Your role at a glance

The Senior Electrical Solutions Engineer is a core Subject Matter Expert (SME) within Global Solutions Engineering, providing advanced electrical engineering expertise and technical leadership to the broader Solutions Engineering organization primarily across EMEA, while also supporting India, APAC, and the Americas as required. The role translates complex hyperscale and neocloud/enterprise customer requirements into practical, scalable, resilient, and commercially viable data center electrical solutions, with particular emphasis on high-density compute environments and increasingly complex power distribution architectures.

This individual contributor will develop electrical solutions from initial customer requirements through approximately 30% schematic design, producing the drawings, single-line diagrams, calculations, equipment selections, technical narratives, basis-of-design documentation, and scope definition required for Design Management, Procurement, and Construction teams to price, develop, and execute customer fit-out projects. The engineer will evaluate and develop solutions involving medium- and low-voltage distribution, UPS systems, generators, transformers, switchgear, PDUs/RPPs, busway, rack power distribution, protection and coordination, grounding, metering, power quality, and resilient electrical topologies supporting mission-critical data center environments.

Based in the UK, or the Netherlands, the engineer will operate as a global technical resource and may occasionally participate in customer and internal meetings across multiple time zones.
The engineer will serve as a senior electrical technical authority during customer discussions, technical workshops, site assessments, due diligence activities, RFIs/RFPs, and solution-development efforts.
