Role and Responsibilities
Regional Electrical Leadership: Provide regional technical leadership and governance for electrical infrastructure across Southeast Asia data center operations. Drive consistency in engineering standards, operational practices, maintenance strategies, risk management across the regional portfolio.
Electrical Infrastructure Operations: Provide technical oversight for the operation, maintenance, and lifecycle management of critical electrical infrastructure, including utility intake systems, HV/MV/LV distribution, transformers, switchgear, protection systems, generators, UPS systems, batteries, STS, PDU/RPP, busway, earthing systems, and electrical monitoring platforms.
Technical Support : Act as the regional Electrical SME and escalation point for complex electrical issues and critical incidents. Provide advanced technical support to site operations teams for protection trips, electrical faults, UPS and generator abnormalities, switching events, power quality issues, equipment failures, degraded operating modes, and other conditions that may impact data center availability.
Reliability and Risk Management: Drive electrical system reliability and availability through preventive, predictive, and condition-based maintenance strategies. Analyze equipment health, performance data, alarms, and failure trends; lead RCA’s for incidents; and ensure corrective and preventive actions and lessons learned are implemented consistently across the region.
Standards and Governance: Develop Operational standards – switching standards, Maintenance standards, BOD and Maintenance play book.
Commissioning and Handover: Support commissioning, energization, IST, operational readiness reviews, and handover from project delivery to operations.
Electrical Safety and Compliance: Ensure compliance with local regulations, permit to work, lockout/tagout, arc flash controls, electrical safety procedures, and DayOne operational risk requirements.
Performance Optimization: Identify opportunities to improve power reliability, energy efficiency, PUE, power quality, load utilization, redundancy, and lifecycle cost.
Vendor and Contractor Management: Coordinate with Internal stake holders, OEMs, service providers, consultants, and contractors to ensure maintenance quality, safe execution, and timely issue resolution .
Regional Capability Building: Coach site teams, share best practices, and build regional competency in electrical operations, switching discipline, UPS/generator systems, protection coordination, and incident response.
