Key Responsibilities
- Solution Design & Proposal Management
The scope of technical solutions is divided into the following categories:
- Infrastructure Build & Cabling: Installation of 47RU server racks, assembly of Hot and Cold Aisle Containment systems (polycarbonate infills, sliding doors), and implementation of comprehensive structured cabling solutions, including fiber runners, cable trays, and pathway management.
- Power Systems: Management of busway infrastructure, deployment of 3PH Tap Off Units (TOUs), installation of PDUs/rPDUs, and execution of rack grounding systems.
- Integration & Systems: Modification and relocation of environmental sensors, lighting, and BMS integration.
- Mechanical Solutions: Design and implementation of cooling systems, piping infrastructure, and execution or review of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis for data halls.
- Testing & Commissioning: Heat Load Testing in accordance to the customer fit-out deployment which includes load bank rentals.
