Data-Center On-Site Mechanical Engineer

The area Googlers thrive in small, focused teams and high-energy environments, believe in the ability of technology to change the world, and are as passionate about their lives as they are about their work. For more information, visit www.google.com/careers. Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We're always on call to keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible. The role Our thirst for technology is a part of everything we do. The Data Center Engineering team takes the physical design of our data centers into the future. Our lab mirrors a research and development department -- cutting-edge strategies are born, tested and tested again. Along with a team of great minds, you tackle complex topics like how we use power or how to run state-of-the-art, environmentally-friendly facilities. You're a visionary who optimizes for efficiencies and never stops seeking improvements -- even small changes that can make a huge impact. You generate ideas, communicate recommendations to senior-level executives and drive implementation alongside facilities technicians. You analyze and design improvements on engineering systems projects (e.g., cooling, electrical). You are a highly motivated on-site Mechanical Engineer who wants to develop skills in the design, construction, commissioning and operation of complex and mission critical data centre facilities. You have excellent communication skills, the ability to work in teams or on one's own with minimal supervision. You are able to provide project design and field engineering support, coordination of project implementation, and participate in all phases of a project life cycle. You will be involved in major projects from green field design and construction to modification and operations support of existing infrastructures across Europe. You will learn to provide and prepare engineering documents including: SOW, TCO analysis, drawing markup, budget, schedule, final startup/commissioning reports, and review and acceptance of as-builts and submittals. Responsibilities - Collaborate with core team to develop the DC mechanical cooling and utility designs right through all phases of the design and construction processes for new DC projects and for major infrastructure upgrades. - Support new technology insertions through collaboration with the core engineering team to identify requirements during the development of site specific designs. - Work with external consultants and internal partners to convert system level schematics into detailed designs that ensure local requirements are met. - Own and manage all site level mechanical system issues during project execution phase, identify & resolve issues with the cross functional teams. - Generate scope of work for major infrastructure upgrades based on project needs and work with internal teams on implementation. Responsible for the performance and quality of all site projects. Minimum qualifications - BE/BS in Building Services Engineering or equivalent practical experience. Preferred qualifications - Relevant work experience. - Travel Requirements (including travel to US and within Europe) 30% of the time.
