Job Responsibilities:
Capacity Planning & Management
· Develop and maintain data centre capacity models (power, cooling, space, network, and compute).
· Forecast short-term and long-term capacity requirements based on business growth and project pipelines.
· Monitor utilisation trends and recommend optimisation strategies.
· Ensure adequate capacity is available to meet SLA and performance requirements.
Engineering & Design
· Support design and deployment of data centre infrastructure (rack layouts, power distribution, cooling systems).
· Collaborate with design teams to ensure scalability, redundancy, and efficiency (e.g., Tier standards).
· Review and approve engineering designs, drawings, and technical specifications.
· Ensure compliance with industry standards and best practices.
Project Support
· Work closely with project managers to align capacity planning with project timelines.
· Provide technical input during project planning, execution, and commissioning phases.
· Coordinate with vendors, contractors, and internal stakeholders.
Operational Optimization
· Identify opportunities to improve efficiency (e.g., PUE optimisation, load balancing).
· Implement tools and dashboards for capacity tracking and reporting.
· Support incident analysis related to capacity constraints or engineering failures.
Stakeholder Management
• Liaise with IT, operations, and business units to gather requirements.
• Communicate capacity risks, constraints, and recommendations to leadership.
• Prepare reports and presentations for senior management.
Job Requirements
· Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field. Master’s degree is a plus.
· 5–10+ years of experience in data center engineering, capacity planning, or infrastructure management.
· Experience with hyperscale or colocation data centers preferred.
· Proven experience in capacity modeling and forecasting.
· Strong knowledge of
o Data center power and cooling systems (UPS, HVAC, CRAC/CRAH).
o Rack capacity planning and space optimisation.
o Network and compute infrastructure basics.
o Familiarity with DCIM tools and monitoring systems.
o Understanding of redundancy standards (e.g., N, N+1, 2N).
