About the Role
~1 min readWe 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.
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.

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

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)
Nice to Have
~1 min readExperience 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
Experience on greenfield/brownfield construction-phase projects
