What you'll do
- Lead electrical engineering evaluation of prospective sites, colocation capacity, and build-to-suit opportunities.
- Own technical assumptions for power distribution topology, capacity, and equipment strategy feeding the pre-construction risk register.
- Assess utility interconnection, on-site generation, and redundancy strategies (N, N+1, 2N) against site conditions and load requirements.
- Recommend Go / No-Go input on electrical feasibility as projects advance through key development milestones.
- Deliver technically validated electrical scope to the Delivery organization with complete documentation and minimized risk.
- Lead electrical due diligence on prospective sites, existing facilities, and colocation capacity under evaluation.
- Evaluate utility capacity, interconnection queue position, substation requirements, and on-site generation/UPS strategy against projected IT load.
- Assess electrical equipment availability, lead times (transformers, switchgear, generators), and vendor constraints that could affect schedule or capex.
- Ensure electrical assumptions are fully integrated into project budgets, capacity models, and schedules.
- Partner with Engineering to define power distribution topology and redundancy strategy appropriate to each site and deal structure.
- Evaluate EPMS/BMS controls integration and electrical system commissioning requirements early in the acquisition process.
- Provide technical input on switchgear, UPS, and generator selection, redundancy strategy, and capex trade-offs across candidate sites.
- Ensure electrical design intent is preserved as deals move from negotiation into development.
- Establish electrical technical readiness criteria as part of project handoff standards.
- Verify electrical design assumptions, equipment specifications, and capacity commitments are complete before turnover to Delivery.
- Identify and resolve electrical technical risks before they impact construction.
- Serve as the primary electrical engineering technical interface across Site Selection, Technical Due Diligence, Development, Energy, and Delivery.
- Coordinate with consulting engineers, utility providers, equipment vendors, and commissioning agents to validate executable electrical strategies.
- Align internal stakeholders and external consultants to prevent technical scope drift as projects move from acquisition into development.
What we're looking for
- 8+ years of experience in data center electrical engineering, power systems design, or mission-critical electrical systems.
- Experience with medium-voltage distribution, switchgear, UPS systems, generators, and utility interconnection for high-density AI/hyperscale environments.
- Strong understanding of electrical capacity planning, redundancy topology (N, N+1, 2N), equipment selection, and capex trade-offs in data center design.
- Experience evaluating electrical feasibility of sites or facilities prior to commercial commitment.
- Excellent communication and executive presentation skills.
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent experience.
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity and building technical evaluation processes where none exist.
Nice to have
- Experience supporting hyperscale data center or AI infrastructure development.
- Experience with EPMS/BMS controls integration and electrical systems commissioning.
- Experience with utility interconnection agreements and interconnection queue strategy.
- Professional Engineer (PE) license or similar professional certification.
- Experience evaluating colocation or build-to-suit electrical infrastructure in a due diligence capacity.
