Structural & Architectural Design Engineer

About the Position

Our partner, a rapidly growing international technology company, is looking for a Structural & Architectural Design Engineer to support the design and delivery of next-generation AI and hyperscale data center infrastructure across Europe.

The company operates one of the world’s largest GPU-powered infrastructures, serving over 8 million users through 29 data centers across Europe and the Americas.

Together with leading partners, it is investing in the development of a 300MW+ AI data center, one of Europe’s largest independent AI compute infrastructure projects.

About the Role

The Structural & Architectural Design Engineer is responsible for the structural and architectural design of the company 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 DLC cooling while meeting Polish building codes, Tier III 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 MEP design (equipment loads, ceiling heights, clearances for DLC piping and electrical distribution)
• Review architectural/structural sections of design-build packages, flag risks, inconsistencies, and value engineering opportunities
• Ensure compliance with Polish building code, fire safety regulations, and Tier III facility resilience requirements
• Coordinate with local authorities on permitting matters related to structural and architectural design
• Support space planning for future data center scalability

Requirements

• 5+ years of structural and/or architectural design experience, including industrial, warehouse, or critical infrastructure facilities
• Experience with data center or similarly load-intensive facility design (raised floors, heavy equipment loading)
• Working knowledge of Polish building codes and permitting processes
• Proficiency with AutoCAD/Revit and structural calculation software
• Experience coordinating multidisciplinary design (structural/architectural/MEP interfaces)
• English proficiency sufficient for international project documentation

Nice to Have

• 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
• Experience on greenfield/brownfield construction-phase projects

We Offer

• Competitive compensation package: ready to listen to your expectations
• Flexible cooperation format: remote with business trips
