Key Responsibilities

•       Review and interpret MEP design drawings, specifications, and engineering calculations for constructability and code compliance

•       Provide field engineering support to resolve clashes, coordination issues, and design discrepancies between mechanical, electrical, and plumbing trades

•       Support BIM coordination efforts to ensure accurate 3D model-to-field alignment for critical infrastructure systems

•       Review and process MEP submittals, RFIs, and shop drawings to maintain design intent and project specifications

•       Monitor installation of critical power systems (medium voltage switchgear, transformers, UPS, generators, PDUs, busway) for specification compliance

•       Monitor installation of mechanical cooling systems (chilled water plants, CRAH/CRAC units, cooling towers, piping) for specification compliance

•       Coordinate with fire protection, plumbing, and controls subcontractors to ensure integrated system performance

•       Assist QA/QC and commissioning teams with technical review of test procedures, punch items, and system deficiency resolution

•       Track and manage MEP engineering change notices and as-built documentation throughout construction

•       Participate in design review meetings, constructability reviews, and value engineering sessions with the project team

Qualifications & Requirements

•       2+ years of MEP engineering experience on mission critical data center construction or battery/energy storage plant construction

•       Prior hyperscale data center experience strongly preferred (AWS, Oracle, Meta, Microsoft, Google)

•       Strong technical knowledge of electrical power distribution, HVAC/cooling systems, plumbing, and fire protection in mission critical facilities

•       Understanding of Tier 1 through Tier 5 data center redundancy architectures (N, N+1, 2N, 2N+1 configurations)

•       Proficiency in reading and interpreting complex MEP drawings, single line diagrams, P&IDs, and control schematics

•       Experience with BIM/Revit coordination and clash detection workflows in large scale construction environments

•       Familiarity with NEC, ASHRAE, NFPA, IMC, and IPC codes as applied to mission critical facilities

•       Working knowledge of building automation systems (BMS), electrical power monitoring systems (EPMS), and controls integration

•       Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field preferred (equivalent experience considered)

•       EIT or PE licensure is a plus

•       OSHA 30 certification required

•       Able to work on site full time in Abilene, TX

Why This Opportunity

•       Work on the Oracle Stargate Project, one of the largest and most advanced hyperscale data center builds in the US

•       Career defining project with massive scale, cutting edge infrastructure, and national visibility

•       Collaborate with top tier general contractors, engineering firms, and technology companies

•       Competitive compensation package with per diem and relocation support available

•       Fast track career growth in the highest demand sector of commercial construction
