## About the role

#### Head of DC Infrastructure

#### About the role

We are hiring a **Head of DC Infrastructure** for our client — a company building a large-scale AI data center (with a planned capacity of **300 MW**) in Poland, on a site currently undergoing active reconstruction into modern technological infrastructure. The first phase, with a capacity of **50 MW**, is planned to go live this year. This role requires **regular business trips to the construction site in Poland** (full relocation is not required).

#### Role description

The **Head of DC Infrastructure** builds and leads the **on-site engineering team** responsible for the MEP systems (cooling, power, UPS, generators) that keep the data center running. This role owns **day-to-day reliability** of the facility's physical infrastructure post-handover — from preventive maintenance and incident response to commissioning support for new capacity expansions — ensuring MEP systems perform to design intent throughout the facility's operational life.

#### Responsibilities

- Build and lead the on-site engineering team responsible for MEP systems (cooling, power, UPS, generators)

- Own day-to-day reliability and performance of all MEP systems at the site

- Develop and maintain SOPs/MOPs/EOPs for cooling and electrical operations, aligned with facility standards

- Lead incident response and root-cause analysis for MEP-related outages or failures

- Own the preventive maintenance program and schedules across cooling and electrical systems

- Coordinate maintenance windows and redundancy switching to minimize IT service impact

- Manage vendor/contractor relationships for MEP maintenance and warranty service, in coordination with other teams

- Support commissioning of new MEP infrastructure and expansions (FAT/SAT, handover from construction)

- Ensure compliance with safety protocols and manufacturer/regulatory requirements

- Manage on-call rotation and emergency response coverage for engineering staff

#### Required experience

- 7+ years of hands-on data center facilities/MEP engineering experience, with 3+ years in a leadership role already owning a full-scale DC Infrastructure/Operations function — this is a Head-level position, not a stepping stone into one

- Demonstrated experience operating and maintaining mechanical and electrical systems (cooling, UPS, generators, switchgear) specifically in a data center environment

- Hands-on experience developing SOPs/MOPs/EOPs for critical facility operations

- Proven track record leading incident response and root-cause analysis for MEP outages

- Experience managing preventive maintenance programs and vendor/contractor relationships

- Experience supporting or leading FAT/SAT and commissioning handover for MEP infrastructure

- Experience building and managing on-call/shift rotations for 24/7 facility coverage

- English proficiency sufficient for international vendor and technical communication

- Willingness to travel regularly to the construction/operations site in Poland

#### Nice to Have

- Experience with high-density liquid-cooled (DLC) infrastructure and CDU operations (traditional HVAC/air-cooling background is fully acceptable)

- Uptime Institute or EPI certification

- Experience managing MEP teams across multiple sites

- Background transitioning facilities from construction/commissioning into steady-state operations
