Senior Electrical Engineer

Engineering, Procurement and Construction

|

Full Time

Metrobloks develops and operates high-density colocation infrastructure in urban metro hubs across North America and Europe. Our sites are purpose-built for AI workloads, hyperscaler deployments, and low-latency enterprise applications — delivering up to 150+ kW/rack with high reliability reaching 5-9’s availability. Active markets include Miami, Phoenix, Detroit, Kansas City, Indianapolis, McAllen, and Paris.

The Senior Electrical Engineer is a core technical contributor responsible for the design, development, and delivery of high-voltage to low voltage electrical systems across Metrobloks' data center pipeline. You will drive electrical design from concept through energization — including medium-voltage distribution, substation integration, UPS infrastructure, generator systems, and critical power architecture — across a diverse pipeline of data center developments with utility service requirements ranging from 24 MW to 1 GW+.

This role works directly with the Engineering, Business Development, Real Estate, and Finance teams to advance site feasibility, coordinate with utilities and AHJs, and ensure electrical infrastructure is designed for modularity, future-proofing, and rapid deployment — core tenets of the Metrobloks platform.

• Lead electrical engineering design for greenfield and adaptive-reuse data center projects, from 13.2 kV to 230 kV service voltage environments
• Develop single-line diagrams, load calculations, fault current analysis, arc flash studies, and site power distribution drawings
• Design medium-voltage switch gear configurations (34.5 kV, 13.8 kV) including substation sizing, transformer selection, and bus duct routing
• Size and specify UPS systems, static transfer switches, PDUs, and generator paralleling switch gear for N+1, and 2N critical power topologies
• Perform short-circuit and coordination studies including arc flash analysis; ensure compliance with NFPA 70, NFPA 110, IEEE standards, and local AHJ requirements

• Lead utility interconnection studies, including capacity requests, substation test fit submissions, and feed count / voltage level negotiations
• Coordinate with transmission and distribution utilities on service entrance design, metering configurations, and protection relay settings
• Support site selection and feasibility analysis by assessing power availability, utility timelines, and energization risk across the active site pipeline
• Partner with Real Estate and Development teams to translate utility constraints into site layout and phasing decisions
• Serve as owner's representative during electrical construction: review submittals, respond to RFIs, and manage scope changes
• Develop and execute integrated system testing (IST), commissioning plans, and energization sequencing
• Conduct site inspections at critical construction milestones; ensure installed systems conform to design intent and specifications

• Collaborate with mechanical engineers on redundancy topology, power-density planning, cooling infrastructure interface, and PUE optimization strategies
• Provide technical input to CIO and Development teams on owner performance requirement, design standards, capex modeling, and value engineering opportunities
• Support vendor qualification and procurement for switch gear, transformers, generators, and UPS — including evaluation of lead time risk

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) from an ABET-accredited program
• 8+ years of electrical engineering experience, with 4+ years focused on mission-critical or data center infrastructure
• Demonstrated expertise in medium-voltage power distribution (13.2 kV – 34.5 kV), including substation and switch gear design
• Experience sizing and specifying critical power equipment: UPS, generators, ATS/STS, PDUs
• Proficiency in power system analysis tools (ETAP, Easy Power, SKM Power Tools, EDSA or…
