Electrical Design Manager (Data Center)

Key Responsibilities

• Electrical Engineering Leadership: Direct the end-to-end electrical design for mission-critical facilities. This includes overseeing the engineering of utility connections, substations, switchgear, UPS systems, backup generators, power distribution networks, grounding, and lighting arrays.
• Infrastructure Strategy: Strategize and manage MV/LV power distribution topologies, redundancy architectures, equipment spatial planning, and load capacity modeling to ensure scalability for future growth and operational demands.
• Quality Assurance & Code Compliance: Ensure all designs comply with internal engineering guidelines, industry best practices, and local regulatory requirements. Actively incorporate post-project evaluations and lessons learned into future building phases.
• Cross-Disciplinary Integration: Facilitate seamless integration across the project lifecycle, coordinating electrical systems with mechanical, architectural, structural, fire/life safety, ICT, controls (BMS/EPMS), and security teams.
• Technical Authority: Act as the primary technical guide for electrical infrastructure, directing project teams to maximize system reliability, safety, long-term maintainability, and operational readiness.
• Design Validation: Conduct rigorous technical reviews on design packages. Evaluate single-line diagrams, equipment schedules, technical calculations, and architectural drawings to verify accuracy, constructability, and overall coordination.
• External Partner Management: Partner with external engineering consultants, construction contractors, and equipment vendors to evaluate, select, and procure technical solutions and hardware that align with project lifecycle goals.
• Execution & Handover Support: Provide active technical support during the construction phase. Drive on-site issue resolution, oversee system testing and commissioning, validate final as-built documentation, and ensure a smooth facility handover to operations.
