About the job:

This role is central to providing expert Technical Design, Engineering and Construction oversight for highly sophisticated and critical technical facilities such as data centers and heavy labs.

The Real Estate and Workplace Services (REWS) team creates inspiring spaces and innovative services that bring Google’s culture and values to life. We build and maintain all aspects of what keeps our Googley workspaces operating seamlessly across multiple cities and regions globally. We also manage the industry-leading services that help make Google a great place to work -- from how we design healthy and collaborative workspaces, create energizing food experiences, provide convenient transportation and fitness options, to delivering environments where Google and our employees can thrive.

Responsibilities:

• Provide technical design & engineering oversight, leveraging a comprehensive and deep background in mechanical, electrical, and control (MEP) design and construction.
  
• Act as a subject matter expert who actively challenges assumptions and proposes innovative solutions.
• Offer technical oversight in sophisticated environments, specifically data center environments, as well as specialized technical facilities such as Central Utility Plants (CUPs), clean rooms, heavy labs, chilled water systems, power/cooling distribution systems, and electrical substations.
  
• Lead the initial project phase by creating comprehensive business cases that clearly articulate the scope, risks, and technical implications necessary to secure executive alignment.
  
• Conduct extensive collaboration with cross-functional teams—including Technical Engineering, Finance, Controls, Security, and Technical and Workplace Services—to gather requirements and validate assumptions during the business case development phase and confirm scope and design BODs (Basis of Designs).
