The Electrical Engineer owns electrical distribution design review for a data center build, from the MV switchgear interface to the rack. Working under the Engineering Lead, this role validates designs, studies, and submittals produced by design partners and vendors, and supports electrical commissioning through turnover. You are the project’s technical conscience on the electrical system: if a design won’t operate safely, maintain cleanly, or commission on time, you catch it before it’s built. Some of the key responsibilities you should expect are the following: Distribution Design Review Review MV/LV one-lines, equipment layouts, raceway and circuiting design from the substation interface through unit substations, switchgear, generators, UPS, busway, PDUs, and RPPs to the rack. Verify selectivity, redundancy behavior (N+1/2N as specified), equipment ratings, and clearances against code and program standards. Power System Studies Validate short-circuit, protective device coordination, arc-flash, and load-flow studies (SKM/ETAP). Confirm study inputs match the actual design and vendor data, chase discrepancies to ground, and ensure arc-flash labeling and PPE requirements flow to the field. Submittal & Vendor Data Review Review major electrical equipment submittals - switchgear, breakers, generators, UPS, busway, transformers - against specifications. Track technical exceptions, witness factory acceptance tests for critical gear, and confirm settings files and nameplate data reconcile with the studies. Construction Support Respond to electrical RFIs with clear, buildable answers. Review field changes for ratings, code, and coordination impacts. Walk installations with the MEP superintendent at key milestones - equipment setting, terminations, grounding - and flag quality issues early. Commissioning Support Review electrical test procedures and Cx scripts for Levels 2-5. Witness key tests (protective relay verification, load bank, UPS/generator transfers, pull-the-plug scenarios), drive electrical punch and Cx issues to closure with the Electrical SME, and validate settings and test records for turnover. Standards & Lessons Learned Contribute to Hut 8 electrical design standards, specification updates, and typical details. Capture field and commissioning lessons back into the next project’s design.
