- Lead and manage MEP design and delivery activities across data centre and critical infrastructure projects
- Oversee the full project lifecycle from concept development, detailed design, execution, commissioning, and handover
- Develop and coordinate technical solutions for electrical and mechanical building services systems
- Manage electrical power systems, including MV/LV distribution, UPS systems (N+1, 2N, 2N+1 architectures), and backup power generation (diesel generators)
- Oversee design and delivery of cooling and HVAC systems, including CRAC/CRAH units, chilled water systems, and DX cooling
- Support advanced cooling strategies such as liquid cooling concepts, rear-door heat exchangers, and hot/cold aisle containment
- Ensure system redundancy, resilience, and fault-tolerant design principles are implemented across all projects
- Manage building automation and monitoring systems, including BMS, DCIM, and SCADA integration
- Lead and support commissioning activities (Level 1–5), integrated systems testing (IST), factory and site acceptance testing, and load testing
- Coordinate with commissioning specialists, contractors, and technical teams to ensure full system validation and performance
- Ensure compliance with relevant industry standards and guidelines, including Uptime Institute Tier standards and ISO standards
- Manage project cost, schedule, quality, and risk, ensuring timely delivery and issue resolution
