  • Critical power distribution to IT loads
• Design power systems from utility interconnection through rack-level PDUs, including:
  • Switchgear specifications
  • Transformer sizing
  • Bus duct routing
  • Branch circuit distribution
• Perform:
  • Load analysis
  • Short circuit studies
  • Arc flash analysis
  • Protective device coordination
  • Harmonic distortion assessments
• Develop single-line diagrams, panel schedules, grounding systems, lighting design, and raceway layouts for data center environments
• Coordinate with utility providers on service entrance, redundant feeds, and capacity planning
• Ensure compliance with:
  • NFPA 70 (NEC)
  • NFPA 75 / 76 / 110
  • IEEE standards
  • Uptime Institute Tier III / IV requirements
  • State and local codes

• Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership across projects

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (ABET-accredited)
• Professional Engineer (PE) license required
• 7+ years of electrical engineering experience
• 2–5+ years focused on data center or mission-critical facilities
• Strong experience with:
  • 480V/277V systems
  • Medium voltage power systems
  • Generator paralleling
  • Automatic transfer switches
• Proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit MEP, SKM PowerTools (or equivalent)
• Experience leading projects exceeding $50M in construction value
• Strong client-facing communication and leadership skills

Preferred Experience

• Hyperscale (100MW+) data center campuses
• Uptime Institute standards and ASHRAE TC 9.9 familiarity
• Renewable energy integration or energy storage systems
• LEED AP, CEM, RCDD, or Uptime certifications
• Government/DOD facility experience

Why Consider This Role?

• Work on large-scale hyperscale and enterprise data center projects
• High technical ownership and leadership visibility
• Strong project pipeline and growth opportunity
• Hybrid flexibility
• Competitive compensation
