The Electrical Power Generation Engineer provides technical leadership for the design, delivery, commissioning, and operational readiness of mission-critical data center power infrastructure. The role requires extensive knowledge of grid substations, medium-voltage (MV) and low-voltage (LV) distribution equipment, power quality monitoring, power-generation systems, protective relaying, switchgear, transformers, and related electrical infrastructure.
This engineer works cross-functionally with design, engineering, construction, delivery, commissioning, and operations teams from project inception through final handover to ensure the power-generation infrastructure is safe, resilient, maintainable, scalable, and aligned with data center availability objectives.
Key Responsibilities
Serve as the electrical power-generation subject-matter expert across concept development, detailed design, construction, commissioning, operational handover, and lifecycle support.
Define electrical design criteria, system architecture, capacity, redundancy, reliability, maintainability, grounding, protection, and operational-readiness requirements.
Lead design and technical reviews for grid substations, utility interconnections, high-voltage and medium-voltage substations, transformers, switchgear, breakers, protection relays, cables, grounding, metering, and communications interfaces.
Design and review MV and LV electrical distribution systems, including MV switchgear, transformers, LV switchboards, motor-control centers, panelboards, distribution boards, UPS interfaces, automatic transfer switches, and busway systems.
Review electrical interfaces for generator systems, generator step-up transformers, generator breakers, paralleling switchgear, load banks, and associated balance-of-plant electrical equipment.
Establish and validate power-system operating strategies, including utility transfer, generator paralleling, power quality monitoring, load shedding, restoration, emergency operations, and failover scenarios.
Coordinate utility-interconnection requirements, including protection coordination, relay settings, anti-islanding, transfer-trip, telemetry, metering, energization plans, and operating agreements.
Perform or review short-circuit, load-flow, arc-flash, harmonic, grounding, voltage-drop, and protective-device coordination studies.
Review electrical one-line diagrams, schematics, protection diagrams, equipment specifications, cable schedules, vendor submittals, and construction-installation packages.
Collaborate with mechanical, I&C, network, controls, construction, delivery, commissioning, and operations teams to ensure coordinated, buildable, testable, and maintainable solutions.
Develop and support commissioning plans for substation energization, equipment startup, relay testing, switchgear testing, generator testing, load-bank testing, integrated systems testing, and utility-transfer tests.
Lead root-cause analysis of electrical faults, protective trips, power-quality events, equipment failures, and recurring operational issues.
Develop electrical operating procedures, maintenance strategies, emergency-response plans, spare-parts recommendations, and lifecycle replacement plans.
Ensure complete turnover documentation, including as-built drawings, relay settings, test reports, commissioning records, equipment manuals, training materials, warranties, and asset records.
Support operations through periodic testing, outage planning, capacity upgrades, maintenance optimization, and continuous reliability improvement.
Ensure compliance with applicable electrical safety, utility, environmental, and regulatory requirements.
