AECOM is looking for a talented Structural Engineer specializing in hyperscale and colocation data center facility design to enhance our expanding Data Center practice. The successful candidate will possess exceptional technical skills in designing large-scale concrete and steel structures, along with a proven history of delivering rapid-paced technology and industrial projects. We value individuals who are committed to advancing low carbon and resilient design strategies.

This position offers the convenience of a remote work schedule and can be executed from various locations across the U. S. where AECOM maintains an office.

In this role, you will collaborate with our international teams on prestigious, fast-paced data center projects for global clients. This is a client-facing, hands-on position offering significant opportunities for career advancement.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Conduct structural design and analysis for multiple data center facilities, including hyperscale and colocation types.
  • Create design documentation for tilt-up concrete panels, precast structures, steel framing systems, and deep and shallow foundations.
  • Coordinate design deliverables with architectural, civil, MEP, and construction teams to ensure alignment with project goals and client standards.
  • Prepare construction documents, specifications, and calculations, ensuring technical excellence and compliance with codes.
  • Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior engineers and designers.
  • Engage with clients, contractors, and review authorities to resolve technical inquiries and clarify designs.
  • Assist in business development, proposal writing, and conceptual structural design for new projects.
  • Travel as necessary for project-related activities including client meetings and site visits.
