## About the role

### Structural & Architectural Design Engineer

#### About the role

We are hiring a **Structural & Architectural Design Engineer** 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.

#### Role description

The **Structural & Architectural Design Engineer** is responsible for the **structural and architectural design** of the company's **data center facilities**. The role covers **building envelope, internal layout, structural load-bearing design, and life-safety/lighting considerations**, ensuring the facility supports **high-density AI GPU compute with liquid cooling** while meeting local building codes, facility resilience standards, and operational/security requirements for a data center environment.

#### Responsibilities

- Design building envelope elements: exterior walls, façade, roofing systems, and thermal/moisture insulation appropriate for a data center environment

- Design internal partitioning and space planning: white space vs. gray space separation, security zoning, fire compartmentalization, corridors, and access control layout

- Perform structural load calculations for raised floors, POD racking areas, and rooftop-mounted mechanical equipment (coolers, pump skids)

- Calculate floor loading capacity for IT racks including high-density liquid-cooled racks and CDU placement zones

- Design tunnel works and technological infrastructure pathways (cable trays, piping routes)

- Develop lighting design for white space, gray space, office areas, and exterior/security lighting, per data center operational standards

- Coordinate structural and architectural drawings with the MEP team (equipment loads, ceiling heights, clearances for cooling piping and electrical distribution)

- Review architectural/structural sections of design-build packages, flag risks, inconsistencies, and value engineering opportunities

- Ensure compliance with local building codes, fire safety regulations, and facility resilience requirements

- Coordinate with local authorities on permitting matters related to structural and architectural design

- Support space planning for future data center scalability

#### Required experience

- 5+ years of structural and/or architectural design experience, with direct, clearly documented data center project experience

- Demonstrated full architectural scope: building envelope, internal layouts, fire/security zoning — not only structural calculation work

- A track record at a senior, independent-ownership level (not an assistant/support role) — able to take end-to-end responsibility on a core design team

- Proficiency with AutoCAD and/or Revit, plus at least one structural calculation package (Tekla Structures, Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis, IDEA StatiCa, or Dlubal RFEM)

- Experience coordinating multidisciplinary design (structural/architectural/MEP interfaces)

- English proficiency sufficient for international project documentation

#### Nice to Have

- Working knowledge of local building codes and permitting processes

- Experience with Tier III/IV data center design standards

- Familiarity with modular/POD-based data center construction

- Experience designing for high-density liquid-cooled IT environments

- Polish language skills

- Experience on greenfield/brownfield construction-phase projects
