Civil Engineer/Construction Engineer

Profile title

Civil Engineer/Construction Engineer

Summary statement

Plans, designs, overseas and manages all civil and construction related matters of the data centre.

Mission/general skills description

Ensures that a building is built to be strong and stable enough to resist all appropriate structural loads (e.g., weight, gravity, wind, snow, rain, seismic (earthquake), temperature, traffic etc.) in order to prevent or reduce loss of life or injury. Design structures to be stiff enough to not deflect or vibrate beyond acceptable limits during deployment of large and (heavy data) centre equipment and their operations. Consideration is given to durability of materials against possible deterioration which may impair performance over the design lifetime.
