Imagine the ultimate destination for those who want to work at the cutting edge of technology, energy, and infrastructure. Hut 8 is on a mission to build and operate some of the world’s largest data centers for next-generation computing workloads, including AI, Colocation, Cloud, and Bitcoin Mining. We are proud to offer interesting and challenging opportunities for individuals who want to build teams, solve problems, and make an impact from day one. If you’re an ambitious individual looking for a career that is as rewarding as it is challenging, you’ve come to the right place.

About the Role

~1 min read

The Mechanical Systems Expert is Managed Services' expert embedded in a data center build - supporting design review and commissioning to ensure cooling systems are operable and maintainable at turnover. Every design decision eventually becomes someone's 3 a.m. problem; this role reviews the design and witnesses the testing on behalf of that person.

Responsibilities

~1 min read

Review mechanical and cooling designs - chilled water plants, air and liquid cooling systems, CDUs, CRAHs, heat rejection, water treatment - through an operations lens: maintenance access and laydown, isolation and redundancy behavior, degraded-mode operation, instrumentation adequacy, and failure-mode consequences. File review comments that change designs, not just document concerns.

Walk mechanical installations at key milestones: pipe routing and support, valve access, equipment clearances, insulation quality, and cleanliness/flushing protocol compliance - catching operability problems while they're still cheap to fix.

Witness Level 3-5 commissioning of mechanical systems: functional performance tests, staging and failover sequences, failure scenarios, and integrated systems testing. Drive operational issues into the Cx log with clear acceptance criteria and verify closure personally.

Verify mechanical turnover packages: O&Ms, as-builts, valve tags and system labeling, water treatment baselines, spare parts and consumables lists, and PM program inputs (frequencies, procedures, vendor contacts). Validate training actually equips operators to run the plant.

Support early operations stabilization post-turnover: alarm tuning input, setpoint refinement, and first-months troubleshooting alongside the operations team.

Feed operational lessons into Hut 8 mechanical design standards and the next project's basis of design.

 

-      What we're looking for:

- 8+ years in critical facilities mechanical operations, commissioning, or chief-engineer-track roles.

- Deep hands-on knowledge of chilled water plants, hydronic systems, and data center cooling topologies - air-cooled, water-cooled, and liquid/direct-to-chip.

- Level 1-5 commissioning fluency from the witness/operations side, including integrated systems testing.

- Sharp eye for maintainability in design reviews: access, isolation, and instrumentation gaps.

- Turnover documentation rigor - you read the O&M before signing for it.

- Comfortable embedded with a construction team while holding the operations line.

- Water treatment and cleanliness protocol experience for critical hydronic systems.

- CFC/EPA certifications, trade licensure, or engineering degree all welcome paths.

 

- Full time on-site role.

Hut 8 offers a benefits and wellness program that includes medical, dental, vision, life, and short-term and long-term disability insurance, as well as paid time off. We are proud to invest in building the best team in the industry. At all levels of the organization, we are driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, radical transparency, and relentless growth mentality.

At Hut 8, you will have the opportunity to:

▶ Work with bright, driven peers from a range of educational and professional backgrounds including software development, energy, engineering, entrepreneurship, investment banking, private equity, and management consulting

▶ Design and pitch new products, services, and other initiatives to a leadership team consisting of serial entrepreneurs and seasoned executives and backed by a board of directors consisting of industry veterans of energy, finance, and government

▶ Debate ideas and alternatives in a truly meritocratic setting where the learning curve is steep and the lessons come from both senior and junior members of the team

▶ Build a lifelong network of friends and professional connections at the cutting-edge intersection of technology, energy, and infrastructure
