AECOM’s Enterprise Capabilities is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to join the Mechanical Engineering team in Milan, Italy.
The position is suited for engineers with around 5 years of experience in HVAC and mechanical building services, with exposure to data centers or mission-critical facilities.
The role focuses on the design and coordination of HVAC and cooling systems, supporting data center and critical infrastructure projects within multidisciplinary teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Support the design of HVAC and heat rejection systems for data centers and mission-critical environments, considering cooling loads, redundancy concepts, flexibility for phased expansion, airflow management, humidity control, and energy efficiency.
- Contribute to the selection and layout of cooling solutions such as CRAH/CRAC units, chilled water systems, DX systems, in-row cooling, fan wall units, and basic containment strategies, based on project requirements.
- Perform cooling and heating load calculations using industry tools, under the supervision of senior engineers when required.
- Assist in the design of chilled water plants, precision cooling systems, and mechanical ventilation systems, including preliminary equipment sizing and component selection.
- Prepare and support the development of technical drawings, specifications, calculation notes, and reports in English.
- Develop HVAC schematics, basic system architectures, single-line control diagrams, and P&IDs for mechanical systems.
- Support HVAC system modeling in Revit, coordinate with other disciplines, and assist with clash detection activities using Revit and/or Navisworks.
- Work closely with electrical, architectural, and structural teams to ensure coordinated and integrated design solutions.
- Stay updated on data center cooling technologies, HVAC best practices, and applicable international standards.
