About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Support DCS‑M pursuits by reviewing RFP/RFQ requirements, identifying technical risks/clarifications, and reviewing equipment and basis-of-design inputs.
Provide application-level engineering support for data center electrical systems and equipment selection (MV/LV switchgear, generators, UPS, ATS, transformers, busway, PDUs/RPPs, panelboards, grounding/bonding, and protective devices)
Coordinate with designers, commissioning, construction, and vendors to resolve technical issues, RFIs, and field conditions.
Review and comment on single-lines, equipment layouts, sequences of operation, short-circuit/coordination study assumptions (as applicable), and commissioning test requirements to ensure alignment with project standards and performance objectives.
Support startup, testing, and commissioning activities by validating submittals, participating in factory/site witness testing as needed, and assisting with issue resolution through turnover.
During the RFP/RFQ phase, review client and program requirements, baseline testing requirements, and applicable standards; provide technical comments; identify potential clarifications, exceptions, or add‑alternates; and evaluate testing beyond code compliance necessary to manage risk.
Perform technical reviews of data center electrical equipment submittals (e.g., MV/LV switchgear, generators, UPS, ATS, transformers, PDUs/RPPs, panelboards, busway, breakers/protective devices).
Partner with Supply Chain to support sourcing decisions through technical evaluations, vendor comparisons, standardization efforts, and definition/maintenance of equipment requirements and templates.
Review manufacturer submittals against project specifications, drawings, and approved standards (including program/CDE requirements where applicable).
Identify technical non-compliance, coordination issues, schedule/lead-time impacts, and constructability concerns; document recommended actions and risk items.
Provide clear written engineering comments and recommendations for project teams and non-engineering stakeholders.
Participate in technical coordination meetings with internal teams, designers, vendors, and commissioning partners.
Coordinate with Supply Chain and other operating groups/project teams.
Communicate engineering findings clearly to non-engineering stakeholders.
Document assumptions, interpretations, and recommendations.
