Job description

Experienced Electrical Engineer to support the design, construction, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of electrical systems for mission-critical data center facilities. The successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring the reliability, availability, safety, and efficiency of electrical infrastructure, including power distribution systems, UPS systems, generators, switchgear, transformers, protection systems, and associated low-voltage systems.

Key Responsibilities

Electrical Design & Engineering

• Review and develop electrical designs, drawings, specifications, and technical documentation for data center facilities.
• Design and review electrical power distribution systems, including MV/LV systems, transformers, switchgear, busduct/busway, panels, and distribution boards.
• Review sizing and selection of cables, circuit breakers, transformers, generators, UPS systems, and other electrical equipment.
• Perform electrical load calculations, short-circuit studies, voltage-drop calculations, and protection coordination studies.
• Review single-line diagrams (SLDs), schematics, wiring diagrams, equipment layouts, and electrical schedules.
• Ensure electrical designs comply with applicable international and local codes and standards.

Critical Power Systems

• Provide engineering support for UPS, battery systems, standby generators, ATS/STS, switchgear, and critical power distribution.
• Support electrical redundancy and resiliency requirements such as N+1, 2N, and distributed-redundant configurations.
• Review power availability and capacity requirements for IT loads and mechanical systems.
• Support testing and verification of electrical systems under normal, emergency, and failure conditions.

Construction & Installation

• Monitor electrical installation activities and verify compliance with approved drawings, specifications, method statements, and quality requirements.
• Inspect installation of MV/LV equipment, cables, containment, grounding, lighting, and electrical distribution systems.
• Coordinate with contractors, consultants, vendors, and other MEP disciplines.
• Review material submittals, shop drawings, RFIs, technical submittals, and method statements.
• Identify and resolve technical issues during construction.

Testing & Commissioning

• Support pre-commissioning, testing, and commissioning of electrical systems.
• Review and witness FAT, SAT, pre-functional testing, functional performance testing, and integrated systems testing (IST).
• Participate in generator, UPS, switchgear, protection, ATS/STS, and emergency-power testing.
• Verify electrical system performance under simulated failure and transfer scenarios.
• Review commissioning documentation, test reports, and punch lists.

Operations & Maintenance

• Support preventive and corrective maintenance activities for critical electrical infrastructure.
• Troubleshoot electrical faults and equipment failures.
• Analyze electrical incidents and support root-cause analysis and corrective actions.
• Review maintenance procedures, switching procedures, emergency operating procedures, and standard operating procedures.
• Maintain accurate electrical documentation, equipment records, and as-built drawings.
• Support electrical capacity planning and infrastructure upgrades.

Safety & Compliance

• Ensure compliance with electrical safety requirements, applicable regulations, and company procedures.
• Participate in electrical safety programs, risk assessments, and permit-to-work processes.
• Support safe isolation, switching, lockout/tagout (LOTO), and energization activities.
• Ensure electrical works are executed in accordance with approved risk assessments and method statements.

Required Qualifications
