Job description

At InfraPartners, we design and deploy high-density, next-generation AI data centres. We don’t just build them; we manufacture them as modular products.

We are looking for an Electrical Design Lead for a senior individual contributor role, with no direct reports. Reporting to the Central Engineering Director, you will be our primary technical authority for electrical design across our modular data centre product suite and client project portfolio.

If you are a senior power systems engineer who wants to work outside rigid corporate structures, set the standard for AI workloads, and see your designs built in a factory environment, we’d like to hear from you.

Work Arrangement: Fully remote

• Performance bonus: 20% annual target
• Annual leave: 28 days
• Private health insurance: Full cover after 3 months
• Pension

What You’ll Do

Your goal is to ensure quality, consistency, and innovation across all InfraPartners electrical infrastructure. Your work will cover four areas:

1. Electrical Design Ownership

• Lead electrical design for projects and products from concept through to Issued for Construction (IFC).
• Drive electrical design input for our Standard Reference Design (SRD) product and for bespoke client deployments.
• Develop and maintain our global electrical standards, reference designs, and technical specifications.
• Own the technical review of load calculations, studies, schematics, and layouts.

2. Oversight of External Partners & Vendors

• Guide, mentor, and rigorously review the deliverables of external design consultants and partners.
• Review vendor submittals and supplier deliverables to ensure they meet performance requirements.
• Provide technical direction on how MEP contractors are specified and appointed.

3. Technical Problem Solving & Cross-Functional Coordination

• Coordinate with mechanical, structural, architectural, and BIM teams to resolve design clashes.
• Support factory and site teams by resolving design queries and variations quickly.
• Lead the electrical input for equipment redesigns, including rear-door heat exchanger units.

4. R&D and Innovation

• Research and develop electrical architectures that keep pace with fast-changing AI data centre requirements.
• Work with our Advanced Research & Engineering team on liquid cooling integration and emerging technologies.

What You Bring

We’re looking for a technical leader who understands the product end to end, from factory build to site commissioning.

• Degree in Electrical Engineering
• 10+ years of electrical design experience, including at least 4 years in data centres or mission-critical environments
• Strong knowledge of LV and MV power distribution, UPS architectures, and generator systems
• Strong working knowledge of relevant UK and international codes and standards (BS 7671, IEC, NFPA 70 or equivalent)
• Direct experience reviewing, challenging, and auditing work produced by external consultants and contractors

Preferred

• Chartered Engineer (CEng) or equivalent professional registration
• Experience with modular, containerised, or prefabricated electrical systems
• Background in fast-paced design-and-build or main contractor environments
• Exposure to liquid cooling and high-density AI infrastructure
• Proficiency with power systems analysis software such as ETAP, SKM, or similar

How Success Is Measured

You will be driving a product line. Success looks like this:

• Electrical designs are delivered on time and right first time.
• Consistent electrical standards are applied across the SRD product family.
• External engineering deliverables pass your review with minimal rework.
• Electrical snags and design changes in the factory and on site reduce significantly.

This is a remote role with high visibility. You’ll have the autonomy to make key design decisions, influence product strategy, and work directly with our advanced research team. If you want to move beyond traditional consulting and help build the physical infrastructure behind AI, we’d like to talk.
