We are seeking an experienced Technical Team Leader to lead the MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) technical team for rapidly expanding data center projects. The candidate must have a solid background in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering and proven technical leadership experience in data centers or mission-critical facilities. Key focus areas include engineering delivery, team management, and technical oversight of critical equipment such as UPS, precision air conditioning (In-Row / Wind Wall Cooling), power modules, etc., ensuring high availability, energy efficiency, and compliance with Tier standards, ASHRAE guidelines, and other relevant norms.
【Key Responsibilities】
- Lead a team of 5–12 technical staff (MEP engineers, designers, site coordinators, technicians), including task assignment, progress tracking, technical guidance, performance evaluation, and skills training.
- Oversee design review, optimization, construction coordination, and change management for data center MEP systems.
- Provide technical governance and fault analysis for critical equipment, including:
o UPS Systems (modular UPS, battery management systems, redundancy architectures, static/dynamic bypass, maintenance strategies)
o Precision Air Conditioning Systems (In-Row / Wind Wall Cooling, CRAC/CRAH, chilled/hot water loops, airflow management, liquid cooling assistance, etc.)
o Power Modules and Distribution Systems (PDU, intelligent PDU, ATS, switchgear, busway, power integration and monitoring)
- Independently review and guide the preparation of MEP drawings (single-line diagrams, equipment layouts, coordination drawings, schematics, as-built drawings, etc.).
- Participate in technical clarification meetings, coordinate with clients, consultants, main contractors, and vendors to resolve on-site technical issues.
- Support project commissioning (Level 1–5), integrated testing, performance verification, and final handover.
- Ensure team compliance with safety regulations, quality standards, and data center-specific codes (e.g., Uptime Institute Tier III/IV, ASHRAE TC9.9, BCx standards).
- Prepare technical reports, risk assessments, change proposals, and lessons learned documentation.
【Job Requirements】
【Education】:Bachelor’s degree or above in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, MEP/Building Services Engineering, or related fields.
【Experience】:
- Minimum 8–12 years of relevant MEP engineering experience.
- At least 2+ years in a technical leadership / team management role within data center projects (Hyperscale / Colocation / Enterprise) or similar mission-critical facilities (preference for candidates with strong technical depth over pure site execution or O&M experience).
- Must have full-cycle involvement in data center MEP projects (new build / expansion / retrofit; Tier III or above preferred).
【Core Technical Skills】
- In-depth knowledge of UPS system principles, selection, redundancy design, battery management, and common fault diagnosis.
- Familiarity with precision air conditioning systems (especially In-Row / wind wall type), including principles, selection, airflow organization, energy efficiency optimization, and liquid cooling trends.
- Understanding of power modules and medium/low-voltage distribution systems, including configuration, integration, monitoring, and coordination.
- Proficient in AutoCAD for reviewing and guiding MEP drawing preparation (Revit, Navisworks, BIM experience preferred).
【Leadership & Soft Skills】
- Proven experience directly managing 5+ technical/engineering team members, with cross-functional/cross-company coordination experience.
- Excellent English communication skills; able to independently draft technical documents and lead/participate in English technical meetings.
- Strong problem-solving ability and capability to make quick decisions in high-pressure, fast-paced project environments.
【Software Tools】
- AutoCAD (mandatory).
- Revit, Navisworks, BIM 360, or similar BIM tools (preferred).
【Preferred Qualifications】
- Professional Engineer registration (P.Eng / BEM) or equivalent certification.
- Experience in hyperscale data center projects (Google, AWS, Microsoft, Equinix, NTT, STT, AirTrunk, YTL, Bridge, etc.).
- Familiarity with data center commissioning processes, Uptime Tier certification, or LEED/green building standards.
- Experience in Root Cause Analysis, fault diagnosis, and energy efficiency optimization.
