About the roleThe Sr. Structural Engineer is a technical individual contributor within the Civil/Structural/Architectural (CSA) Engineering discipline in Design & Engineering (D&E) at Prime Data Centers. This role owns structural engineering scope across PDC’s hyperscale and purpose-built data center projects — from concept through construction support — ensuring buildings, foundations, and heavy equipment support structures are safe, code-compliant, buildable, and cost-effective at hyperscale.This is a hands‑on technical role, not a people‑management position. It exists because structural decisions on hyperscale campuses carry outsized cost, schedule, and risk exposure — heavy MEP equipment loading, seismic and wind design across varied markets, and foundation design for equipment most commercial structural engineers rarely encounter.Role MissionEnsure PDC’s data centers stand on structurally sound, code‑compliant, cost‑effective foundations and building structures — from design through construction — so schedule and budget commitments hold.Scope & AccountabilityOwns structural engineering scope end‑to‑end for assigned projects: building structure, foundations, and equipment support structures (generators, CRAHs/CRACs, chillers, switchgear, MV/electrical equipment, rooftop‑ and yard‑mounted mechanical/electrical equipment)Serves as PDC’s technical authority for structural design on assigned projectsAccountable for structural code compliance (IBC, ASCE 7, and local amendments), constructability, and delivery impactReviews and validates third‑party structural consultant and contractor deliverablesInfluences structural standards and design patterns across projects and campusesWhat you’ll doTECHNICAL EXECUTION & OWNERSHIPLead structural design and review for building structures, foundations,



and equipment support structures across hyperscale and purpose‑built projectsResolve technically ambiguous structural problems: heavy equipment loading, seismic/wind design across jurisdictions, soil‑and geotech‑driven foundation designBalance speed, risk, cost, and quality in structural decisions; flag when a design choice trades one for anotherReview vendor and manufacturer equipment submittals for structural compatibility; coordinate load data with Design, MEP, and CivilSTANDARDS & TECHNICAL EXCELLENCEDefine, apply, and evolve PDC’s structural design standards and equipment support details for repeatable campus deploymentIdentify opportunities for prefabrication, modularization, and standardized foundation/support details that reduce engineering effort and rework across projectsReduce technical debt and late‑stage structural surprises through sound engineering judgment early in designCROSS‑FUNCTIONAL COLLABORATIONPartner with Design, Civil, Architecture, MEP Engineering, Construction, and Operations on structural coordinationSupport site selection and due diligence with structural and geotechnical risk assessment for candidate sitesCommunicate structural tradeoffs clearly to non‑technical stakeholders — schedule, cost, and risk implications, not just code citationsSupport third‑party structural consultant management: scoping, review, and quality control of deliverablesQualifications8+ years of structural engineering experience,



including mission‑critical, industrial, or heavy‑equipment facility designPE license (or ability to obtain multi‑state licensure) strongly preferredStrong knowledge of IBC, ASCE 7, and structural code compliance across multiple U.S. jurisdictionsExperience with foundation design for heavy/vibrating equipment and seismic/wind design across varied marketsAbility to work independently with minimal direction; robust written and verbal communication skillsHave deep structural engineering experience in data centers, industrial, mission‑critical, or comparable heavy‑equipment environmentsAre comfortable owning large, complex structural scopes independently with minimal oversightHave designed for significant equipment loading (generators, switchgear, cooling plant, etc.), not just typical commercial live/dead loadsCommunicate technical tradeoffs clearly and pragmatically to non‑engineersTake pride in technical excellence that keeps projects on schedule and on budgetBenefitsCompetitive salary rangeand performance bonus program401k fully vested upon enrollment, up to a 4% employer match100% employee premiums paid by employer for medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and disabilityPaid Time Off + Sick timeApplications will be accepted on an ongoing basis.Prime is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
