The Electrical Power Generation Engineer provides technical leadership for the design input, installation, delivery, commissioning, and operational readiness of power-generation systems supporting mission-critical data center operations. The role requires extensive electrical engineering expertise with gas turbines, reciprocating generators, diesel and natural-gas generators, generator paralleling systems, switch gear, protection systems, and associated power-generation equipment.

The engineer works cross-functionally with design, engineering, construction, delivery, commissioning, and operations teams from project initiation through final handover to ensure systems are safe, reliable, maintainable, scalable, and aligned with data center availability.

• Serve as the electrical power-generation subject-matter expert throughout design, construction, commissioning, turnover, and operations support.
• Define electrical system architecture, capacity, redundancy, protection, grounding, controls interfaces, and operational-readiness requirements.
• Lead design and technical reviews for gas turbines, reciprocating generators, diesel and natural-gas generators, alternators, generator step-up transformers, generator breakers, paralleling switch gear, load banks, fuel-system electrical interfaces, and balance-of-plant equipment.
• Develop and validate generator synchronization, load-sharing, paralleling, island-mode, black-start, utility-transfer, and restoration strategies.
• Review electrical one-line diagrams, schematics, cable schedules, protection diagrams, equipment specifications, and vendor submittals.
• Perform or review short‑circuit, load‑flow, arc‑flash, grounding, harmonic, and protective‑device coordination studies.
• Coordinate electrical interfaces between generators, switch gear, transformers, UPS systems, automatic transfer switches, utility service, and data center distribution systems.
• Partner with mechanical, I&C, controls, construction, delivery, commissioning, and operations teams to ensure integrated and operable infrastructure.
• Provide technical oversight during construction, including field inspections, quality reviews, installation verification, change management, punch‑list resolution, and issue escalation.
• Develop and oversee commissioning plans for generator startup, electrical energization, relay testing, switch gear testing, load‑bank testing, integrated systems testing, black‑start testing, and utility‑transfer testing.
• Lead root‑cause analysis for electrical faults, generator trips, protective‑relay operations, power‑quality events, failed starts, and recurring reliability issues.
• Develop electrical operating procedures, maintenance strategies, emergency‑response plans, spare‑parts recommendations, and lifecycle replacement plans.
• Ensure complete turnover documentation, including as‑built drawings, relay settings, test reports, commissioning records, equipment manuals, training materials, warranty information, and asset records.
• Support operations through periodic testing, outage planning, event analysis, capacity upgrades, equipment replacement, and continuous reliability improvement.
• Ensure compliance with applicable electrical safety, environmental, and regulatory requirements.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems Engineering, or a related field.
• 10years+ of extensive experience with electrical power generation, medium‑voltage systems, and mission‑critical or…
