• Review engineering deliverables for quality, accuracy, and compliance with project requirements and applicable standards
• Identify technical risks and develop creative, cost-effective solutions
• Improve engineering tools, standards, processes, and workflows
• Mentor and develop engineers, establish performance objectives, and support career growth
• Support the transition of awarded projects from Presales into detailed design and execution

• Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in engineering
• 5+ years of relevant engineering experience, preferably in data centers, critical infrastructure, modular construction, or related industries
• Experience leading or coordinating multidisciplinary engineering teams
