Electrical Engineer - Data Centers
This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for an Electrical Engineer- Data Centers based in United Kingdom.
This role provides the opportunity to shape the electrical infrastructure powering next-generation AI cloud environments.
You will bring critical electrical engineering expertise across data center acquisition, development, and construction readiness initiatives. The position focuses on evaluating power systems, distribution strategies, and infrastructure feasibility for high-density AI workloads.
You will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across engineering, energy, development, finance, and delivery functions.
This is a high-impact opportunity to establish technical standards and processes that enable scalable AI infrastructure growth. You will work in a fast-paced, innovative environment where ownership, technical excellence, and independent problem-solving are essential.
Accountabilities:
As an Electrical Engineer, you will provide technical leadership across the electrical engineering aspects of data center acquisition and development projects. You will evaluate power infrastructure feasibility, define electrical strategies, and help establish scalable technical frameworks that support future AI infrastructure expansion.
- Lead electrical engineering evaluations for prospective data center sites, colocation opportunities, and build-to-suit projects.
- Conduct electrical due diligence focused on power capacity, utility availability, distribution systems, and infrastructure readiness.
- Define technical assumptions for power distribution topology, electrical capacity, redundancy strategies, and equipment selection.
- Assess utility interconnection, on-site generation, UPS systems, and redundancy configurations including N, N+1, and 2N architectures.
- Provide Go/No-Go recommendations based on electrical feasibility, technical risks, and project requirements.
- Evaluate utility capacity, substation requirements, interconnection timelines, and infrastructure constraints affecting project delivery.
- Analyze electrical equipment availability, lead times, vendor dependencies, and cost implications impacting schedules and budgets.
- Partner with engineering teams to establish electrical design strategies, commissioning requirements, and technical readiness criteria.
- Provide technical input on switchgear, generators, UPS systems, and electrical system configurations across candidate sites.
- Ensure electrical design assumptions and commitments are accurately documented throughout the transition from acquisition to development.
- Identify and resolve electrical risks before they impact construction timelines or project execution.
- Collaborate with internal stakeholders, utility providers, consultants, equipment suppliers, and commissioning partners to ensure successful delivery.
