About the role
What you’ll do
Architecture and Standards • Develop and evolve OCI’s global reference architectures for CSA data center systems. • Establish technical standards for site development, structural frames, building envelopes, and supporting civil infrastructure. • Define scalable design approaches that support hyperscale, AI, and GW-scale data center development while balancing reliability, constructability, speed to market, and lifecycle performance. • Drive engineering standards that align with applicable codes, industry best practices, and OCI’s long-term infrastructure strategy. • Create design frameworks that support future campus growth, modular deployment, and evolving site requirements. Design Function Development • Help stand up and mature OCI’s CSA capability as a global engineering function. • Build repeatable design processes, standards, templates, and review mechanisms that improve consistency and shorten time from concept to deployment. • Influence design governance in a way that accelerates decision-making without sacrificing quality or rigor. • Translate lessons learned from deployed sites into improved standards and next-generation design patterns. • Partner with cross-functional teams to ensure CSA design decisions support OCI’s broader infrastructure strategy. Speed to Market, Efficiency, and Cost • Develop designs that reduce schedule risk, improve constructability, and accelerate delivery across OCI’s global fleet. • Evaluate opportunities to simplify site development through standardization, modularization, prefabrication, and repeatable structural approaches. • Lead total cost of ownership analyses that balance capex, opex, schedule, and lifecycle maintainability. • Set engineering targets for design efficiency, material optimization, and deployment speed. • Use data-driven analysis to identify opportunities to improve both speed to market and long-term site performance. Design, Delivery, and Operations • Provide technical leadership from concept through construction and operational handoff. • Review and validate global standard civil and structural designs, site plans, and engineering calculations. • Ensure designs are validated against OCI’s engineering intent, operational requirements, and site development objectives. • Partner with construction and operations teams to incorporate field learnings into future designs and standards. • Support design validation and continuous improvement activities for next-generation deployments. Vendor and Industry Engagement • Build strategic technical relationships with consultants, EPCs, geotechnical partners, structural fabricators, and critical suppliers. • Lead technical evaluations, RFIs, and RFPs for major civil and structural scopes and related design services. • Influence supplier and delivery partner roadmaps to align with OCI’s long-term infrastructure needs. • Track industry developments in foundation systems, structural materials, building methods, and site development technologies. • Identify and promote innovative civil and structural solutions that improve deployment velocity and infrastructure performance.
What you’ll bring
• 12+ years of experience in civil engineering, structural engineering, or related disciplines focused on data center or mission-critical infrastructure. • Deep expertise in site development, grading, drainage, foundations, structural systems, and building envelope design at scale. • Proven experience developing data center design standards, reference architectures, or global infrastructure platforms. • Strong hands-on knowledge of civil site planning, geotechnical considerations, structural systems, and code-driven design requirements. • Experience improving cost, constructability, schedule, or lifecycle performance across multiple sites or programs. • Strong network of consultants, EPCs, and delivery partners, with experience driving technical evaluations and requirements. • Ability to influence senior stakeholders and drive decisions through clear technical judgment and data.
