Position Overview

Align offers a wide variety of services centered around the data center white space. We are a fit-out specialist who manages the entire white space from conceptual design through execution across the country. Our services include designing layouts, overhead support systems (to support conveyance and electrical systems), power striping/redundancy planning for distribution from PDUs to cabinet receptacles, mechanical distribution from CDU to the rack or server, conduit pathways, and low voltage structured cable infrastructure.

We are seeking an experienced data center liquid cooling specialist to lead planning, estimating, and execution of advanced cooling infrastructure for hyperscale and AI data center white-space fit-outs. The successful candidate will combine hands-on technical expertise with strong project management skills, overseeing liquid cooling systems from design coordination and procurement through installation, testing, commissioning, and turnover. Ideal candidates have managed liquid cooling projects in hyperscale, AI, colocation, or other mission-critical environments and can effectively coordinate engineers, manufacturers, contractors, commissioning agents, operators, and construction teams.

Familiarity with broader data center MEP systems—including electrical distribution, structured cabling, and telecommunications—is a strong plus.

  • This is a full-time salaried role offering $170,000-$210,000 (commensurate with experience) full benefits, project bonuses, paid travel, and advanced training.
  • This position requires 50% travel to project sites nationwide, including AI build locations.
