IREN's platform is underpinned by its expansive portfolio of grid-connected land and power in renewable-rich regions across North America, Europe and APAC.\nWe are moving to liquid-cooled GPU halls at high density. Reporting to the VP, Engineering, the Senior Mechanical Engineer owns the mechanical systems that move heat and fluid across our Canadian sites: chilled water plant, coolant distribution, pumps, piping, heat exchangers, chillers and the controls around them, from design through construction, commissioning and operation.\nYou do not need to have worked in a data center. We are looking for an engineer who has owned fluid systems end to end in a demanding environment (oil and gas, petrochemical, water treatment, marine, mining or industrial process are all good backgrounds) and who can bring that to a new problem. If your career has been in pumps, pipes, chillers and compressors rather than fans and ducts, this is the role for you.\nWith 100% renewable energy, we build, own and operate our data centers and take pride in being at the forefront of sustainable solutions for the ever-evolving applications of high-performance compute. We believe that human progress is invaluable, but it should be done in the right way: responsibly, sustainably and having a positive impact on the communities we operate in.\nResponsibilities\nServe as the owner's mechanical SME for cooling plant across design, construction, commissioning and operations of liquid-cooled HPC data centers: chilled water, coolant distribution, pumps, piping, heat exchangers and controls.\nReview and validate specifications, calculations, drawings and other technical deliverables from consultants, equipment manufacturers, engineering firms and commissioning agents.\nLead or support construction, installation and commissioning activities for mechanical systems.\nMonitor mechanical system performance to maintain operating limits and reliability, assess current and future capacity constraints, and implement energy-efficient improvements.\nCollaborate with architects, electrical engineers and other stakeholders to ensure integrated design solutions.\nSupport project planning by contributing to schedules, budgets and resourcing plans, and coordinating with site teams, corporate staff and external engineering partners.\nDevelop technical documentation (plans, checklists, specifications, reports, procedures and standards) to support work from design through construction, commissioning and operations.\nMaintain records for cooling-system technical documentation and site integration, ensuring completeness, accuracy and availability.\nCoach and provide feedback to other staff on cooling, mechanical and piping matters.\nPerform technical analyses (calculations, simulations, CFD and thermal analysis) to optimize liquid and air cooling and airflow.\nRequirements\nBachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from a recognized institution. P.Eng or eligibility for registration with EGBC preferred.\n7+ years designing, building, commissioning or operating fluid-moving mechanical systems: pumps, piping, chillers, compressors, heat exchangers, hydronic and process cooling plants.\nData center or mission critical experience preferred. Liquid cooling exposure (direct-to-chip, coolant distribution units, rear-door heat exchangers) is a strong asset.\nHands-on experience sizing pumps, piping, heat exchangers and chilled water plant, including hydraulic and thermal calculations.\nWorking knowledge of P&IDs and plant design tools (AutoCAD, Revit or equivalent).\nAbility to apply CFD and thermal analysis results to design decisions.\nWorking knowledge of ASHRAE (including TC 9.9), ASME B31 piping codes, CSA and BC codes. ASPE, IPC and IECC an asset. Familiarity with BMS/BAS or DCIM platforms an asset.\nSenior individual contributor who mentors and coordinates across disciplines, with the potential to lead a mechanical team as the group grows.\nExcellent verbal and written communication skills across audiences from junior staff to senior leadership.\nSelf-driven, detail oriented, and comfortable delivering high-quality work with limited direction, uncertainty and limited information.\nWilling to travel regularly to Prince George and other IREN sites in BC, and Alberta in future.\nBenefits\nAt IREN, we offer a comprehensive Total Rewards package designed to support your health, well-being, and long-term success. Our Canada package includes:Compensation\nThe expected base salary for this role ranges starting from $130,000.00 \nActual compensation will be determined based on factors such as experience, qualifications, and market data for the region.\nTotal Compensation package may be inclusive of annual incentive bonus and equity (long-term incentive).\nRelocation assistance (as applicable and based on successful candidate circumstances).\nHealth & WellnessMedical, dental, and vision insurance coverage, 100% company paid for employees and dependents\nCompany-paid life and disability insurance\nVoluntary life and critical illness coverage available\nEmployee Assistance Program and virtual health care platform\nFinancial Well-BeingRRSP with company match\nVoluntary TFSA\nTime Off & Flexibility3 weeks annually for vacation and paid holidays\nHybrid work arrangement\nGrowth & DevelopmentOpportunities for advancement and internal mobility\nTraining and personal development opportunities\nLifestyle & CultureCompany events and team-building activities","description_format":"text","description_chars":5703,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Company events","Equity","Hybrid work","Insurance coverage","Relocation assistance","Vision insurance"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Canada","iso":"CA","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Data Centers & Colocation","Mining & Staking"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-10T09:08:38Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":14,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.501,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":103,"expected_fill_days":36,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-10T10:19:26Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":92007,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/iren-mechanical-engineer-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/iren-mechanical-engineer-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-10T10:19:26Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":23980,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":47565},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=47565"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Firen-mechanical-engineer-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Firen-mechanical-engineer-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Firen-mechanical-engineer-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/iren-mechanical-engineer-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Firen-mechanical-engineer-2"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4009394}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"iren.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4009394},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
