Job description

General

• Responsible for all mechanical/electrical related technical solution engineering for major Data Center Projects in APAC.
• Develop and manage complete scope from initiation to onsite delivery of mechanical systems related to the diesel genset enclosure.

Tendering Matters

• Work closely with sales to define the technical scope.
• Review/clarify customer’s specifications & tender documents.
• Review and finalize the C/D/E document.
• Provide the technical specifications and define the scope of supply for the equipment.
• Coordinate with factory and local suppliers to harmonize the scope of supply.
• Work with suppliers/contractors to quote for the equipment and obtain proposals timely.

Solution Engineering Matters

• Define and develop electrical and mechanical system requirements for walk-in genset enclosures aligned with project specifications.
• Deliver end-to-end design solutions, including electrical/automation and mechanical designs, supported by detailed engineering drawings and technical documentation.
• Perform engineering calculations and technical evaluations to verify designs and ensure optimal equipment and supplier selection.
• Ensure all designs comply with relevant industry standards, codes, and regulatory requirements.
• Leverage engineering tools, technical databases, and factory standards to deliver high‑quality, standardized solutions.
• Support project lifecycle through technical issue resolution, knowledge management, and delivery of presentations and training to stakeholders.

Order Execution

• Review and approve all technical documentation (drawings, schematics, P&IDs, datasheets) to ensure compliance with customer specifications.
• Define and finalize equipment scope, manage procurement alignment, and raise purchase requisitions.
• Provide technical support and troubleshoot issues across electrical, automation, and mechanical systems during project execution.
• Drive continuous improvement through design reviews and lessons learned to enhance system performance and efficiency.

Other Matters

• Support procurement in supplier development.
• Update oneself with the technical developments of the market and internal products.
• Travel overseas on business, when required.

Requirements

• University / college studies in Mechanical or Electrical or Mechatronics engineering.
• Proven experience in the diesel engine/generator industry, min. 5 years with track record of successfully delivered projects and solutions.
• Deep expertise in either electrical or mechanical genset systems (automation, protection, cooling, fuel, ventilation), with the ability to integrate cross‑disciplinary knowledge into optimized genset enclosure designs; complementary competency in the other domain is an advantage.
• Strong capability in engineering calculations across electrical (e.g., load flow, short circuit) and/or mechanical systems (e.g., sizing, thermal/airflow performance).
• Proven track record in conceptualizing and delivering complex electro‑mechanical solutions, with a focus on performance optimization and cost efficiency.
• Proficient in developing and reviewing technical documentation (e.g., schematics, wiring diagrams, system layouts), with deep specialization in either electrical or mechanical engineering, and functional competency in the other discipline; experience in data centers, switchgear, and power protection systems is an added advantage.
• Willingness to travel for onsite jobs when needed, demonstrating flexibility and adaptability to meet project requirements and deadlines effectively.
• Proficient in 2D/3D CAD software.
