• Emergency diesel generation systems
• Critical power distribution to IT loads
• Design power systems from utility interconnection through rack-level PDUs, including:
• Switchgear specifications
• Transformer sizing
• Bus duct routing
• Branch circuit distribution
• Perform:
• Load analysis
• Short circuit studies
• Arc flash analysis
• Protective device coordination
• Harmonic distortion assessments
• Develop single-line diagrams, panel schedules, grounding systems, lighting design, and raceway layouts for data center environments
• Coordinate with utility providers on service entrance, redundant feeds, and capacity planning
• Oversee construction administration including submittals, RFIs, site observations, commissioning support, and integrated systems testing
• Serve as a technical cornerstone of the electrical discipline, helping define best practices, standards, and scalable design approaches
• Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership across projects, contributing to the growth and development of the electrical engineering team

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (ABET-accredited)
• Professional Engineer (PE) license required
• 7+ years of electrical engineering experience
• 2–5+ years focused on data center or mission-critical facilities
• Strong experience with:
• 480V/277V systems
• Medium voltage power systems
• Generator paralleling
• Automatic transfer switches
• Proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit MEP, SKM PowerTools (or equivalent)
• Experience leading projects exceeding $50M in construction value
• Strong client-facing communication and leadership skills

Preferred Experience

• Hyperscale (100MW+) data center campuses
• Uptime Institute standards and ASHRAE TC 9.9 familiarity
• Renewable energy integration or energy storage systems
• LEED AP, CEM, RCDD, or Uptime certifications
• Government/DOD facility experience

Why Consider This Role?

• Opportunity to help build and scale a growing electrical engineering division
• Lead large-scale hyperscale and enterprise data center projects
• High level of technical ownership and leadership visibility
• Strong project pipeline and long-term growth potential
• Hybrid flexibility
