Job Description

AECOM is seeking a Mechanical Engineering Director with experience in hyperscale data center projects to lead and manage our U.S. Data Center Mechanical Department. This role is responsible for providing technical leadership, strategic direction, and oversight of the mechanical engineering team supporting hyperscale data center programs across the United States.

The Mechanical Engineering Director will oversee the delivery of mechanical design services for data center projects, including HVAC and piping, while ensuring technical quality, consistency, and alignment with client standards. In addition to guiding project execution, this role is responsible for managing team performance, supporting resource planning and staffing, mentoring engineers, and establishing best practices and standards for mechanical design across the data center portfolio.

While the role includes department leadership responsibilities, the Director is also expected to remain technically engaged. This includes providing hands on technical oversight and subject matter expertise on complex hyperscale data center projects, supporting project teams with critical design decisions, and serving as a senior technical resource for challenging mechanical systems and client requirements.

This position offers the flexibility of a remote work schedule and can be based from a variety of locations in the US where AECOM has an office.

Although the position is primarily remote periodic travel may be required for client meetings, key project milestones, onsite collaboration sessions, or other business‑critical activities. Travel is expected to be occasional and scheduled in advance.

AECOM is a leader in the global data center consulting industry with robust teams in the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. In this role, you will have the opportunity to work with our teams around the world on high-profile, fast-paced data center projects for global clients. This is a hands-on, client-facing role with an opportunity for upward career mobility.

Job Description:

Provide leadership and management for the U.S. Data Center Mechanical Engineering team, supporting project delivery across multiple hyperscale data center programs.
Establish technical standards, best practices, and quality expectations for mechanical design across the data center portfolio.
Support project teams as a senior technical resource on complex hyperscale data center projects, providing guidance on system architecture, design decisions, and client requirements.
Provide technical oversight of mechanical system design, including HVAC systems, hydronic piping systems, and fire suppression systems, ensuring alignment with client standards and operational performance requirements.
Oversee coordination of mechanical engineering work with other disciplines, including electrical, structural, and architectural teams, to ensure integrated and constructible design solutions.
Support resource planning, staffing strategies, and workload balancing across the mechanical team to meet project schedules and client commitments.
Mentor and develop engineers within the department, supporting technical growth, professional development, and knowledge sharing.
Ensure mechanical designs comply with applicable industry codes, standards, and best practices relevant to hyperscale data center infrastructure.
Stay current on emerging technologies, industry trends, and evolving codes related to mechanical systems in data centers.
Provide technical oversight and support during construction phases when needed, assisting teams with RFIs, design clarifications, and complex field issues.
Participate in key client meetings and strategic discussions as a senior technical representative for mechanical engineering.
Evaluate and promote new technologies and engineering approaches that improve performance, reliability, and energy efficiency of data center mechanical systems.
Support continuous improvement of engineering processes, documentation standards, and design workflows across the data center practice.

Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering plus twelve (12) years of relevant experience in mechanical design and/or mechanical engineering, with a focus on data center infrastructure, or demonstrated equivalency of experience and/or education, including 4 years of leadership experience.
