Job Description
Align offers a wide variety of services centered around the data center white space.
Requirements
- The successful candidate is a practical, field-oriented subject matter expert who understands how liquid cooling systems work and how to coordinate, build, test, commission, and turn them over in mission-critical environments. The candidate must communicate effectively in design meetings, submittal reviews, field inspections, commissioning activities, and client discussions while driving technical issues toward practical resolution.
- 7+ years of project, construction, or technical management experience in data centers, mission-critical facilities, mechanical construction, or MEP construction.
- Demonstrated experience managing liquid cooling projects in hyperscale, AI, or other high-density data centers.
- Practical knowledge of direct-to-chip cooling, rear-door heat exchangers, CDUs, manifolds, piping, pumps, heat exchangers, filtration, controls, and related systems.
- Experience overseeing installation, filling, flushing, filtration, pressure and leak testing, commissioning, and turnover.
- Ability to interpret mechanical drawings, specifications, submittals, schematics, and construction documents and identify constructability issues.
- Experience coordinating subcontractors, manufacturers, commissioning agents, and other trades.
- Strong understanding of data center white-space construction and the relationship between cooling systems and IT infrastructure.
- Strong project management skills across scope, schedule, budget, risk, quality, documentation, and subcontractor performance.
- Willingness and ability to travel approximately 50% throughout the United States.
- Experience with hyperscale, AI, NVIDIA GPU, or other high-density compute environments.
- Experience with CDUs, liquid-to-liquid heat exchangers, facility water systems, secondary cooling loops, rack manifolds, quick disconnects, direct-to-chip distribution, rear-door heat exchangers, and technology cooling loops.
- Experience with liquid cooling commissioning and integrated systems testing.
- Experience with a data center general contractor, mechanical or MEP contractor, equipment manufacturer, or specialty liquid cooling contractor.
- Knowledge of data center electrical distribution, structured cabling, and telecommunications infrastructure.
- Experience with Procore or a similar construction management platform.
- PMP or equivalent project management credential preferred.
- Engineering degree or PE license is a plus but not required.
- To support a fair, consistent, and high-quality hiring experience, some interviews may be recorded. These recordings help our team focus fully on the conversation at hand, rather than note-taking, and allow us to better evaluate and improve our recruitment process. Recordings are used solely for internal purposes such as training, quality assurance, and process improvement. Candidates will be informed in advance and asked to provide consent before any recording takes place.
