• Provide onsite engineering support throughout active data center construction
• Review and interpret engineering drawings, specifications, design packages, and contract documents
• Review and coordinate RFIs, technical submittals, and contractor questions
• Identify design conflicts, constructability concerns, field constraints, and potential engineering issues
• Evaluate field conditions and work with design teams to develop practical technical solutions
• Support design modifications and field-driven engineering changes as required
• Coordinate between engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and client teams
• Participate in project coordination, construction progress, and client meetings
• Monitor construction activities for alignment with engineering design intent and project requirements
• Assist with technical evaluation of equipment, materials, and installation methods
