[Remote] Data Center Constructability Engineer

Remote Full-time Now Hiring

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Armada is a company specializing in modular AI infrastructure for edge computing, delivering scalable and sovereign solutions globally. The Data Center Constructability Engineer role supports the Galleon and Leviathan product lines by ensuring constructability from site due diligence through installation and commissioning, developing standardized construction playbooks, and coordinating cross-functional teams and contractors.

Responsibilities

  • Review Leviathan/Galleon MDC and site designs (civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, piping, controls, ICT, IT) at each stage gate and feed constructability input directly into product development — modularity, transport and lifting constraints, ISO container/skid interfaces, installation sequencing, and commissioning strategy — catching buildability issues while they are still cheap to fix, before they are locked into issued-for-construction drawings
  • Validate deployment methodologies for Leviathan across candidate and active sites worldwide (crane selection and access, laydown and site logistics, erection/installation sequencing, tolerances and fit-up), and own early constructability due diligence that flags site-specific vendor, access, or execution risk before it causes late-stage redesign or slips a deployment
  • Develop and maintain repeatable construction playbooks, sequencing plans, and methods of procedure for single-unit and campus-scale Leviathan deployments, turning site execution into a repeatable, SKU-like process instead of a one-off plan per site and region
  • Personally lead constructability analysis (crane/lift studies, transport and logistics modeling, installation sequencing) for new Armada products or site conditions where no vendor, GC, or prior-site precedent exists yet, establishing the buildability basis in-house before handing execution off to local contractors and fabricators
  • Act as the constructability point of contact linking Armada product engineering with civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, piping, controls, ICT, and IT disciplines, fabricators, and general contractors; support pre-construction planning (schedule, cost, logistics, procurement lead times) and review design packages and shop drawings for buildability, ensuring what is designed can actually be fabricated, transported, and installed as sequenced and on schedule
  • Build and maintain constructability guidelines, buildability/site-readiness checklists, and review workflows by geography; track open constructability items and lessons learned across active sites; and provide the final constructability sign-off confirming a site's design and execution plan are buildable and ready to proceed to construction

Skills

  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or related field
  • 5–7 years of hands-on construction management, constructability/buildability review, or design experience on industrial, modular, or mission-critical facility projects, including direct general contractor or fabrication-yard experience
  • Working knowledge of modular/prefabricated construction methods, crane/lift and rigging planning, transport and site logistics, and means-and-methods planning across multiple codes and jurisdictions
  • Comfort operating with a high degree of autonomy — you'll be defining the playbook, not inheriting one
  • Willingness and ability to travel approximately 30–40% to project sites, fabrication facilities, and construction locations worldwide
  • Certification such as CCP (Certified Constructability Professional), CCM (Certified Construction Manager), or PMP
  • Prior experience with modular, prefabricated, ISO container, or skid-mounted construction methodologies, ideally for data centers or other mission-critical/industrial facilities, including international or multi-region project experience
  • Exposure to data center–specific constructability considerations: raised platform/foundation systems, equipment yard layout (generators, transformers, chillers, PEMB), and MEP/controls integration sequencing
  • Knowledge of building codes and regulations
  • Experience reading, interpreting, and creating construction drawings, specifications, and submittal documents
  • Experience building constructability review programs, buildability checklists, or governance processes for a growing team or portfolio, rather than only executing against existing ones
  • Background collaborating directly with CSA, MEP, control, ICT, and IT engineering teams, fabricators, general contractors, and local delivery partners across multiple regions or countries
  • Experience with scheduling, cost, and logistics planning tools (e.g., Primavera P6, MS Project) to support pre-construction readiness

Benefits

  • Remote in the U.S.
  • Equity
  • Medical, dental, and vision (subsidized cost)
  • Health savings accounts (HSA), flexible spending accounts (FSA), and dependent care FSAs (DCFSA)
  • Retirement plan options, including 401(k) and Roth 401(k)
  • Unlimited paid time off (PTO)
  • 14 paid company holidays per year
