MEP 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 Engineer based in Germany.
This role offers the opportunity to contribute to the development of next-generation AI infrastructure by supporting the technical evaluation and delivery of large-scale data center projects.
You will work across both mechanical and electrical engineering disciplines, gaining broad exposure to mission-critical infrastructure design and development.
Collaborating with experienced engineers and cross-functional teams, you will help assess site feasibility, equipment strategies, and technical requirements.
The position is ideal for an engineer looking to expand their expertise while contributing to complex, high-impact infrastructure initiatives.
You will play a key role in building technical standards, improving evaluation processes, and supporting projects from early assessment through construction readiness.
This is a hands-on opportunity within a fast-moving, international environment where ownership, learning, and innovation are highly valued.
Accountabilities:
In this role, you will support the evaluation and development of AI-focused data center infrastructure projects by providing technical analysis across mechanical and electrical engineering domains. You will collaborate with senior engineers and cross-functional stakeholders to ensure projects are technically feasible, well documented, and prepared for successful execution.
- Support mechanical and electrical due diligence activities for prospective sites, colocation facilities, and build-to-suit opportunities.
- Prepare technical calculations, equipment comparisons, and engineering summaries that support risk assessments and project decisions.
- Assist in evaluating cooling systems, power distribution solutions, and infrastructure options against site conditions and capacity requirements.
- Contribute to Go / No-Go technical assessments by preparing documentation and analysis for key project milestones.
- Help track equipment availability, vendor constraints, technical assumptions, and cost considerations impacting project timelines.
- Support the creation and maintenance of technical standards, checklists, templates, and evaluation processes.
- Assist with documentation of design assumptions, equipment specifications, and readiness criteria before project handoff.
- Collaborate with consulting engineers, vendors, and internal teams to gather information and maintain alignment throughout project development.
Requirements:
The ideal candidate is a motivated engineer with experience in mechanical, electrical, or MEP systems who is interested in developing broad expertise within mission-critical infrastructure environments. You should be comfortable working in an evolving environment, collaborating with senior technical teams, and contributing to complex engineering evaluations.
- 2-5 years of experience in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, MEP design, or mission-critical systems.
- Exposure to both mechanical and electrical engineering disciplines within data center or critical infrastructure environments is preferred.
- Working knowledge of cooling systems such as chillers, CRAH/CRAC units, liquid cooling solutions, and/or power distribution systems including switchgear, UPS, and generators.
- Ability to perform capacity calculations, compare technical solutions, and create clear engineering documentation.
- Understanding of data center infrastructure concepts, equipment selection, and technical feasibility assessments.
- Familiarity with BMS or EPMS controls platforms and commissioning processes is a plus.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively with engineers, consultants, vendors, and business stakeholders.
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
- Engineer in Training (EIT) certification or progress toward professional engineering certification is considered an advantage.
Benefits:
- Competitive compensation package.
- Flexible and remote-first working environment.
- Opportunity to contribute to impactful AI infrastructure projects.
- Career growth opportunities with exposure to complex engineering challenges.
- Learning and development opportunities in a fast-growing technology environment.
- Collaborative international team with talented engineers and specialists.
- High level of ownership and autonomy in shaping technical processes and standards.
