Director, Electrical Engineering - Data Centers

• About the Opportunity
• Are you looking for an opportunity to move beyond project execution and truly shape the future of data center engineering? We are partnering with a rapidly growing infrastructure developer and owner that is investing heavily in large-scale, next-generation data center campuses across the United States.

This is a unique leadership opportunity for an experienced electrical engineering professional to build and lead the electrical engineering function for a growing data center platform. You'll serve as the technical authority for electrical systems across a portfolio of mission-critical projects while establishing standards, driving innovation, mentoring engineers, and influencing major business decisions.

Unlike many leadership roles, this position offers the opportunity to have a significant impact on the direction of the organization, build out your own team, and create the engineering processes and standards that will support future growth.

• What You'll Do
• Lead the electrical engineering strategy for hyperscale and mission-critical data center developments
• Establish engineering standards, best practices, and quality requirements across the organization
• Build, mentor, and lead a growing team of electrical engineers
• Oversee design reviews and provide technical guidance throughout project development and delivery
• Drive decisions related to power distribution, backup power systems, grounding, controls, and critical infrastructure
• Review and approve equipment selections, vendor standards, and technical specifications
• Partner with internal stakeholders, consultants, contractors, and external partners to develop Basis of Design and project requirements
• Support construction, commissioning, and operations teams with technical expertise and problem-solving
• Evaluate emerging technologies, equipment, and design approaches to improve reliability, scalability, and efficiency
• Help shape the long-term vision and growth of the company's data center engineering organization

• What We're Looking For
• 10+ years of electrical engineering experience within data centers, mission-critical facilities, industrial infrastructure, or similarly complex environments
• Strong understanding of medium- and low-voltage power systems, backup power generation, and critical electrical infrastructure
• Experience reviewing designs and managing engineering deliverables through all project phases
• Demonstrated leadership experience managing, mentoring, or building engineering teams
• Ability to influence stakeholders and drive decisions across multiple disciplines
• Familiarity with industry codes and standards, including NEC
• PE license preferred but not required
• Strong communication, leadership, and strategic thinking skills

• Why This Opportunity Stands Out
• Opportunity to lead and build your own electrical engineering department
• Significant visibility and influence across a fast-growing data center portfolio
• Direct impact on the development of large-scale, next-generation infrastructure projects
• Combination of technical leadership, people management, and strategic decision-making
• Backed by substantial investment and long-term growth plans within the data center sector
• Flexible location options, including remote work
