Civil Site Engineer - Data Centers

Armada is a full-stack edge infrastructure company delivering compute, connectivity, and sovereign AI/ML to some of the world’s most remote places. They are seeking a Civil Site Engineer - Data Centers to lead the interpretation and application of civil infrastructure requirements for modular data center deployments, ensuring compliance with local codes and site constraints.

Responsibilities:

• Own interpretation of civil and site development requirements impacting modular data center deployments, including:
• Site preparation, grading, and access
• Foundations, anchoring, and structural interfaces
• Utility coordination (power, grounding, water, drainage)
• Fire/life safety site considerations (setbacks, access, egress)
• Evaluate jurisdiction-specific codes, permitting pathways, and AHJ expectations
• Identify constraints affecting module siting, layout, and deployment feasibility
• Support design development as needed by translating site conditions, permitting constraints, utility requirements, and constructability considerations into actionable inputs for engineering and external GC's/civil consultants
• Partner with product, engineering, and delivery teams to:
• Translate civil requirements into clear constraints, risks, and design inputs
• Provide early-stage feasibility assessments and go/no-go recommendations
• Prevent non-standard site conditions from driving late-stage design changes
• Support customer deployments by:
• Assessing site-specific civil readiness
• Coordinating with OEM partners and local civil consultants
• Advising on alignment with Armada’s standard SKUs vs. required customization
• Develop and maintain:
• Civil requirement guidelines for modular deployments
• Site readiness and permitting checklists by geography
• Documentation that standardizes civil assumptions across projects
• Capture recurring requirements and regional patterns to:
• Improve deployment speed and consistency
• Inform product and platform evolution

Requirements:

• 6+ years in civil engineering, site development, or infrastructure delivery
• Experience with data centers, critical facilities, or large-scale infrastructure projects
• Proven ability to operate across permitting, site execution, and cross-functional teams
• Experience managing consultants, vendors, and project stakeholders
• Strong understanding of site development (grading, drainage, access, utilities)
• Foundations and structural interfaces for prefabricated or modular systems
• Utility coordination, especially electrical service and grounding
• Fire/life safety considerations at the site level
• Ability to interpret codes, standards, and AHJ requirements and translate them into actionable guidance
