What are the responsibilities and job description for the Civil/Structural Engineer position at hut8?
BUILT DIFFERENT
We believe there's a better way to build. One that moves faster, thinks bigger, and gives people the ownership to challenge what's been done before. We're not here to follow the standard. We're here to set a new one. We don't believe the best work happens inside rigid boxes. People are given real ownership, real responsibility, and the space to operate beyond a title. Scope grows with impact. Responsibility grows with trust. And the people who step up help shape what comes next. We're building an organization around ownership, not hierarchy, where your influence is defined by what you take on, not what's written on your email signature.
ABOUT THE ROLE
The infrastructure is ambitious. The people behind it should be too.
We need a Civil & Structural Engineer who thinks from first principles, questions convention, and wants the weight of owning the outcome. Someone who can design it, stand behind it, solve for it in the field, and build the runway as they go.
WHAT YOU'LL OWN
Design it: Own civil and structural design end-to-end: foundations, structural steel and concrete framing, site grading and drainage, and equipment anchorage.
Stamp it: Take professional responsibility for calculations, drawings, and specifications as Engineer of Record, not a reviewer of someone else's work, the author of it.
Build it: Stay close to construction, resolve field conflicts in real time, and sign off only when it's actually right.
Challenge it: Push on cost, constructability, and third-party engineering deliverables without cutting the corners that matter.
WHAT YOU BRING
Active Professional Engineer (PE) license.
7 years designing civil and structural systems for data centers, industrial, or other mission-critical facilities.
Working knowledge of ASCE 7, ACI 318, the AISC Steel Construction Manual, and IBC, backed by hands-on experience with foundations, tilt-up concrete, and pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMB).
Fluency with ETABS, SAP2000, RISA, or similar structural analysis software, and AutoCAD Civil 3D or Revit for design documentation.
Experience working directly with geotechnical engineers, contractors, and construction teams through commissioning.
BUILT FOR THIS
If you are mission-driven, ownership-minded, drawn to hard problems, willing to challenge convention, and ready to build the playbook.
If you aren’t waiting for every answer, looking for layers of approval, leading from a distance, attached to “the way it’s always been done,” or looking for just another role.
BONUS POINTS
10 years and multi-site U.S. data center delivery experience.
Experience with heavy equipment anchorage (generators, transformers, chillers) and raised platform or foundation systems.
Background at a company that self-performs its own builds rather than relying on a GC.
Experience with site grading, drainage, and erosion and sediment control design for large campus sites.
"People are our greatest differentiator: an environment where high performers thrive, where collaboration drives impact, and where careers are shaped by opportunity, not hierarchy."
