Commissioning Manager

⚡ Electrical Engineering Lead – Data Centres

📍 Dublin

🌍 Extensive International Travel

I’m working on a genuinely interesting opportunity for an experienced Electrical Engineering Lead to join a major organisation operating at the forefront of large-scale data centre delivery.

This is a PMC / client-side role, so I’m not looking for somebody who simply wants to sit behind a desk producing designs.

You’ll be representing the client from a technical perspective, working closely with General Contractors, design teams, consultants, vendors and delivery partners, challenging designs, reviewing technical solutions and helping ensure major data centre projects are delivered to the required standards.

The role will have a strong focus on critical electrical infrastructure, including:

• HV / MV / LV power systems

• Utility connections and substations

• UPS and standby generation

• Electrical distribution and busway systems

• Protection philosophies and redundancy strategies

• Electrical load modelling and capacity planning

• EPMS / SCADA / controls integration

• Commissioning, energisation and integrated systems testing

• Technical reviews, design assurance and troubleshooting

You’ll also be involved much earlier in the project lifecycle, supporting concept development, feasibility, technical strategy and the development of repeatable electrical solutions for large-scale data centre programmes.

There is a significant technical-authority element to the position. You’ll be expected to understand the detail, challenge the GC where necessary and provide clear technical direction rather than simply monitoring programme and cost.

I’m therefore particularly interested in speaking with Electrical Engineers who have worked within hyperscale, colocation or other mission-critical data centre environments and who are comfortable operating across areas such as substations, MV/LV distribution, generators, UPS, protection and critical power architectures.

Experience of commissioning, energisation, electrical testing and operational readiness would also be highly relevant.

The role is based in Dublin and candidates will need to be based in Dublin. It will also involve extensive travel, so you’ll need to be comfortable spending significant time on projects outside Ireland.

A relevant Electrical Engineering / Power Systems qualification is required, with Chartered status or equivalent professional accreditation advantageous.

If you have strong data centre electrical experience and are interested in moving into, or continuing within, a client-side / PMC environment, drop me a message for a confidential conversation.
