ABOUT WORLDWIDE MISSION CRITICAL
Worldwide Mission Critical is a global owner’s representation and project management company dedicated to the mission-critical industry, helping companies deliver their data centers on time and under budget. Founded on the principle that the right team of experienced data center professionals will deliver great projects, our ability to provide oversight for all aspects of a project sets us apart.

Summary

As a Senior Electrical Design Engineer, you will serve as a technical authority in the planning, design, and execution of advanced electrical systems for large-scale, mission-critical data center infrastructure. Drawing on 10+ years of hands-on experience in the A/E industry, you will lead cross-functional teams, drive design excellence, and serve as a trusted partner to internal stakeholders, engineers of record, and construction teams. This role demands deep expertise in high and medium voltage systems, a passion for innovation, and a commitment to delivering exceptional results on complex, high-stakes projects.

Primary Responsibilities

  • You will serve as the senior technical lead for electrical design on complex, large-scale data center and mission-critical infrastructure projects, guiding projects from concept through commissioning and final turnover.

  • You will lead and oversee a team of electrical engineers and designers, establishing consistent design standards, reviewing deliverables, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement and technical excellence.

  • You will act as the primary liaison between internal departments, engineers of record (EoR), external consultants, and contractors to resolve complex electrical design challenges and drive timely, code-compliant solutions.

  • You will oversee the development, review, and quality control of all electrical documentation including one-line diagrams, load calculations, panel schedules, arc flash studies, short circuit analyses, submittals, and RFIs.

  • You will lead the evaluation and integration of emerging technologies to enhance the efficiency, reliability, and scalability of electrical infrastructure in data center environments.

  • You will drive proactive schedule and budget management by identifying design bottlenecks, evaluating cost impacts of design changes, and maintaining accountability across EoR and contractor teams.

  • You will ensure all electrical systems fully comply with applicable codes and standards including NEC, IEEE, and IEC, while mitigating technical and project risk throughout the design lifecycle.

  • You will lead risk assessments, factory acceptance testing (FAT), site acceptance testing (SAT), and commissioning activities, including milestone inspections and system integration verification.

  • You will partner closely with mechanical, controls, and architectural disciplines to ensure full integration of electrical systems into the broader project design framework.

  • You will develop and maintain lessons-learned documentation, contributing to ongoing improvements in design processes, standards, and project delivery methodologies.

  • You will provide field support during construction, conducting walkthroughs, resolving installation issues, and ensuring a successful handoff to operations.

  • You will contribute to the development and continuous refinement of internal design standards, templates, and best practices across the electrical discipline.

Skills, Knowledge, Education, and Experience

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Power Engineering with electrical building systems emphasis.

  • Minimum 10 years’ experience in the A/E industry with a strong focus on mission-critical and data center electrical infrastructure.

  • Revit BIM design experience required; demonstrated ability to coordinate large-scale electrical systems within a BIM environment.

  • Deep expertise in power distribution and lighting design, including medium voltage switchgear, transformers, UPS systems, generators, and associated controls.

  • Proven proficiency in short circuit analysis and power system modeling using SKM, ETAP, or similar tools.

  • Extensive background in the design, construction, testing, and commissioning of medium and low voltage electrical distribution systems, including power management and SCADA tools.

  • Professional Engineering (PE) license required.

  • Demonstrated experience with redundancy strategies (N, N+1, 2N) and fault-tolerant design principles for high-uptime data center environments.

  • Strong understanding of substation design, switchgear, power monitoring, and associated commissioning processes.

  • Comprehensive understanding of professional services from conceptual design through project close-out.

  • Knowledge of sustainable design approaches including energy efficiency strategies and their application in large-scale infrastructure.

  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to diverse audiences including senior leadership and external stakeholders.

  • Passion for improving workflows and driving continuous improvement across the electrical discipline.

  • Proficient with Microsoft Productivity Suite products.
