Sustainable Data Center Design Manager

Job Title: Sustainable Data Center Design Manager

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Sustainable Data Center Design Manager to lead sustainability-driven design initiatives across our data center construction projects and engineering design.

About the Role:

The focus of this role is on embedding sustainability into data center design, ensuring that projects integrate onsite renewables, energy-efficiency strategies, low-carbon materials, water-conservation measures, and alternative refrigerants.

Responsibilities:

• Act as the bridge between corporate sustainability goals and data center design execution, ensuring that high-level sustainability objectives translate into practical, technically sound design solutions.

• Collaboration & Technical Leadership – Partner with MEP engineers, architects, sustainability consultants, and construction teams to integrate sustainable solutions into data center designs, ensuring alignment with engineering specifications and sustainability objectives.

• Energy Efficiency Design – Lead efforts to optimize energy efficiency, integrating technologies like AI-driven predictive modeling, automated energy management systems, and smart grid capabilities for operational savings.

• Onsite Renewables Evaluation – Evaluate and, where feasible, implement solar PV, wind energy, and battery storage systems, analyzing their technical, financial, and environmental impacts.

• Grid Interactivity & Demand Response – Design data centers with a focus on energy resilience, including peak shaving, demand response, and microgrid capabilities that support the local grid.

• Lifecycle Carbon Analysis – Conduct carbon lifecycle assessments of design options, helping to identify and implement strategies that reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions.

• Water Conservation Design – Develop water-efficient systems, integrating renewable-powered cooling technologies and exploring innovative solutions like rainwater harvesting and closed-loop water systems.

• Sustainable Materials & Construction – Recommend the use of sustainable, low-carbon building materials and ensure compliance with green building standards such as LEED.

• Alternative Refrigerants – Implement and advocate for low-GWP refrigerants and other sustainable HVAC solutions that reduce the environmental impact of data center cooling.

• AI & Automation in Design – Utilize AI tools and automation technologies to optimize building designs for energy efficiency, water conservation, and operational flexibility.

• Sustainability Certifications – Ensure designs meet or exceed the requirements for certifications like LEED, WELL, ENERGY STAR, and other green building standards.

• Construction Oversight – Oversee the construction and commissioning of sustainable design elements, ensuring compliance with both design specifications and sustainability targets.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Renewable Energy, Sustainability, or related field.

• 5+ years in data center design, renewable energy integration, or energy infrastructure development.

• Demonstrated expertise and strong knowledge of sustainable energy technologies, including solar PV, wind, battery storage, microgrid integration, energy efficiency systems, water conservation, and grid interactivity.

• Experience in applying financial analysis to energy projects, including cost justification, Return on Investment (ROI) analysis, and knowledge of relevant incentive programs for renewable energy and sustainability initiatives.

• Proven ability to manage the implementation of sustainable solutions from the design phase through construction and commissioning.

• Ability to effectively communicate and present complex technical and financial analyses to diverse audiences, including executives, engineering teams, and regulatory agencies.
