issue equipment, embed lessons learned and drive sustainability, reliability and commercial value.
• Influence design standards, reference designs, prefabrication and modularisation strategies and the way MDC delivers complex mission-critical infrastructure at scale with the newest technology.
• Work alongside highly experienced engineering, construction, commercial, procurement and operations professionals.
• Engage directly with specialist equipment manufacturers, authorities, utilities and hyperscale and colocation customers.

Requirements

• 8–10+ years’ engineering and design experience, including at least 5 years in data centre or mission-critical environments.
• Proven experience leading multidisciplinary design across major, complex or fast-tracked projects.
• Experience managing external engineering consultants and design deliverables from concept through to IFC, construction, as-built and handover.
• Strong technical understanding across critical data centre services including HV/LV, standby power, UPS, mechanical/cooling, fire, hydraulic, BMS/EPMS, as well as civil, structural and architectural interfaces.
• Experience working client-side, for a data centre operator, hyperscaler, engineering consultancy or similar environment.
• Strong understanding of data centre design frameworks including Uptime Institute Tier, TIA-942, NCC/BCA and relevant AS/NZS Standards.
• Experience with BIM and digital design tools.
• A strong understanding of buildability, value engineering, cost, program and supply-chain considerations.
• A genuine commitment to Safety in Design, quality and technical assurance.
• The ability to influence and challenge consultants and stakeholders while building strong relationships across engineering, construction, procurement, commercial, operations and customer teams.
• A continuous-improvement mindset, with an interest in innovation, sustainability, energy efficiency, PUE and NABERS for Data Centres.
