The listing
About the role
We 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.
Role description
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.
Responsibilities
Design building envelope elements: exterior walls, façade, roofing systems, and thermal/moisture insulation appropriate for a data center environment
Design internal partitioning and space planning: white space vs. gray space separation, security zoning, fire compartmentalization, corridors, and access control layout
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
Coordinate structural and architectural drawings with the MEP team (equipment loads, ceiling heights, clearances for cooling piping and electrical distribution)
Review architectural/structural sections of design-build packages, flag risks, inconsistencies, and value engineering opportunities
Ensure compliance with local building codes, fire safety regulations, and facility resilience requirements
Coordinate with local authorities on permitting matters related to structural and architectural design
Support space planning for future data center scalability
Required experience
5+ years of structural and/or architectural design experience, with direct, clearly documented data center project experience
Demonstrated full architectural scope: building envelope, internal layouts, fire/security zoning — not only structural calculation work
A track record at a senior, independent-ownership level (not an assistant/support role) — able to take end-to-end responsibility on a core design team
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)
English proficiency sufficient for international project documentation
Nice to Have
Working knowledge of local building codes and permitting processes
Experience 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
Polish language skills
Experience on greenfield/brownfield construction-phase projects
