Structural & Architectural Design Engineer
This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Structural & Architectural Design Engineer based in United Kingdom.
As a Structural & Architectural Design Engineer, you’ll contribute to the design of a major AI data center infrastructure project with demanding structural and operational requirements.
- Work across building envelope, internal layouts, structural load-bearing systems, life safety, lighting, and technological infrastructure pathways.
- Designs will need to support high-density AI computing and liquid-cooled equipment while maintaining resilience, security, and operational efficiency.
- Collaborate closely with MEP engineers and other technical specialists to ensure architectural and structural solutions are fully integrated.
- Review design-build packages, identify risks, support permitting, and ensure compliance with applicable building and fire-safety regulations.
- Work in an international, technically complex environment where practical engineering judgment and attention to detail are highly valued.
- Opportunity to apply your structural and architectural expertise to next-generation critical infrastructure with significant future scalability.
Accountabilities
- Design building envelope systems, including exterior walls, façades, roofing, and thermal and moisture insulation suitable for critical data center environments.
- Develop internal partitioning and space-planning solutions, including white-space and gray-space separation, security zones, fire compartments, corridors, and access-control layouts.
- Perform structural load calculations for raised floors, POD and racking areas, and rooftop mechanical equipment such as coolers and pump skids.
- Calculate floor-loading capacity for IT racks, including high-density liquid-cooled racks and CDU placement zones.
- Design tunnels and technological infrastructure pathways for cable trays, piping, and other critical services.
- Develop lighting concepts for white space, gray space, offices, exterior areas, and security zones in line with data center operational requirements.
- Coordinate architectural and structural drawings with MEP teams, accounting for equipment loads, ceiling heights, structural clearances, cooling-pipe routes, and electrical distribution.
- Review architectural and structural components of design-build packages, identifying technical risks, inconsistencies, and potential value-engineering opportunities.
- Ensure designs comply with applicable local building codes, fire-safety regulations, and facility resilience requirements.
- Coordinate with local authorities and relevant stakeholders on structural and architectural permitting matters.
- Support long-term space planning and design strategies that allow the facility to scale as infrastructure and computing requirements evolve.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Requirements
- 5+ years of professional experience in structural and/or architectural design, ideally involving industrial, warehouse, manufacturing, critical infrastructure, or similarly complex facilities.
- Demonstrated experience designing load-intensive facilities, including raised floors, heavy stationary equipment, and structures requiring detailed load calculations.
- Direct data center experience is beneficial but not mandatory; relevant experience from industrial, warehouse, manufacturing, or comparable environments is fully applicable.
- Proficiency with AutoCAD and/or Revit.
- Experience with at least one structural calculation package, such as Tekla Structures, Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis, IDEA StatiCa, or Dlubal RFEM.
- Proven ability to coordinate multidisciplinary designs and manage interfaces between structural, architectural, and MEP disciplines.
- Strong understanding of structural design principles, building layouts, space planning, and technical coordination.
- Ability to identify design risks, inconsistencies, and practical optimization opportunities in complex engineering documentation.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills, particularly when working with international engineering teams and external stakeholders.
- English proficiency sufficient for international project documentation, technical discussions, and coordination.
- Working knowledge of local building codes and permitting processes is an advantage.
- Experience with Tier III/IV data center design standards is desirable.
- Familiarity with modular or POD-based data center construction is a plus.
- Experience designing facilities for high-density, liquid-cooled IT environments is beneficial.
- Polish language skills are an advantage.
- Experience supporting greenfield or brownfield projects through construction phases is highly valued.
