A private firm owned by a group controlling $6 billion in assets, with a 15-year tenure in technology and real estate development, Prime provides customers with ownership options and dynamic leasing models, defining a true corporate partnership.\nAbout the role\nThe Sr. Structural Engineer is a technical individual contributor within the Civil/Structural/Architectural (CSA) Engineering discipline in Design & Engineering (D&E) at Prime Data Centers. This role owns structural engineering scope across PDC's hyperscale and purpose-built data center projects - from concept through construction support - ensuring buildings, foundations, and heavy equipment support structures are safe, code-compliant, buildable, and cost-effective at hyperscale. \nThis is a hands-on technical role, not a people-management position. It exists because structural decisions on hyperscale campuses carry outsized cost, schedule, and risk exposure - heavy MEP equipment loading, seismic and wind design across varied markets, and foundation design for equipment most commercial structural engineers rarely encounter. \nRole Mission\nEnsure PDC's data centers stand on structurally sound, code-compliant, cost-effective foundations and building structures - from design through construction - so schedule and budget commitments hold. \nScope & Accountability\nOwns structural engineering scope end-to-end for assigned projects: building structure, foundations, and equipment support structures (generators, CRAHs/CRACs, chillers, switchgear, MV/electrical equipment, rooftop- and yard-mounted mechanical/electrical equipment) \nServes as PDC's technical authority for structural design on assigned projects \nAccountable for structural code compliance (IBC, ASCE 7, and local amendments), constructability, and delivery impact \nReviews and validates third-party structural consultant and contractor deliverables \nInfluences structural standards and design patterns across projects and campuses \nWhat you'll do\nTECHNICAL EXECUTION & OWNERSHIP\nLead structural design and review for building structures, foundations, and equipment support structures across hyperscale and purpose-built projects\nResolve technically ambiguous structural problems: heavy equipment loading, seismic/wind design across jurisdictions, soil- and geotech-driven foundation design\nBalance speed, risk, cost, and quality in structural decisions; flag when a design choice trades one for another\nReview vendor and manufacturer equipment submittals for structural compatibility; coordinate load data with Design, MEP, and Civil\nSTANDARDS & TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE\nDefine, apply, and evolve PDC's structural design standards and equipment support details for repeatable campus deployment\nIdentify opportunities for prefabrication, modularization, and standardized foundation/support details that reduce engineering effort and rework across projects\nReduce technical debt and late-stage structural surprises through sound engineering judgment early in design\nCROSS-FUNCTIONAL COLLABORATION\nPartner with Design, Civil, Architecture, MEP Engineering, Construction, and Operations on structural coordination\nSupport site selection and due diligence with structural and geotechnical risk assessment for candidate sites\nCommunicate structural tradeoffs clearly to non-technical stakeholders - schedule, cost, and risk implications, not just code citations\nSupport third-party structural consultant management: scoping, review, and quality control of deliverables\nQualifications\n8+ years of structural engineering experience, including mission-critical, industrial, or heavy-equipment facility design \nPE license (or ability to obtain multi-state licensure) strongly preferred \nStrong knowledge of IBC, ASCE 7, and structural code compliance across multiple U.S. jurisdictions \nExperience with foundation design for heavy/vibrating equipment and seismic/wind design across varied markets \nAbility to work independently with minimal direction; strong written and verbal communication skills \nHave deep structural engineering experience in data centers, industrial, mission-critical, or comparable heavy-equipment environments \nAre comfortable owning large, complex structural scopes independently with minimal oversight \nHave designed for significant equipment loading (generators, switchgear, cooling plant, etc.), not just typical commercial live/dead loads \nCommunicate technical tradeoffs clearly and pragmatically to non-engineers \nTake pride in technical excellence that keeps projects on schedule and on budget \nBenefits\nCompetitive salary range and performance bonus program\n401k fully vested upon enrollment, up to a 4% employer match\n100% employee premiums paid by employer for medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and disability\nPaid Time Off + Sick time\nApplications will be accepted on an ongoing basis.\nPrime is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
