ABOUT THE ROLE

Hut 8 is on a mission to build and operate some of the world's largest data centers for next-generation computing workloads. As an Associate, Project Engineer, you will support our lead engineer in all phases of the facility development lifecycle—from design and engineering, procurement to construction, commissioning, and ongoing operations. This hands-on role offers the opportunity to own critical aspects of project execution in a fast-paced, cutting-edge industry. 

Some of the key responsibilities you should expect are the following:

• Collaborate on the design and engineering of custom cooling solutions, ensuring alignment with project specifications and industry standards.
• Use engineering drawings to create Requests for Proposals (RFPs), perform quantity takeoffs, and determine Bills of Materials (BOMs) for procurement.
• Manage procurement processes, including vendor sourcing, material selection, and supply chain coordination to meet timelines and budgets.
• Interface with internal and external design engineers, contractors, and stakeholders to resolve technical challenges and iterate on system designs.
• Assist in commissioning activities, including system testing, integration, and performance validation.
• Develop and compile commissioning documentation, such as as-built drawings, test reports, and handover packages.
• Create Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for cooling system maintenance and troubleshooting.
• Train operational teams on system functionality, safety protocols, and best practices post-commissioning.
• Manage contractors on-site, ensuring work is performed safely, efficiently, and in compliance with project standards.
• Identify and resolve issues during manufacturing, construction, or operations through proactive problem-solving and root-cause analysis.

ABOUT YOU

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• Proficiency in interpreting engineering drawings, performing takeoffs, and developing BOMs and RFPs.
• Knowledge of engineering design tools (e.g., AutoCAD, SolidWorks)
• Proven ability to interface with cross-functional teams, including engineers, vendors, contractors, and operations staff.
• Excellent problem-solving skills with a hands-on approach to troubleshooting in manufacturing or construction settings.
• Familiarity with Bitcoin mining infrastructure or high-density computing environments is a plus.
• Ability to travel to project sites as needed and thrive in a collaborative, entrepreneurial setting.

ABOUT THE WORK ENVIRONMENT

This role is primarily based at our data center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana with travel to other sites and locations as needed. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
