About the position Lead Engineer Electrical

As Lead Engineer Electrical you are the technical go-to for the electrical architecture of our data centers. Your focus is on how the whole power chain fits together from utility and generators through UPS and LV distribution to the IT load rather than on being the deepest specialist in a single product.

You work closely with our power OEMs design partners and contractors answering technical questions challenging proposals where needed and making sure that the electrical design is robust buildable and supports our availability and sustainability targets.

You support Project Managers Site Managers and the Commissioning Manager with clear technical decisions and you are a key point of contact for the customers electrical and operations teams.

Typical systems in your scope:

• Utility and MV/LV interface (with focus on LV inside the data center)
• Generators ATS/STS and associated controls
• UPS systems batteries and static transfer switches
• LV switchgear distribution boards PDUs and busway systems
• Earthing bonding and lightning protection
• Power monitoring and metering infrastructure integration with BMS/PME

Areas of responsibility

Electrical architecture and design coordination

• Own and maintain the overall electrical architecture for assigned projects including single line diagrams and main equipment line-up.
• Review and comment on OEM and consultant designs with a focus on interfaces selectivity redundancy and maintainability.
• Ensure that electrical design choices support required resilience levels (e.g. N1 2N) and operational concepts.

OEM and supplier interaction

• Act as the main day-to-day technical contact for electrical OEMs (UPS generators switchgear busway metering).
• Review OEM proposals technical datasheets protection schemes and integration documents.
• Coordinate technical questions (RFIs) between OEMs designers contractors and the EcoDataCenter project team.

Support to projects and site

• Support Project Managers and Site Managers with clear electrical input to planning phasing and constructability.
• Participate in key design constructability and value engineering reviews.
• Visit site regularly to walk installations verify that the electrical design intent is followed and support resolution of issues.

Support commissioning and operations

• Support the Commissioning Manager and commissioning engineers in defining test scope and interpreting results from an electrical architecture perspective.
• Clarify design intent during fault-finding and help assess the impact of deviations or changes.
• Provide technical handover briefings to operations teams regarding power architecture limitations and key operating principles.

Documentation and standards

• Ensure that key electrical documents (SLDs layouts protection philosophies metering concepts) are up to date and consistent.
• Contribute to standardising electrical concepts and templates across projects based on lessons learned.
• Keep an overview of applicable standards and best practices for data center power design.

Your profile

You are an experienced electrical engineer who understands how a complete data center power chain should be put together. You may have worked for an OEM consultant contractor or operator what matters is that you can see the whole picture and explain it in simple terms.

• Have several years of experience working with electrical power systems in data centers industrial plants energy plants or similar mission-critical environments.
• Understand how generators UPS switchgear PDUs and busways fit together into a coherent architecture.
• Can read and challenge single line diagrams protection schemes and general arrangements and spot gaps or inconsistencies.
• Are comfortable speaking with OEM specialists asking direct questions and pushing back where a solution does not fit the overall architecture.
• Can translate technical detail into clear recommendations for Project Managers customers and operations.
• Enjoy being involved both in design meetings and on site seeing how solutions work in real life.

As a person you are structured curious and straightforward. You like solving problems by talking directly to the people involved and you keep the end goal in mind: a safe robust and operable power system.

Qualifications

• Degree or vocational qualification in electrical engineering power engineering or similar or equivalent experience.
• Solid experience with LV power systems; experience with MV interface is an advantage.
• Practical experience with some of the following: generators UPS LV switchgear PDUs busways earthing and power monitoring systems.
• Ability to read and evaluate single line diagrams protection coordination load schedules and basic cable sizing outputs.
• Experience interacting with OEMs or external design partners on technical options deviations and integration topics.
• Advantage if you have worked on data center projects or other high-availability facilities but strong experience from industrial/utility power is also relevant.
• Good communication skills in Swedish and English spoken and written.
• Good knowledge of the Office package; experience with power system or CAD tools is an advantage.
