Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineer, Engineering Design & Technologists, Building Services Engineer
You design the power systems that can’t fail. Hyperscale campuses, mission critical infrastructure, and aggressive schedules are where you do your best work.
In this role, you’ll own electrical design for complex data center programs from concept through construction, setting the architecture, driving standards, and being the technical voice clients trust.
You’ll shape repeatable, high-performance solutions across multiple sites and phases, while mentoring engineers and elevating quality across the program.
If you’ve led MV/LV distribution and mission critical infrastructure for data centers, we want to talk to you.
What You'll Work OnYou’ll be the senior electrical lead on large mission critical and hyperscale data center work, including:
- End-to-end electrical systems for hyperscale and mission critical data centers
- MV/LV power distribution architecture and documentation
- Utility service coordination and protection strategies
- Mission critical infrastructure: UPS, generators, switch gear, transfer schemes
- Grounding, bonding, and lighting systems
- Short circuit, coordination, and arc flash studies
- Interdisciplinary coordination across MEP/FP, structural, architectural, and BIM/VDC
- Program-level templates, standards, and QA/QC for repeatable delivery
You’ll work within a BIM/VDC environment using tools like Revit and AutoCAD, and support power studies with platforms such as SKM, ETAP, or Easy Power.
The core challenge: deliver resilient, constructable power systems at hyperscale speed, without compromising safety or quality.
What You'll Be Doing- Leading electrical design for mission critical and hyperscale data center projects from programming/basis of design through construction documents and construction administration
- Developing power system architecture, single-line diagrams, load summaries, equipment schedules, and room layouts for MV/LV distribution
- Designing and coordinating systems including utility service, transformers, switch gear/switchboards, UPS, generators, ATS/STS, PDUs/RPPs, grounding/bonding, and lighting
- Coordinating with utilities on service requirements, fault duty, metering, protection, and energization sequencing
- Directing and/or reviewing short circuit, protective device coordination, and arc flash studies and integrating results into the design
- Driving interdisciplinary coordination with mechanical, controls, fire protection, structural/architectural, and BIM/VDC teams to resolve clearances, routing, constructability, and phasing
- Performing senior-level QA/QC reviews to ensure code compliance, client standards alignment, and consistent deliverable quality
- Engaging with clients and contractors through design reviews, OAC meetings, RFIs and submittals, field observations, and technical issue resolution
- Mentoring designers and engineers and supporting development of details, templates, and repeatable standards
- Contributing to pursuits and scoping with clear electrical narratives, assumptions, and effort estimates
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent)
- 8+ years of progressive electrical engineering experience with significant mission critical/data center delivery; hyperscale experience strongly preferred
- Proven ability to lead projects and produce coordinated construction documents (SD/DD/CD) in a multi-discipline environment
- Strong working knowledge of NEC/NFPA 70 and familiarity with electrical safety concepts and NFPA 70E principles
- Experience designing MV/LV power distribution and mission critical infrastructure including UPS, generators, switch gear, and transfer schemes
- Proficiency with Revit and/or AutoCAD and comfort…
