ABOUT HUT 8

Imagine the ultimate destination for those who want to work at the cutting edge of technology, energy, and infrastructure. Hut 8 is on a mission to build and operate some of the world’s largest data centers for next-generation computing workloads, including AI, Colocation, Cloud, and Bitcoin Mining. We are proud to offer interesting and challenging opportunities for individuals who want to build teams, solve problems, and make an impact from day one. If you’re an ambitious individual looking for a career that is as rewarding as it is challenging, you’ve come to the right place.

Hut 8 is seeking a highly skilled and technically driven Director, Data Center Engineering to lead all data center engineering efforts across greenfield developments and the modification of existing assets. Reporting to the Senior Vice President, Data Center Development, this role will serve as the technical cornerstone for project execution—bridging sales strategy, engineering design, permitting, and consultant management.
You will oversee multidisciplinary engineering efforts and manage architectural and engineering (A&E) consultants through formal design and permitting phases. With a focus on both innovation and execution, you’ll ensure that every data center development is built on a strong, scalable, and compliant technical foundation.
Some of the key responsibilities you should expect are the following:

Engineering Leadership

• Own all engineering efforts related to data center infrastructure, including greenfield developments and the modification or expansion of existing facilities.
• Lead coordination of civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical (CSME) disciplines to deliver integrated, cost-effective, and technically sound solutions.
• Translate sales and solutions engineering inputs into actionable, engineered design programs.
• Collaborate with internal teams to validate technical feasibility, cost, and delivery schedules during early-stage and mid-stage planning.
• Provide technical oversight from site planning through execution to ensure engineering design integrity is maintained throughout the lifecycle.

A&E Consultant Management

• Manage architectural and engineering (A&E) consultants from conceptual design through formal permit sets and construction documentation.
• Act as the primary liaison to A&E prime consultants, owning contractual negotiation and coordination of scope under AIA agreements.
• Drive permitting strategy in collaboration with local authorities, consultants, and development teams to ensure full entitlement and regulatory compliance.
• Ensure formal design execution meets Hut 8’s technical standards, local code requirements, and project timelines.
• Interface regularly with legal, real estate, and construction stakeholders to align technical deliverables with broader project milestones.
