About the job

Our thirst for technology is a part of everything we do. The Data Center Engineering team takes the physical design of our data centers into the future. Our lab mirrors a research and development department -- cutting-edge strategies are born, tested and tested again. Along with a team of great minds, you take on complex topics like how we use power or how to run state-of-the-art, environmentally-friendly facilities. You're a visionary who optimizes for efficiencies and never stops seeking improvements -- even small changes that can make a huge impact. You generate ideas, communicate recommendations to senior-level executives and drive implementation alongside facilities technicians.

With your technical expertise, you ensure compliance with codes and standards, develop infrastructure improvements and serve as an expert in your specialty (e.g., cooling, electrical).

As a Manager of Data Center Engineering (Execution Engineering), you will lead the end-to-end delivery of hyperscale infrastructure, overseeing civil, structural, geotechnical, and water/wastewater systems from site due diligence, design through final commissioning and supporting Operations. You will act as the technical authority, collaborating with cross-functional teams, external A/E partners, and general contractors to ensure projects are delivered safely, on schedule, and within budget. You will also manage a group of experienced engineers: civil, structural, geotech water and waste water.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them.
