Role responsibilities

• Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and guidance to a team of electrical engineers, technicians, and designers. 
• Lead electrical design efforts for data centres and other critical infrastructure projects, ensuring designs meet client requirements, timelines, and budgets. 
• Oversee and develop conceptual designs through to detailed construction documentation, ensuring compliance with relevant electrical standards, codes, and regulations (e.g., NEC, IEC, EN). 
• Manage and resolve design issues, discrepancies, and technical challenges in collaboration with multidisciplinary teams. 
• Review and interpret client scope of work (SOW) documents, ensuring electrical designs are aligned with client specifications, proactively identifying and raising variance orders. 
• Act as the primary electrical point of contact between the project design team, clients, contractors, and other stakeholders. 
• Coordinate electrical design elements with other building systems (e.g., mechanical, structural, fire) for seamless integration. 
• Translate complex technical electrical design details into clear, comprehensible information for clients and non-technical stakeholders. 
• Identify potential design risks and develop strategies to mitigate them, ensuring quality and safety compliance throughout all stages of the project. 
• Stay current with emerging electrical technologies, energy-efficient solutions, and best practices specific to data centres and mission-critical facilities. 
• Support the integration of renewable energy systems, UPS, and electrical infrastructure redundancy in line with latest standards. 
• Provide guidance on the application of appropriate electrical design software (e.g., Revit, ETAP), including scripting for automation (e.g., Python, Dynamo) to improve design efficiency and accuracy. 
• Ensure cost-effective electrical design solutions by working closely with cost estimators, ensuring budgets are maintained without compromising quality. 
• Lead and participate in design coordination meetings, ensuring electrical systems align with project goals and industry standards. 
• Ensure that all electrical design documentation (drawings, calculations, specifications, etc.) are properly maintained and meet quality control standards. 
• Drive continuous learning and professional development within the electrical design team, fostering a collaborative and high-performing environment. 
• Contribute to the virtual construction of electrical systems in buildings, ensuring compliance with local and international standards. 
• Maintain accurate project records in compliance with internal quality assurance systems.
