Senior Electrical Engineer - HV/MV - Mission Critical Data Centers
Client
A high-growth, owner-operator data center developer with an ambitious mission to deploy gigawatt-scale AI compute infrastructure across North America and beyond. The firm acquires power, designs, builds, and operates its own data centers, with a fully integrated team spanning hardware, software, and engineering. They are moving at exceptional speed and scale, with a pipeline targeting tens of gigawatts of capacity this decade.
Job Role
A senior owner-side technical leadership opportunity to define and own protection and control design across a rapidly scaling portfolio of data center campuses, from the utility interface and HV substation through the MV distribution backbone. You'll set Fluidstack's protection philosophy, review and approve the work of utilities, EPCs, and third-party engineering firms, and serve as the escalation point for protection misoperations and fault events across the fleet. This is a high-accountability role with direct influence over the engineering standards that will scale across dozens of sites.
Requirements
- Lead protection and control design for HV/MV systems across capital projects; define relay protection schemes and functionality in accordance with internal standards and utility requirements
- Review contractor- and consultant-provided relay settings, coordination studies, logic diagrams (including IEC 61850 GOOSE messaging), and operational descriptions prior to energisation
- Own protection coordination across site power systems; evaluate changes in fault duty and system performance as campuses scale, including settings for temporary builds and construction sequencing
- Lead substation automation and integration design: SCADA point indexes, HMI screens, IED data maps, and substation-level operational descriptions
- Serve as the technical escalation point for protection misoperations, fault events, and inadvertent operations; own root cause analysis, event record review, and corrective action across the fleet
- Support design through implementation, testing, and commissioning; feed lessons learned back into firmwide design standards
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering
- Minimum 7 years of experience in power systems protection and control across utility, industrial, or data center environments
- Strong working knowledge of protection coordination principles, relay settings development and review, and sequence of operations
- Hands-on proficiency with SEL relay platforms and at least one other major vendor (ABB Relion, Siemens Siprotec, GE, Schneider/Micom)
- PE licence or EIT certification preferred
- Prior experience at a hyperscale data center operator, SEL, a major utility, or a top-tier consulting firm strongly preferred
- Experience with RTAC/PLC-based automation, source transfer schemes, and DNP3 a plus
- Familiarity with protection for BESS, on-site generation, or inverter-based resources at MV level a plus
