IKG Talent; Sydney; Hybrid; AUD 148,000 - 156,000; Full time

Job summary

EnergyCo NSW in Sydney is seeking an Electrical Lead for ANZ Data Centre projects. You will hold technical accountability across a portfolio of live works, guiding design teams and ensuring delivery from design through commissioning and handover.

You will shape engineering standards, support client relationships and mentor junior engineers. The role combines technical leadership with strategic influence in a fast-growing data centre environment.

Qualifications

• A strong track record delivering complex electrical engineering on data centre, mission-critical or comparable advanced facilities projects.
• Experience running multidisciplinary teams through large, technically demanding builds.
• Solid grounding in the electrical systems that underpin mission-critical environments (redundancy, resilience, power distribution).
• A history of working directly with major clients — not just delivering to a brief, but shaping it.
• Strong commercial instincts: understanding of risk, programme and how engineering decisions land commercially.
• Chartered status and a relevant electrical engineering qualification.

Responsibilities

• Owning electrical delivery across a live portfolio of mission-critical projects, from early design through to commissioning and handover.
• Directing multidisciplinary design teams and keeping delivery on track at each project stage.
• Setting the bar on engineering quality — reviewing designs, signing off critical deliverables and catching issues before they become problems.
• Balancing technical rigour against commercial reality: cost, programme and risk all matter alongside the engineering.
• Acting as a trusted technical voice for clients, and building relationships that bring in repeat and referral work.
• Developing the electrical engineers around you, so capability grows across the team, not just within one role.
