Solutions Architect

Overview Evergreen is expanding our Data Center Build & Critical Environment practice, and we’re looking for a Data Center Solution Architect who can bridge the gap between business needs and physical data center realization. In this role, you will architect services to produce high availability, high density, and construction-ready solutions across power, cooling, white space, and life-safety systems. You’ll guide clients through complex infrastructure decisions, lead technical scope development, partner with engineering and construction teams, and ensure the services you design perform as intended through commissioning and handover. If you enjoy shaping mission critical environments, influencing system topologies, and pushing data center capabilities forward—this is the role. Responsibilities Architect Services to Complete Construction Phase Objectives Translate capacity and redundancy requirements into power, cooling, and construction scopes of work across each phase of the data center build lifecycle Account for industry best practices and standard strategies when building services (N+1, 2N, DR), whitespace layouts, containment, and high density/GPU cooling strategies (air, chilled water, liquid cooling). Lead Technical Scoping, Solutioning & Support Delivery Build proposals that define the people, process, governance, tooling and commercial structure to required to complete construction and engineering projects and workstreams Develop SOWs, performance criteria, design assumptions, and construction-ready scopes. Partner & Influence Facilitate technical workshops with Facilities, Engineering, Procurement, and Executive stakeholders. Evaluate OEM solutions across performance, cost, scalability, and TCO. Standardize & Innovate Identify repeatable patterns and help build modular offerings (GPU retrofit packages, modular pods, etc.). Contribute to playbooks, templates, and best practices that scale Evergreen’s delivery model. Qualifications Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or Construction Management. 5+ years in data center design, mission critical construction, critical facilities engineering, or commissioning, preferably in hyperscale or colocation data centers. Strong understanding of UPS systems, switchgear, generators, chilled water/DX cooling, containment, fire & life safety, and high density/GPU cooling trends. Familiarity with Tier standards, TIA 942, ASHRAE TC 9.9, NFPA codes, and data center design and operational best practices. Ability to develop and defend CAPEX/OPEX models, evaluate vendor bids, and write detailed technical SOWs. Skilled at simplifying complex engineering decisions for non-technical leaders and driving alignment across multiple stakeholders.
