Mechanical Systems Expert at Hut 8

<div class="content-intro"><p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p></div><p><strong>ABOUT THE ROLE</strong></p> <table width="774"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="582"> <p>The Mechanical Systems Expert is Managed Services' expert embedded in a data center build - supporting design review and commissioning to ensure cooling systems are operable and maintainable at turnover. Every design decision eventually becomes someone's 3 a.m. problem; this role reviews the design and witnesses the testing on behalf of that person.</p> <p><br>Some of the key responsibilities you should expect are the following:</p> <p><strong>Operability Design Review</strong></p> <p>Review mechanical and cooling designs - chilled water plants, air and liquid cooling systems, CDUs, CRAHs, heat rejection, water treatment - through an operations lens: maintenance access and laydown, isolation and redundancy behavior, degraded-mode operation, instrumentation adequacy, and failure-mode consequences. File review comments that change designs, not just document concerns.</p> <p><strong>Construction-Phase Verification</strong></p> <p>Walk mechanical installations at key milestones: pipe routing and support, valve access, equipment clearances, insulation quality, and cleanliness/flushing protocol compliance - catching operability problems while they're still cheap to fix.</p> <p><strong>Commissioning Witness</strong></p> <p>Witness Level 3-5 commissioning of mechanical systems: functional performance tests, staging and failover sequences, failure scenarios, and integrated systems testing. Drive operational issues into the Cx log with clear acceptance criteria and verify closure personally.</p> <p><strong>Turnover Readiness</strong></p> <p>Verify mechanical turnover packages: O&amp;Ms, as-builts, valve tags and system labeling, water treatment baselines, spare parts and consumables lists, and PM program inputs (frequencies, procedures, vendor contacts). Validate training actually equips operators to run the plant.</p> <p><strong>Operations Transition Support</strong></p> <p>Support early operations stabilization post-turnover: alarm tuning input, setpoint refinement, and first-months troubleshooting alongside the operations team.</p> <p><strong>Program Feedback</strong></p> <p>Feed operational lessons into Hut 8 mechanical design standards and the next project's basis of design.</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>ABOUT YOU</strong></p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td> <p>What we're looking for:</p> <p>- 8+ years in critical facilities mechanical operations, commissioning, or chief-engineer-track roles.</p> <p>- Deep hands-on knowledge of chilled water plants, hydronic systems, and data center cooling topologies - air-cooled, water-cooled, and liquid/direct-to-chip.</p> <p>- Level 1-5 commissioning fluency from the witness/operations side, including integrated systems testing.</p> <p>- Sharp eye for maintainability in design reviews: access, isolation, and instrumentation gaps.</p> <p>- Turnover documentation rigor - you read the O&amp;M before signing for it.</p> <p>- Comfortable embedded with a construction team while holding the operations line.</p> <p>- Water treatment and cleanliness protocol experience for critical hydronic systems.</p> <p>- CFC/EPA certifications, trade licensure, or engineering degree all welcome paths.</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>ABOUT THE WORK ENVIRONMENT</strong></p> <p>- Full time on-site role.</p>
