Compensation: $300K–$365K + Equity

Employment: Full-time

SR2 is partnering with an exciting, high-growth AI infrastructure client to find an Electrical Engineering Manager / Team Lead who can own electrical engineering across a rapidly expanding portfolio of hyperscale data center developments.

This is a senior, hands-on leadership opportunity for someone who knows how to take complex electrical infrastructure from design and utility interface through construction, commissioning and energization

• while operating at exceptional pace.

What you'll own:

• Lead electrical engineering across multiple concurrent data center developments.
• Own electrical distribution from the utility interface through to the rack .
• Set, standardise and continuously improve the electrical reference design.
• Lead technical decisions covering MV/HV distribution, switchgear, UPS topology and busway .
• Drive designs that can be replicated across a rapidly scaling portfolio.
• Make critical field engineering decisions while maintaining both speed and safety.
• Own energization readiness and sequencing across individual sites.
• Work directly with utilities, consultants, contractors and AHJs.
• Critically review short-circuit, protection, coordination and arc-flash studies rather than simply accepting consultant outputs.
• Capture lessons from live projects and feed them back into future reference designs.
• Help build electrical infrastructure capable of supporting data center capacity at enormous scale.

What we're looking for:

• Significant electrical engineering experience within data centers, mission-critical infrastructure or heavy industrial construction .
• Experience leading electrical engineering across major construction programmes.
• Strong knowledge of electrical distribution systems and power system design .
• Proven ability to review and challenge protection and coordination studies .
• Hands-on experience with energization, commissioning and utility coordination .
• Confidence making engineering decisions in fast-moving construction environments.
• Strong understanding of switchgear, UPS systems, busway and electrical distribution.
• Ability to balance delivery speed, reliability and electrical safety .

Particularly valuable experience:

• PE licence .
• Medium-voltage and high-voltage distribution .
• Utility interconnection.
• Behind-the-meter generation.
• Hyperscale or large-scale data center programmes.
• Developing repeatable/reference electrical designs across multiple sites.

You'll be joining an environment built around ownership, first-principles engineering and extremely fast execution. If you want to work alongside a client delivering some of the most ambitious physical infrastructure supporting AI, SR2 would like to hear from you.
