About this role
Key Responsibilities
- --- Lead the design review and technical oversight of electrical systems for newbuild data centres, including medium-voltage (MV) and low-voltage (LV) distribution, backup power, grounding, and lighting. --- Prepare and evaluate electrical specifications, single-line diagrams, equipment schedules, and construction documentation in compliance with NEC, IEEE, NFPA 70E, and local regulations. --- Assess and recommend critical power equipment—including utility substations, switchgear, transformers, UPS systems, generators, and PDUs—based on reliability, redundancy (N+1, 2N), and maintainability. --- Conduct load flow studies, short-circuit analyses, arc flash hazard assessments, and power quality evaluations to ensure system safety and performance. --- Review contractor submittals, respond to RFIs, and perform site inspections to verify installation quality, code compliance, and adherence to design intent. --- Support commissioning of electrical systems, including generator load bank testing, UPS runtime validation, automatic transfer switch (ATS) sequencing, and grounding verification. --- Collaborate with mechanical, structural, and IT teams to integrate electrical infrastructure with cooling, rack layout, and facility monitoring systems. --- Evaluate opportunities for energy efficiency, renewable integration, and smart grid technologies within the electrical design. --- Maintain awareness of evolving standards (e.g., Uptime Institute Tier requirements, ISO/IEC 27001) and emerging trends such as DC power distribution or modular electrical skids.
