Solution Architect Data Centre Infrastructure
Application completed on Vertiv
About This Role
This role is for data centre designers who don’t just create concepts—but
deliver infrastructure that gets built, commissioned, and operated at scale.
As part of the Infrastructure Solutions business unit, our prefabricated
division, you will represent the full capability of the organization in front of
customers; translating requirements into integrated, world-class data centre
solutions.
You will operate at the intersection of engineering, delivery, and client
engagement—owning the journey from initial concept through to real-world
deployment. This is not a pure design role; it requires individuals who
understand what works on paper and what performs in live environments.
Success in this role is built on three core pillars:
* Design Depth — Strong mechanical and electrical design capability across data
centre systems, with cross-discipline awareness
* Operational Reality — Experience with constructed, commissioned, and running
facilities
* Customer Leadership — Ability to engage clients, translate requirements, and
shape solutions that deliver measurable value
DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES:
* Solution Development & Presales Support
* Translate customer requirements into solution concepts using approved
architectures and standards
* Develop technical proposals, solution descriptions, and Bills of Material
* Support Sales with technical input during customer engagements,
presentations, and clarifications
* Application of Standards & Architectures
* Apply Vertiv reference architectures, redundancy models, and design
guidelines
* Ensure solutions align with portfolio positioning, cost models, and
delivery constraints
* Identify deviations from standard architectures and escalate when required
* Cross-Functional Collaboration
* Work closely with internal engineering disciplines (electrical, mechanical,
controls, services)
* Coordinate inputs from internal specialists and support functions
* Support smooth handover of solutions into execution phases
* Quality & Risk Awareness
* Ensure solutions meet defined technical, compliance, and customer
requirements
* Highlight technical risks, assumptions, and dependencies clearly
* Support validation against applicable standards (e.g. Tier intent,
redundancy philosophy)
* Continuous Improvement
* Capture lessons learned from executed projects
* Contribute feedback to improve reference designs, tools, and solution
guidelines
* Actively develop technical and commercial understanding of Vertiv’s
offerings
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:
* Technical degree (Electrical, Mechanical, or related engineering discipline)
* 6-8 years experience in presales, design, or solution engineering in
infrastructure / data centre environments
* Solid understanding of power, cooling, and infrastructure system concepts
* Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills
* Willingness to travel (~20%)
