Job description

Role Summary

Provides licensed electrical engineering oversight for permitted and new-construction work, with emphasis on power distribution, grounding and bonding, and coordination between ICT, electrical, and mechanical systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Review, develop, and, where required, stamp electrical drawings and calculations supporting the low-voltage / data hall scope for permitted work, new builds, expansions, and significant field revisions.
• Define and validate redundant power topologies supporting the ICT environment, including N+1 and 2N concepts, feeder strategies, UPS, PDU, and busway interfaces and cabinet power coordination.
• Design or verify telecom bonding and grounding infrastructure aligned to TIA-607 and project requirements, including TGB and TMGB concepts, bonding paths, and equipment grounding interfaces.
• Coordinate with mechanical engineering and facilities teams on cooling load implications, cabinet densities, containment assumptions, and spatial constraints that affect the electrical and ICT design.
• Support constructability reviews, RFIs, submittals, inspections, and field issue resolution for power, grounding, code compliance, and interface demarcation between trades.
• Provide engineering input to commissioning, integrated systems testing, and turnover documentation where power and grounding performance affect low-voltage acceptance.
• Advise project leadership on technical risk, permit impact, scope boundaries, and required engineering changes before field execution proceeds.

Required Skills And Knowledge

• A bachelor's degree in electrical engineering is required; a master's degree or mission-critical specialization is preferred.
• Active Electrical PE license with experience supporting data centers, telecom, or other mission-critical facilities.
• Strong knowledge of redundant power architectures, UPS, PDU, and busway distribution; selective coordination concepts; and the practical interface between electrical and ICT systems.
• Deep understanding of telecom grounding and bonding infrastructure, including TIA-607 concepts and field implementation considerations for cabinets, ladder racks, and related support systems.
• Ability to coordinate electrical design with mechanical, structural, and low-voltage disciplines to preserve constructability, maintainability, and code compliance.
• Strong technical judgment, drawing review capability, and written communication for stamped documents, design clarifications, and field directives.

Certifications / Training

• Required: Active Licensed Professional Engineer (PE) credential in the relevant jurisdiction(s).
• Preferred: Demonstrated mission-critical / data center experience and familiarity with NEC / NFPA requirements, commissioning processes, and client / AHJ review workflows
