Senior Project Manager Hydraulic Modeler - Construction

About this role

Senior Project Manager Hydraulic Modeler - Construction About the role CBRE is looking for a Data Center Hydraulic Modeler to support the client’s data center construction program within the Execution Engineering (ExE) team as a hydraulic modeler! This includes the hydraulic modeling of piping systems, reviewing hydraulic models produced by consultants and providing feedback, and general design work What you’ll do Review and understand the client’s piping design guidelines and hydraulic constraints. Review piping system designs and be capable of providing rule of thumb feedback prior to modeling. Capture and validate data for model input, including topography, pipe networks, pump curves, valve and heat exchanger curves, and operational parameters. Input piping system design into a hydraulic modeling tool accurately pulling dimensions from PDFs, CAD, or Revit. Identify key failure scenarios that require analysis and add the scenarios to the model. Assist in densifying hydronic loads by employing creativity and resourcefulness Calibrate models to ensure they accurately represent real-world conditions after construction and commissioning has been completed. Run simulations to evaluate system performance, predict potential scenarios, and identify bottlenecks or vulnerabilities. Assess a system's capacity under various demands, flow conditions, and water quality parameters. Analyze water pressure, flow rates, velocities, and potential for water hammer. Propose and evaluate design solutions for system expansion, rehabilitation, or new construction. Model proposed scenarios to identify and optimize pipe sizing, pump selection, and storage facility requirements. Evaluate failure scenarios of dual flow path systems to analyze resilience and identify single points of failure. Prepare and communicate clear and concise technical reports, documentation, and presentations summarizing modeling results and design recommendations. Effectively collaborate with project managers, engineers, and other collaborators to ensure modeling goals align with project requirements. Present modeling findings to external parties and stakeholders, as needed. Peer review A/E design consultants’ hydraulic model deliverables and provide comments resolutions in accordance with established engineering standards and client requirements. Flag issues or deviations and work with A/E consultants on remediation or improvements. Assist in developing scopes of work to procure hydraulic modeling services from A/E consultants. Create general sketches, docs, spreadsheets and/or presentations where needed. What You’ll Need Bachelor's Degree preferred with 8-10 years of relevant experience. In lieu of a degree, a combination of experience and education will be considered. The innovative mentality to develop methods that go beyond existing solutions. Proficiency in hydraulic modeling software (Pipeflo and AFT Fathom) is required. Proficiency in engineering drafting tools (AutoCAD, Bluebeam Revu, and Revit) is required. Experience and knowledge of working with cross-disciplinary teams, including structural, civil, IT/Telecom, security, mechanical, electrical, and architectural. Solid understanding of large-scale, data center infrastructure. Familiarity with Google Workspace and its related products (Sheets, Docs, Slides). Pipe Stress Analysis and/or CFD experience (Bentley AutoPipe, Star-CCM+, ANSYS/Fluent, MicroFlo, and/or 6Sigma) is helpful Ability to solve unique problems using standard and innovative solutions having a broad impact on the business.
