Job description

Apex is seeking a highly experienced Electrical Engineer to join our Engineering team supporting global data center projects. This role will augment the team’s day-to-day capacity in designing, supporting, and improving hyperscale data center infrastructure.

We’re looking for someone who brings strong technical depth, cross‑functional coordination skills, and a passion for solving complex engineering challenges at scale.

Key Responsibilities

• A) Design & Localize New Hyperscale Data Centers: Review and assist with technical development of electrical systems including campus layouts, SLDs, HV/MV infrastructure, substations (up to 345kV), and calculations. Review internal specifications and vendor compliance documentation. Oversee and provide technical direction to A/E design consultants. Peer review consultant deliverables (drawings, specifications, sequences of operations, models) and provide actionable feedback. Identify opportunities for value engineering. Create rapid conceptual sketches using industry‑standard tools for internal communication and validation.
• B) Support Data Center Operations: Lead or support resolution of electrical issues, outages, or fleet‑wide infrastructure improvements. Review post‑mortem and root cause analysis reports, and offer technical recommendations. Propose solutions and upgrades that enhance reliability and availability. Analyze operational data and trends to assess equipment health and predict failures.
• C) Support Construction Activities: Collaborate with design, construction, and change management teams to triage construction‑originated engineering issues. Support engineering bulletins to communicate design updates. Contribute to feedback loops to enhance standard designs across products, construction, and operations.
• D) General Engineering Administration: Use internal systems to log and track engineering issues. Develop and deliver presentations using Google Slides to share findings and recommendations. Perform engineering calculations using Excel or Google Sheets.

Requirements

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering (PE license preferred).
• 5+ years of experience in the design, construction, and commissioning of high/medium/low voltage distribution systems, including substations up to 345kV.
• Experience with mission‑critical facilities (data centers preferred).
• Familiarity with specifying equipment such as switchgear, panelboards, UPS, transformers, VFDs, and monitoring devices.
• Experience with power system analysis tools (e.g., ETAP, SKM, EasyPower).
• Proficient in CAD or BIM tools for engineering sketches and layouts.
• Strong understanding of cross‑disciplinary collaboration with structural, civil, mechanical, architectural, and IT/security teams.
