Electrical Engineer

As an Electrical Engineer, you'll provide the technical electrical engineering perspective across the acquisition and development lifecycle — from initial site and deal evaluation through construction readiness. Working within the Infrastructure Acquisition Group, you'll partner with Site Selection, Technical Due Diligence, Development, Energy, Finance, and Delivery to ensure every project's power distribution, utility interconnection, and equipment assumptions are technically sound before they move forward. What You'll Own: - Lead electrical engineering evaluation of prospective sites, colocation capacity, and build-to-suit opportunities. - Own technical assumptions for power distribution topology, capacity, and equipment strategy feeding the pre-construction risk register. - Assess utility interconnection, on-site generation, and redundancy strategies (N, N+1, 2N) against site conditions and load requirements. - Recommend Go / No-Go input on electrical feasibility as projects advance through key development milestones. - Deliver technically validated electrical scope to the Delivery organization with complete documentation and minimized risk. Technical Due Diligence & Feasibility: - Lead electrical due diligence on prospective sites, existing facilities, and colocation capacity under evaluation. - Evaluate utility capacity, interconnection queue position, substation requirements, and on-site generation/UPS strategy against projected IT load. - Assess electrical equipment availability, lead times (transformers, switchgear, generators), and vendor constraints that could affect schedule or capex. - Ensure electrical assumptions are fully integrated into project budgets, capacity models, and schedules. Design & Equipment Strategy: - Partner with Engineering to define power distribution topology and redundancy strategy appropriate to each site and deal structure. - Evaluate EPMS/BMS controls integration and electrical system commissioning requirements early in the acquisition process. - Provide technical input on switchgear, UPS, and generator selection, redundancy strategy, and capex trade-offs across candidate sites. - Ensure electrical design intent is preserved as deals move from negotiation into development. Construction Readiness: - Establish electrical technical readiness criteria as part of project handoff standards. - Verify electrical design assumptions, equipment specifications, and capacity commitments are complete before turnover to Delivery. - Identify and resolve electrical technical risks before they impact construction. Cross-Functional Collaboration: - Serve as the primary electrical engineering technical interface across Site Selection, Technical Due Diligence, Development, Energy, and Delivery. - Coordinate with consulting engineers, utility providers, equipment vendors, and commissioning agents to validate executable electrical strategies. - Align internal stakeholders and external consultants to prevent technical scope drift as projects move from acquisition into development. What You'll Bring: - 8+ years of experience in data center electrical engineering, power systems design, or mission-critical electrical systems. - Experience with medium-voltage distribution, switchgear, UPS systems, generators, and utility interconnection for high-density AI/hyperscale environments. - Strong understanding of electrical capacity planning, redundancy topology (N, N+1, 2N), equipment selection, and capex trade-offs in data center design. - Experience evaluating electrical feasibility of sites or facilities prior to commercial commitment. - Excellent communication and executive presentation skills. - Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent experience. Preferred Qualifications: - Experience supporting hyperscale data center or AI infrastructure development. - Experience with EPMS/BMS controls integration and electrical systems commissioning. - Experience with utility interconnection agreements and interconnection queue strategy. - Professional Engineer (PE) license or similar professional certification. - Experience evaluating colocation or build-to-suit electrical infrastructure in a due diligence capacity.
