Original job description

Job Title: Design ManagerJob DescriptionThe Design Manager serves as the primary technical advocate for the Owner, overseeing external architecture and engineering teams as they convert industrial brownfield structures into mission-critical facilities. This role guides complex warehouse-to-data-center retrofits from initial building assessment and feasibility through permitting, structural reinforcement, utility service upgrades, and final construction, ensuring that design intent, budget, and schedule are consistently protected.

Responsibilities

Lead technical due diligence and feasibility studies for converting existing warehouse shells into data center infrastructure, including structural load assessments and utility capacity evaluations to optimize layouts.
Act as the primary technical liaison between internal stakeholders, external Engineers of Record, and general contractors, consistently advocating for the Owners design intent, budget, and schedule.
Oversee and review 30%, 60%, 90%, and Issued-for-Construction design packages, ensuring seamless integration of heavy electrical and mechanical systems within existing building footprints.
Navigate complex change-of-use permitting processes, zoning requirements, and variances with local Authorities Having Jurisdiction, ensuring full compliance with US codes such as NFPA, NEC, and IBC for building retrofits.
Coordinate structural and utility designs, including reinforcements for heavy AHU and chiller loads, slab-on-grade modifications, localized trenching, and routing of medium-voltage power upgrades into existing sites.
Proactively identify unforeseen existing site conditions and manage associated technical and contractual impacts through Requests for Information, careful evaluation of contractor change orders, and structured scope control.
Lead Value Engineering workshops to balance performance, reliability, and cost, while maintaining the mission-critical requirements of data center and advanced technology facilities.
Support project delivery from structural exploration and core/shell modifications through permitted construction and final handover, ensuring technical consistency and quality throughout.
Collaborate closely with construction management and design teams to align building design, construction sequencing, and data center requirements across all phases of the project.
Maintain accurate and organized design data and project documentation, contributing to effective data and project management practices across multiple concurrent retrofit projects.

Essential Skills

Bachelors degree in Civil, Structural, Electrical, or Mechanical Engineering, Architecture, or a closely related technical field.
Minimum 5+ years of professional experience in design, engineering, or construction management for mission-critical facilities such as data centers, telecom, or advanced technology environments.
Explicit experience in building conversions, adaptive reuse, or major retrofits of existing industrial or warehouse structures.
Proven experience developing, reviewing, and permitting construction documents under US Building Codes (IBC), National Electrical Code (NEC), and NFPA standards, particularly for existing structures and renovations.
Demonstrated history of delivering industrial or mission-critical projects from structural exploration and core/shell modification through permitted construction and handover.
Strong project management skills, including scope control, change management, and coordination of multidisciplinary design and construction teams.
Experience in construction and design project management within building design and construction environments.
Ability to manage and interpret complex design data and documentation for mission-critical facility projects.
Deep familiarity with mission-critical facilities and data center design principles, including reliability, redundancy, and infrastructure resiliency.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Direct experience converting large-scale logistics, fulfillment, or industrial distribution centers into Tier III or Tier IV data center infrastructure.
Deep understanding of integrating heavy mechanical systems such as rooftop air handlers and chiller plants into existing building envelopes.
Strong knowledge of high-density electrical topologies, including substations, generators, and UPS systems, and their integration into retrofit projects.
Structural savvy with retrofitting challenges, including column-grid constraints, roof loading limitations, and building envelope thermal upgrades.
Hands-on experience with Bluebeam for document review and markups.
Proficiency with construction and design management platforms such as Procore and BIM 360/Navisworks for coordinating existing and new utilities.
Experience using project scheduling tools such as MS Project or Primavera P6 to plan and track complex retrofit projects.
Background in data management related to design and construction projects.
Experience working in mission-critical facilities environments and data center construction management.
