Senior Building Services Engineer – Modular Data Centre Solutions

    Silent-Aire | Dublin

    What you will do

    As a Senior Building Services Engineer, you will play a key role in shaping the next generation of Modular Data Centre (MDC) solutions. Working within our Modular Design Engineering team, you will provide technical leadership across the full project lifecycle, from early-stage concept development through detailed design, factory manufacture, testing, commissioning, and site integration.

    You will be responsible for developing innovative, high-performance building services solutions that meet the demanding requirements of mission-critical environments. A key aspect of the role will be the ownership and development of Descriptions of Operation (DoO), ensuring engineering designs are translated into safe, reliable, and fully operable systems that perform as intended.

    This is an opportunity to work on complex, cutting-edge infrastructure projects within a collaborative, fast-paced environment where your expertise will have a direct impact on project success.

    How you will do it

    Building Services & Modular Design

    • Lead the design and delivery of mechanical and electrical building services systems for modular data centre solutions.
    • Develop engineering designs from concept through to detailed design, supporting efficient off-site manufacturing and seamless site integration.
    • Ensure solutions meet performance, resilience, sustainability, and energy-efficiency requirements.
    • Produce, review, and approve calculations, schematics, layouts, technical specifications, and design documentation.
    • Drive engineering best practice and provide technical guidance to internal stakeholders throughout the design process.

    Descriptions of Operation (DoO) & Control Strategies

    • Develop, maintain, and take ownership of Descriptions of Operation (DoO) for modular data centre systems.
    • Define system functionality, control strategies, sequences of operation, interlocks, alarms, and failure responses.
    • Ensure operational documentation aligns with P&IDs, controls architecture, BMS point schedules, I/O lists, and commissioning procedures.
    • Act as the technical authority for operational narratives, supporting controls integration, factory acceptance testing, and commissioning activities.

    Project Delivery & Stakeholder Collaboration

    • Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams including BIM, controls, manufacturing, commissioning, and project delivery functions.
    • Engage with clients, consultants, and equipment vendors to review designs, resolve technical challenges, and ensure project objectives are achieved.
    • Support factory testing, commissioning activities, and site integration to verify performance and operational readiness.
    • Provide technical leadership, contributing to continuous improvement and the ongoing development of modular engineering standards.

    What we look for

    • Degree qualified in Building Services Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
    • Significant experience delivering MEP systems within mission-critical, data centre, pharmaceutical, or similarly complex environments.
    • Strong understanding of mechanical and electrical building services design, system integration, and operational performance.
    • Experience working on modular, prefabricated, or off-site manufactured solutions would be a distinct advantage.
    • Proven track record of developing Descriptions of Operation, control philosophies, and operational narratives for complex engineered systems.
    • Ability to translate technical design intent into clear, structured, and effective operational documentation.
    • Strong problem-solving skills with the confidence to make informed engineering decisions and provide technical leadership.
    • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary teams.
    • A proactive, solutions-focused approach and a passion for delivering innovative engineering solutions in a fast-growing, technology-driven sector.

    Join Silent-Aire and help deliver world-class modular data centre solutions at the forefront of mission-critical infrastructure innovation.
