What impact you will have

We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to lead the design and delivery of electrical systems for high-density data centers, including both conventional and direct liquid cooling (DLC) facilities. This role is focused on ensuring safe, resilient, and scalable electrical infrastructure; from utility interface down to rack-level distribution, supporting mission-critical environments and next-generation compute platforms. The ideal candidate combines strong technical expertise with hands-on project experience and thrives in multidisciplinary teams delivering complex data center projects.

What you’ll do

Electrical System Design & Engineering

• Develop end-to-end electrical designs for data centers (MV, LV, UPS, generators, busbars, PDUs, rack-level distribution).

• Produce detailed schematics, one-line diagrams, layout drawings, and technical specifications.

• Integrate electrical design with mechanical and IT systems, with a special focus on DLC requirements and interfaces.

• Lead design reviews and ensure compliance with project requirements, client standards, and industry best practices.

Power Distribution & Analysis

• Perform load flow, short-circuit, selectivity, and reliability studies using industry-standard tools.

• Specify and validate switchgear, transformers, busbar systems, protective devices, and cabling for high-current distribution.

• Evaluate redundancy schemes (N, N+1, 2N) and contribute to Tier certification requirements.

Commissioning & Delivery

• Support procurement, vendor evaluation, and technical submittal reviews.

• Oversee factory acceptance tests (FATs), site acceptance tests (SATs), commissioning, and handover activities.

• Troubleshoot electrical issues, drive root cause analysis, and implement corrective measures.

 Compliance & Documentation

• Ensure all designs comply with NEC/IEC codes, local regulations, and global data center standards.

• Develop and maintain technical documentation, including specifications, test protocols, and O&M manuals.

• Contribute to risk assessments, method statements, and safety compliance plans.

Collaboration & Expertise

• Work closely with clients, architects, mechanical engineers, and IT specialists to deliver integrated solutions.

• Provide subject matter expertise on DLC - specific electrical design challenges (higher rack densities, liquid-to-liquid interfaces, safety protocols).
  

What you’ll need

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering (or related field).

• Minimum 7 years of proven experience in mission-critical electrical design, with demonstrable data center project delivery.

• Strong knowledge of power distribution from MV/LV down to rack-level (busbars, PDUs, server power delivery).

• Experience with direct liquid cooling (DLC) environments and high-density compute facilities.

• Strong understanding of Tier certification requirements, electrical codes (NEC, IEC), and international standards.

• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and troubleshooting skills.

• Strong communication and collaboration skills with multidisciplinary teams.

• Ability to work in fast-paced, client-facing environments with tight delivery timelines.
  

What we offer

• Attractive compensation package reflecting your expertise and experience.

• Restaurant Pass.

• Private Health Insurance.

• Languages classes (English).

• A healthy work environment with fresh fruits to energise and an on-site gym for active breaks.

• A great work environment characterised by friendliness, international diversity, flexibility, and a hybrid-friendly approach.

• You'll be part of a fast-growing scale-up with a mission to make a positive impact, offering an exciting career evolution.
