About the role
We are seeking a Data Center Civil Engineer to lead the interpretation and application of civil infrastructure requirements for Armada's modular data center deployments.ย
This role is focused on ensuring our standardized modules can beย permitted, sited, and deployed across diverseย jurisdictionsย without late-stage redesign. You will serve as the internal authority onย civil site requirements, translating local codes, site constraints, and AHJ expectations into clear inputs for product, engineering, and delivery teams.ย
This is a strategic, cross-functional position at the intersection ofย civil infrastructure, permitting, and modular deployment execution.ย
