Accountabilities:

Own and continuously develop engineering standards, Basis of Design (BoD) documentation, and technical design criteria across electrical, mechanical, civil, structural, controls, telecommunications, and site infrastructure disciplines.
Define, evaluate, and approve engineering architectures for medium-voltage and low-voltage electrical distribution, power generation, backup systems, UPS infrastructure, and mechanical cooling solutions.
Establish appropriate redundancy, availability, and resilience strategies, including N, N+1, and 2N configurations, while evaluating technical and commercial trade-offs for high-density AI and high-performance computing (HPC) environments.
Lead engineering coordination with utility providers and substation owners, covering load studies, grid interconnection requirements, substation and switchyard design, protection and coordination, metering, and energization sequencing.
Provide technical leadership and direction to the Director of Data Center Design and external engineering consultants, reviewing and approving technical studies, calculations, single-line diagrams, equipment selections, and design deliverables at every project stage.
Lead constructability assessments, value engineering initiatives, and design-for-schedule reviews in collaboration with Construction and Pre-Construction teams.
Resolve complex technical issues, requests for information (RFIs), and design conflicts that require owner-level engineering decisions beyond the authority of consultants or project teams.
Establish and oversee the owner-side commissioning strategy, defining commissioning scopes and levels, approving commissioning agents and test procedures, witnessing integrated systems testing, and authorizing energization and operational turnover readiness.
Direct engineering-related operational readiness activities, ensuring complete handover documentation, as-built drawings, operations and maintenance (O&M) requirements, spare parts strategies, and maintainability standards.
Evaluate and recommend equipment manufacturers, long-lead procurement specifications, and standardized equipment platforms, supporting procurement teams through technical bid evaluations and scope development.
Assess engineering risks across the data center portfolio, identifying potential power, cooling, design, and system integration challenges and implementing appropriate mitigation strategies.
Support customer and tenant technical requirements by reviewing design specifications, evaluating requested changes, and representing engineering capabilities in customer and partner discussions.
Drive standardization and repeatability across projects, developing scalable design solutions that improve cost predictability, delivery schedules, operational performance, and infrastructure reliability.
Build, lead, and mentor the internal engineering organization, defining technical roles, competency requirements, and professional development pathways as the business expands.
Provide clear technical recommendations, project updates, and strategic engineering insights to project leadership and executive stakeholders.
Foster a collaborative, inclusive, and accountable engineering culture built on professionalism, effective communication, and technical excellence.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline.
At least 15 years of progressive experience in the design and engineering of data centers, mission-critical facilities, or large-scale power and industrial infrastructure.
A minimum of 5 years of experience in senior technical leadership positions, with responsibility for engineering strategy, technical decisions, and multidisciplinary teams.
Extensive knowledge of data center electrical infrastructure, including medium-voltage and low-voltage distribution, power generation, UPS systems, electrical protection, and coordination.
Strong expertise in mechanical infrastructure, including chilled water systems, air cooling, liquid cooling, heat rejection, and thermal management for high-density computing environments.
