Senior Engineer - Plumbing Engineering (Data Centers)

Responsibilities

• Lead design of plumbing systems: domestic cold/hot water (including hot water recirculation), sanitary and vent, storm/roof drainage, fuel gas, and specialty/process plumbing as required.
• Develop basis‑of‑design, calculations (pipe sizing, pressure loss, pump sizing), schematics/p&ids, riser diagrams, equipment schedules, and technical specifications.
• Produce coordinated BIM/CAD deliverables in Revit and AutoCAD; perform clash detection and resolve interfaces with architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and fire protection.
• Apply and interpret applicable codes and standards (e.g., IPC/UPC, ASPE, ASME/ASTM, backflow and cross‑connection control) and project‑specific client standards.
• Define reliability and maintainability strategies (e.g., redundancy, isolation/valving, access/maintenance, leak detection, monitoring).
• Lead QA/QC reviews, design reviews, risk identification/mitigation, and change control across project stages.
• Support procurement and construction: review submittals, respond to RFIs, evaluate value‑engineering options, and provide field/commissioning support.
• Prepare technical reports, calculations, cost estimates, and scope documents; maintain traceability and configuration control.
• Contribute to proposals, level‑of‑effort estimates, schedules, and resource planning for pursuits and active programs.
• Champion safety, quality, and sustainability, integrating water efficiency, reuse, and best practices into design.
• Minimum Requirements
• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or related discipline (plumbing/building services emphasis).
• 6+ years of progressive experience in building plumbing systems design and delivery.
• Demonstrated proficiency with Revit MEP and AutoCAD; solid Excel skills for calculations and documentation.
• Working knowledge of plumbing codes/standards (IPC/UPC, ASPE guidance, backflow prevention) and local jurisdictional requirements.
• Experience performing hydraulic calculations and equipment sizing (e.g., pumps, water heaters, pressure‑reducing/boosting, storage).
• Proven track record leading design packages, coordinating across disciplines, and managing scope, schedule, and deliverables.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with client‑facing experience.
• Ability to work in a fast‑paced, multi‑project environment and support occasional site visits.
• Authorization to work in the country of assignment.

Requirements

• Master's degree in Civil/Mechanical/Building Services Engineering.
• Professional licensure/registration (e.g., PE, Chartered Engineer) and/or CPD (ASPE) credential; LEED or equivalent sustainability accreditation.
• Experience with complex facilities (e.g., healthcare, laboratories, mission‑critical/data centers, industrial).
• Advanced BIM coordination (Navisworks) and common data environment tools (BIM 360/ACC, Bluebeam).
• Familiarity with hydraulic modeling tools (e.g., Pipe‑Flo, EPANET, WaterCAD/WaterGEMS) and sizing software.
• Experience with water reuse/greywater, rainwater harvesting, and water quality/treatment interfaces.
• Construction and commissioning experience (flushing/disinfection, pressure testing, functional testing, O&M turnover).
• Exposure to automation/scripting for QA/QC or productivity (e.g., Dynamo, Python) is a plus.
• Additional information
• Relocation assistance is not available for this position.
• Sponsorship for Colombia work authorization is not available for this position, now or in the future.
