Job description

About Overwatch Mission Critical Overwatch is a service-disabled Veteran-owned small business (SDVOB) certified through the National Veterans Business Development Council (NVBDC), offering construction professional services, talent acquisition, and general contractor services for the mission-critical infrastructure industry. Our mission is the construction and management of state-of-the-art data centers with the precision and reliability this industry demands. From high-end engineers to seasoned professionals, we deploy the people you need to get your data center off the ground. At Overwatch, it's more than a job. It's a purpose. Overview The job is design and OFCI ownership for mechanical systems, not site operations. The team's description says the director supports innovation and campus master planning so facilities stay cost-effective and energy efficient. Approve contract documents produced by outside design consultants, and keep those designs on schedule and on budget. Give engineering guidance on projects, operations, and systems in existing facilities. Write and maintain equipment specifications for owner-furnished, contractor-installed (OFCI) mechanical equipment and systems. Support procurement of that OFCI gear: vendor submittal review, approvals, and factory witness testing. Maintain the legacy basis of design and help write new basis-of-design documents for new business needs. Recommend and implement technologies that cut energy use and cost. Set and enforce engineering and design standards, policies, and security measures. Stay current on data center engineering and design trends.

Physical Requirements and Work Environment This position operates primarily in an active data center construction environment, encompassing both indoor and outdoor work settings. The role requires the physical ability to perform essential job functions safely and effectively in a dynamic environment that includes ongoing construction activity and evolving site conditions. The work environment includes areas and temporary structures owned, leased, or controlled by third parties over which Overwatch may have limited or no control. Because the project remains under construction, certain areas of the site — including access routes, staging zones, and temporary structures — may not yet be fully ADA-compliant until construction is complete or those third-party areas are finalized.
