Communicate with executives and partners on electrical decisions.

Responsibilities

Lead MV/LV power distribution design from utility interconnection through the facility, including switchgear, transformers, UPS, generators, and critical power paths.

Develop electrical standards, reference designs, and equipment specifications that repeat across sites.
Support utility coordination, interconnection studies, and power delivery timelines.
Work with procurement and construction teams on long-lead equipment, constructability, and commissioning.
Be the technical voice on electrical decisions with executives, developers, and partners.
