• Compliance: Ensure all mechanical systems adhere to local codes, regulations, and industry best practices.
• Package Design & Integration: Define technical specifications for modular infrastructure, including containerized power rooms, cooling skids, and integrated rack suites.
• Vendor Management: Act as the primary technical point of contact for external vendors, overseeing the end-to-end delivery of equipment from initial design to Factory Acceptance Testing.
• Quality & Compliance: Ensure all packages meet stringent reliability, safety, and sustainability standards, while complying with local building codes and global datacenter benchmarks.
• Commissioning Support: Collaborate with field teams to oversee the onsite integration and commissioning of special packages, ensuring seamless connectivity with the Building Management System (BMS).
• Performance Optimization: Conduct root-cause analysis on package failures and drive design improvements to enhance Energy Usage Effectiveness (PUE)
