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
