The Fire Protection Engineer is a shared resource covering suppression, detection, and life-safety design review across Hut 8’s data center projects, coordinating AHJ and insurer (FM Global) requirements. Fire protection in a data center sits at the intersection of three demanding stakeholders - code, the insurer, and operations - and this role keeps all three satisfied without compromising uptime philosophy. Some of the key responsibilities you should expect are the following: Suppression & Detection Design Review Review suppression designs (pre-action, clean agent, water mist, chemical/ESS-specific systems) and detection designs (VESDA/aspirating, spot detection, linear heat) across projects for code compliance, FM Global data sheet conformance, and program standards. Verify zoning and coverage against the actual room-by-room hazard picture, including battery/energy-storage areas. AHJ Coordination Own fire protection permitting interfaces: plan submittals, variance requests, and inspection support through acceptance testing. Build working relationships with fire marshals across jurisdictions and resolve interpretation issues before they hit the schedule. Insurer (FM Global) Coordination Drive FM Global engagement across the portfolio: plan reviews, data sheet compliance, jockey/fire pump and water supply requirements, and field engineering visits. Negotiate practical resolutions where FM requirements and design intent conflict. Cross-Discipline Integration Coordinate FP scope with mechanical, electrical, and controls: fan shutdown and damper sequences, EPO philosophy, suppression interlocks, and alarm integration into the BMS/monitoring stack. Ensure the FP system’s behavior during an event is designed, not discovered. Acceptance & Commissioning Support Support acceptance testing of suppression and detection systems, integrated testing of interlocks and sequences, and closure of FP punch items through turnover. Program Standards Maintain FP standards, specifications, and typical details across the portfolio, and track evolving code and FM requirements for AI-era densities and liquid cooling.
