Data Center Construction Senior Electrical Design Engineer

Responsibilities

You will serve as the senior technical lead for electrical design on complex, large-scale data center and mission-critical infrastructure projects, guiding projects from concept through commissioning and final turnover

You will lead and oversee a team of electrical engineers and designers, establishing consistent design standards, reviewing deliverables, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement and technical excellence

You will act as the primary liaison between internal departments, engineers of record (EoR), external consultants, and contractors to resolve complex electrical design challenges and drive timely, code-compliant solutions

You will oversee the development, review, and quality control of all electrical documentation including one-line diagrams, load calculations, panel schedules, arc flash studies, short circuit analyses, submittals, and RFIs

You will lead the evaluation and integration of emerging technologies to enhance the efficiency, reliability, and scalability of electrical infrastructure in data center environments

You will drive proactive schedule and budget management by identifying design bottlenecks, evaluating cost impacts of design changes, and maintaining accountability across EoR and contractor teams

You will ensure all electrical systems fully comply with applicable codes and standards including NEC, IEEE, and IEC, while mitigating technical and project risk throughout the design lifecycle

You will lead risk assessments, factory acceptance testing (FAT), site acceptance testing (SAT), and commissioning activities, including milestone inspections and system integration verification

You will partner closely with mechanical, controls, and architectural disciplines to ensure full integration of electrical systems into the broader project design framework

You will develop and maintain lessons-learned documentation, contributing to ongoing improvements in design processes, standards, and project delivery methodologies

You will provide field support during construction, conducting walkthroughs, resolving installation issues, and ensuring a successful handoff to operations

You will contribute to the development and continuous refinement of internal design standards, templates, and best practices across the electrical discipline
