Full-time

Our client is a developer in the mission-critical and data center space, currently advancing a phased, power-first data center campus. The company manages the full scope of electrical and energy infrastructure required to energize the campus, including utility interconnection, substations, onsite generation, and battery energy storage systems (BESS), working directly with serving utilities, generation partners, and grid stakeholders.

This role manages the electrical and energy infrastructure required to energize a high-density data center campus, including utility interconnection, substations, transmission/distribution, onsite generation, BESS, switch gear, and controls interfaces.
