MEP Design Engineer

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a MEP Design Engineer based in Ireland.

• Develop and review electrical distribution systems, including medium- and low-voltage distribution, UPS systems, diesel generators, and battery energy storage systems (BESS).
• Design and review cooling and ventilation systems, including chillers, dry coolers, water towers, and liquid cooling solutions where applicable.
• Coordinate modular facility architecture and ensure effective integration with mechanical, electrical, and plumbing infrastructure.
• Develop gas fire suppression, ventilation, and OT/IT integration systems, including BMS and DCIM solutions.
• Review technical and design documentation provided by suppliers, contractors, and engineering partners, identifying risks, inconsistencies, and potential design gaps.
• Ensure MEP solutions comply with applicable regulatory, safety, reliability, and energy-efficiency requirements.
• Prepare, maintain, and update the Basis of Design and associated technical specifications.
• Participate in tender processes and evaluate technical proposals from vendors supplying generators, UPS systems, chillers, switchgear, and other critical equipment.
• Coordinate closely with IT Infrastructure teams to align power and cooling requirements with IT deployment needs.
• Support technical coordination throughout the project lifecycle and contribute to resolving design and integration challenges.

• 5+ years of professional experience in MEP design for critical infrastructure or heavy-industry facilities, such as data centers, industrial plants, energy facilities, telecommunications infrastructure, or comparable environments.
• Demonstrated experience designing cooling and ventilation systems; strong conventional HVAC experience is sufficient.
• Solid understanding of mechanical and electrical systems used in critical infrastructure environments.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD, Revit, and relevant engineering calculation or design software.
• Ability to review multidisciplinary technical documentation and identify engineering risks, discrepancies, and integration issues.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate technical requirements into practical design solutions.
• Effective communication and collaboration skills for working with suppliers, engineering partners, IT teams, and other stakeholders.
• English proficiency sufficient to work effectively with international teams and prepare or review technical project documentation.
• Experience with Tier III/IV facilities is an advantage.
• Knowledge of direct liquid cooling (DLC) systems or high-density computing environments is a plus.
• Familiarity with EU or Polish electrical, building, and fire safety regulations is desirable.
• Experience working with high-density GPU infrastructure such as NVIDIA GB200/GB300 is beneficial.
• Polish language skills are an advantage.
• Experience working on greenfield or brownfield projects through construction and implementation phases is highly valued.

• Full-time position with a fully remote working arrangement.
• Opportunity to contribute to the development of large-scale AI data center infrastructure.
• Exposure to advanced power, cooling, fire protection, and high-density computing technologies.
• Broad technical scope spanning electrical, mechanical, ventilation, cooling, fire suppression, and OT/IT integration.
• Opportunity to collaborate with international engineering teams, technology providers, vendors, and infrastructure specialists.
• Significant involvement in technical specifications, equipment selection, tender processes, and design development.
• Experience working on a major critical-infrastructure project with substantial capacity and long-term growth potential.
• International and technically challenging working environment with opportunities to deepen expertise in next-generation data center design.
