This role offers the flexibility of remote work and can be fulfilled from various locations across the U. S. where AECOM has offices.

This is a client-facing role with significant potential for career advancement.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Data Center Heat Rejection and HVAC System Design: Develop and design heat rejection and HVAC systems customized for data centers, focusing on cooling requirements, associated loads, system flexibility for varied heat distribution, phased construction, airflow management, humidity control, and compliance with industry standards.
  • Cooling System Selection: Choose suitable air/water side cooling systems for data centers, including fan wall units, CRAH units, chilled water systems, and containment solutions tailored to the specific cooling needs and equipment criticality.
  • Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Analysis: Execute internal CFD simulations to optimize airflow distribution, assess transient conditions, identify hotspots, and ensure efficient cooling throughout the data center. Conduct external CFD analyses across buildings and campuses to evaluate the interaction of electrical and mechanical components.
