Job Description

AECOM is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to join our growing Canadian Data Center team.

This is a senior, hands-on technical role for an experienced electrical engineer ready to tackle the scale, speed and complexity of hyperscale, colocation and mission-critical facilities. This is a newly created position.

You will design resilient critical-power infrastructure, solve complex engineering challenges, collaborate with clients and multidisciplinary teams, and help develop the next generation of engineers.

What You'll Do

- Lead electrical design for hyperscale, colocation and mission-critical data centers.
- Design medium-voltage and low-voltage electrical distribution systems, including utility services, substations, transformers, switchgear, switchboards and panelboards.
- Develop critical-power and backup-power systems incorporating UPS systems, generators, batteries and associated distribution.
- Design resilient, redundant and fault-tolerant electrical architectures for continuous operations.
- Perform electrical load calculations, demand assessments,



capacity planning and power-system studies.
- Support short-circuit, protective-device coordination, arc-flash and related electrical-system analyses.
- Develop grounding, bonding, lightning-protection and emergency-power solutions.
- Support high-density computing applications and evolving data center power requirements.
- Advance energy-effective and sustainable electrical design strategies.
- Prepare engineering calculations, single-line diagrams, equipment selections, specifications and technical documentation.
- Coordinate with mechanical, structural, architectural, civil, fire protection, telecommunications and controls disciplines.
- Support construction, RFIs, shop drawing reviews, commissioning, integrated systems testing, startup and turnover.
- Work directly with clients, utilities, contractors, vendors and project stakeholders.
- Mentor junior and intermediate engineers and designers.
- Support proposals, pursuits, fee development and technical presentations.
