Overview
Ref:
Senior / Lead / Principal Civil Engineer / remote with travel – 80/20 split
Incredible opportunity to join a rapidly scaling company as a senior/lead/principal Civil Engineer to act as Owner’s Engineer and Civil/Structural Authority for hyperscale AI/HPC data centre campuses. This role owns everything from raw land development and heavy-haul infrastructure to foundations, building shell, and superstructure, defining the civil and structural standards that enable mission‑critical compute at scale in remote, high‑wind West Texas environments.
You will author the Civil & Structural Standard, ensure EPCM partners deliver buildable, MEP‑ready designs, and solve complex geotechnical, logistics, and infrastructure‑autonomy challenges on “broken ground.”
Role Responsibilities
Responsibilities will include:
Defining and publishing Civil & Structural Basis of Design (BOD) for AI data centre campuses
Engineering grading, drainage, heavy‑haul roads, and mass earthwork
Designing and overseeing foundations and slabs for extreme loads (compute blocks, transformers, cooling systems)
Owning building shell and superstructure standards (PEMB, steel, precast, hybrid)
Specifying performance criteria: loads, deflection, drift, vibration, roof uplift, envelope integrity
Designing on‑site wastewater and sewer systems (no municipal utilities)
Acting as Owner’s Engineer reviewing EPCM designs, geotech, hydrology, and submittals
Ensuring flawless MEP integration (penetrations, embeds, supports, rigging paths)
Providing field engineering leadership during excavation, foundations, and structural works
Person Specification
Essential skills will include:
5+ years in land development, heavy industrial, or data center projects
Strong expertise in:
Grading, drainage, hydrology, SWPPP
Foundation design for heavy industrial loads
Reviewing geotechnical reports and structural calcs
Working fluency in IBC, ASCE 7, ACI 318, AISC 360, FM/insurance requirements
Experience with PEMB, structural steel, precast, modular systems
Ability to act as Owner’s Engineer / Design Manager
Comfortable reviewing Civil 3D models and EPCM deliverables
Willingness to be a “muddy boots” field engineer
This is a very exciting opportunity for a senior civil engineer who can turn raw West Texas land into hyperscale‑ready AI data centre campuses, owning everything from dirt and roads to foundations and building shells, while setting the structural standards that protect billions of dollars of compute.
