Job summary

Vantage Data Centers is seeking a Sr. Technical Project Manager, Site Deployment - Electrical Design Assurance to provide operationally focused electrical reviews for new data center builds, expansions, and major fit-outs across North America.

You will ensure operability, maintainability, safety, and reliability early in design, collaborating with Design Engineering, Construction, and Site Operations teams.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in data center operations, electrical engineering, commissioning, critical facilities maintenance, construction QA/QC, or mission-critical infrastructure delivery.
• Strong working knowledge of data center electrical systems including utility service, MV/LV distribution, switchgear, UPS, generators, transfer schemes, grounding, batteries, EPMS, and supporting systems.
• Experience reviewing electrical drawings, one-lines, specifications, submittals, commissioning documents, sequences of operation, coordination studies, and technical vendor documentation.
• Ability to identify operability, maintainability, reliability, electrical safety, lifecycle, and resilience risks within electrical design packages before construction execution.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to clearly articulate operator concerns to Design Engineering, Construction, Commissioning, and Site Operations stakeholders.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent projects, track comments and issues to closure, and support fixed project milestones.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications and familiarity with project documentation, drawing management, and issue tracking workflows.
• Ability to travel up to 20% within North America based on project and site needs.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary Site Deployment representative for electrical design assurance across assigned campuses, projects, and expansions.
• Participate in design page-turn reviews and provide operator-focused comments from concept design through IFC drawing issuance.
• Review electrical design packages, one-line diagrams, specifications, sequences of operation, equipment schedules, load studies, and drawing sets for operability, maintainability, safety, and reliability.
• Review electrical submittals, equipment selections, vendor documentation, and proposed alternates to evaluate operational impact, maintainability requirements, protection strategy, and lifecycle risk.
• Support responses to RFIs related to electrical distribution, equipment access, switching, redundancy, load management, protection coordination, EPMS interfaces, maintenance clearances, and long-term serviceability.
• Evaluate value engineering proposals and design changes to ensure critical operational requirements are not removed, reduced, or compromised without appropriate risk visibility.
• Provide technical input for electrical commissioning strategies, operational acceptance criteria, test scripts, integrated systems testing, energization plans, and turnover readiness expectations.
• Collaborate with Site Deployment TPMs and future MCO teams to ensure electrical design intent is carried forward into construction, commissioning, training, CMMS population, and steady-state operations.
• Capture lessons learned from active operating sites and deployment projects and feed them back into future electrical design standards, templates, and review criteria.
• Partner with local MCO leadership to ensure future operators understand electrical design intent, operating limitations, maintenance requirements, and known risk items prior to turnover.
