Our client is a leading data centre operator, growing quickly.
About the Role
This position is responsible for leading electrical solution development, design oversight, and technical governance for largescale, data center facilities. The role works closely with customers, internal stakeholders, vendors, and project teams to deliver highperformance, energyefficient, and reliable electrical infrastructure solutions.
Responsibilities
- Customer & Technical Solution Engagement
- Engage directly with clients and project stakeholders to understand electrical capacity needs, redundancy expectations, and system performance requirements.
- Provide expert technical consultation and develop conceptual design strategies that support availability, efficiency, and scalability targets.
- Collaborate with commercial and presales teams to shape technical proposals, equipment strategies, and earlystage powerdistribution concepts for bids and tenders.
- Electrical Design Leadership
- Lead and coordinate the electrical design scope for missioncritical projects, covering MV/LV distribution, UPS configurations, switchgear, busway systems, standby generation, and emergency power solutions.
- Develop system architecture, singleline diagrams, powerflow models, and faultlevel analyses to ensure safety, performance, and regulatory compliance.
- Review consultant or contractor design packages to ensure accuracy, alignment with design intent, and constructability.
- Technical Governance & Design Reviews
- Deliver technical leadership in alignment with recognised engineering standards, including applicable international codes and missioncritical design frameworks.
- Conduct structured design reviews at key project phases (concept, schematic, detailed design, IFC).
- Ensure solutions are optimized for cost efficiency, longterm maintainability, reliability, and modular expansion.
- Compliance, Standards & Quality Assurance
- Ensure electrical systems comply with local regulations, industry codes, and internal engineering guidelines.
- Maintain and enhance internal design frameworks, engineering references, and technical standards.
- Implement qualitycontrol and assurance processes to validate the completeness and accuracy of all design outputs.
- Innovation & System Performance Optimization
- Drive the adoption of advanced electrical technologies, such as modular switchgear, highefficiency UPS systems, innovative busway distribution, and hybrid/renewable power integration.
- Conduct systemreliability assessments, including failuremode analysis, and identify opportunities for improving powerdistribution efficiency.
- Vendor, Contractor & Stakeholder Coordination
- Coordinate with equipment suppliers to evaluate solutions based on lifecycle cost, performance, reliability, and project requirements.
- Support construction and commissioning teams by providing technical guidance, clarifications, and issueresolution support throughout project execution.
- Participate in factory tests, site inspections, and commissioning reviews where required.
- Documentation & Reporting
- Produce and maintain detailed technical documentation including specifications, design reports, schematics, testing records, and project closeout materials.
- Support internal reporting on design progress, risks, engineering decisions, and technical cost considerations.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
- Advanced qualifications or a Professional Engineer (PE) license are advantageous.
Required Skills
- 810 years of electrical design or engineering management experience in missioncritical or highreliability environments.
- Demonstrated experience leading full electrical design cycles from concept to completion.
- Experience with redundant power architectures (N, N+1, 2N) and highavailability infrastructure.
- Prior exposure to largescale facilities, ideally exceeding 20 MW of critical load.
Preferred Skills
- Strong knowledge of MV/LV systems, UPS technologies, standby generation, grounding/earthing design, and powerdistribution solutions.
- Competent in powersystem analysis including loadflow, shortcircuit, and protectioncoordination studies.
- Familiarity with energystorage systems, renewable integration, or onsite generation solutions is a plus.
- Thorough understanding of relevant international and local electrical codes.
