**About the Role:** As the Technical Manager, you will be the primaryengineering authority supporting the underlying infrastructure that sustainsone of CBRE’s High Performance Computing (HPC) environments in the world. Based in Lemont, Illinois, this CBRE on-site roleprovides the client with specialized strategic (and operational feedback)pertaining to **critical electrical, mechanical, cooling, and facilityinfrastructure** that would directly support the Facility’s computecapability. You will also act as CBRE’s: 1. **Site Subject Matter Expert (SME)** forliquid cooling and MEP systems supporting high-density compute systems; and 2. **Owner of Critical Environment Risk Management(CERM)** for the facility, ensuring the stability, safety, andresilience of the supporting critical infrastructure. This position requires an advanced engineering skill set,deep infrastructure knowledge, and the ability to operate within a **researchand laboratory environment** , supporting mission-critical workloads andrigorous compliance requirements. It is imperative that the individual has **advancedpresentation and communications skills (written and oral)** to convey complexengineering and technical messages to executives, and be able to do so in aprofessional and concise manner. **Essential Duties & Responsibilities** · Represent the face of CBRE in any strategic and/orcomplex technical conversations/engagements involving Client representatives (i.e.,Asset Manager, Engineer of Record (EOR) and other 3 rd party technicalexpertise) in order to provide CBRE high level and/or detailed operational input,and done in a concise and timely manner for future capacity decisions. · Manage the Facility’s power, cooling, andinfrastructure capacity in line with exascale system demands and futuretechnology refresh cycles. TheTechnical Manager will manage in a timely manner any Data Center capacity requeststhat come in from the Client’s Client related to enhanced, revised, or reduced capacityloads (incl. power, HVAC, space, weight). · Ensure all infrastructure operations comply withclient and vendor technical requirements, including contract-specificengineering deliverables. · On behalf of CBRE, maintain and govern allcritical infrastructure drawings for the Facility, including chilled waterdistribution, liquid-cooling loops, electrical one-lines, and HPC loaddistribution diagrams. · Develop and maintain detailedsite-specific RACI matrices tailored to HPC operational structure. · Perform staffing analysis to support 24/7coverage, high-density cooling management, and HPC system maintenance windows. · Lead creation and updates of businesscontinuity and disaster recovery plans specific to the high-performancecomputing environment. · Implement training and qualification programsfor critical facilities engineers supporting the Facility’s unique cooling andpower systems. · Coordinate mock failure scenarios (e.g.,chiller plant failures, power transitions, liquid-cooling loop disruptions) tovalidate operational readiness. · Develop and refine operating procedures(SOP/EOP/MOP) specific to exascale HPC cooling, power sequencing, and systemchange protocols. · Provide incident response support, includingcontribution to root cause analysis for any facility events thatimpact HPC availability. · Identify and maintain a site-specific riskregister covering HPC thermal loads, water systems, UPS distribution, andmission interruptions. · Oversee airflow and liquid-cooling optimizationto support the Facility’s extreme compute power density. · Assess lifecycle condition of assets supporting theFacility (UPC, CW pumps, cooling towers, CDUs, heat exchangers) and informcapital planning. · Develop and implement sustainability strategiesin accordance with Client sustainability goals, including water usage, energyefficiency, and PUE/WUE reduction. **Knowledge** Operation, maintenance, and repair of data center criticalinfrastructure, including: · Standby generators, UPS systems, PDUs, ATSssupporting the Facility. · Large-scale chilled water plants, liquid-coolingdistribution units, and plate heat exchangers · CRAHs, CRACs, and data center-specific coolingtechnologies (e.g., warm-water loops, rear-door exchangers) · BMS, EPMS, CMMS, DCIM systems integrated withHPC telemetry systems Engineering Knowledge of: · Psychrometric charts, HVAC load calculations,and hydronic pipe sizing. · Reading electrical one-lines, chilled, andcondenser water diagrams. · Standard sequences of operation for electricaland mechanical data center systems. · Electrical power calculations per NFPA 70 (NEC),coordination, arc-flash studies (NFPA 70E), and maintenance practices (NFPA70B). · Industry standards, including ASHRAE Datacom/TC9.9 and OCP publications. · Principles of preventative, predictive, andreactive maintenance. · Energy efficiency metrics (e.g., PUE, WUE) andsustainable data center practices. **Skills** · Ability to analyze performance data from thedata center’s environmental telemetry, SCADA systems, and HPC monitoring tools. · Strong documentation abilities for highlyregulated environments (DOE/ANL). · Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite (Word,Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Teams) and Microsoft Power BI for data analysis andreporting. · Proficient in Bluebeam, CAD, and BIM softwarefor technical documentation. · Strong communication, capable of bridgingdiscussions between CBRE, the Client, Client’s Client(s) and associated 3 rd parties (including vendor engineering teams and EOR). · Analytical and strategic thinking for planningand problem-solving. **Talents** · **Analytical** : Objective in identifyingpatterns and root causes through systematic analysis. · **Adaptable** : Thrives in dynamicenvironments, managing multiple priorities effectively. · **Focused** : Maintains clear objectives andfilters actions to achieve goals. · **Responsible** : Takes ownership ofcommitments and delivers results reliably. **Qualifications** · Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, electrical, orrelated engineering field is preferred · PE licensure a plus, especially with experiencein HPC environments or mission-critical facilities. · 3–5 years of experience in data center or HPCfacility operations; exascale or national laboratory experience highlydesirable.
