Engineering, Procurement and Construction|Full TimeABOUT METROBLOKSMetrobloks develops and operates high-density colocation infrastructure in urban metro hubs across North America and Europe. Our sites are purpose-built for AI workloads, hyperscaler deployments, and low-latency enterprise applications — delivering up to 150+ kW/rack with high reliability reaching 5-9's availability. Active markets include Miami, Phoenix, Detroit, Kansas City, Indianapolis, McAllen, and Paris.ROLE OVERVIEWThe Senior Electrical Engineer is a core technical contributor responsible for the design, development, and delivery of high-voltage to low voltage electrical systems across Metrobloks' data center pipeline. You will drive electrical design from concept through energization — including medium-voltage distribution, substation integration, UPS infrastructure, generator systems, and critical power architecture — across a diverse pipeline of data center developments with utility service requirements ranging from 24 MW to 1 GW+.This role works directly with the Engineering, Business Development, Real Estate, and Finance teams to advance site feasibility, coordinate with utilities and AHJs, and ensure electrical infrastructure is designed for modularity, future-proofing, and rapid deployment — core tenets of the Metrobloks platform.LOCATIONMetro Markets (Hybrid) with a preference for Seattle, Los Angeles, New York City, and Kansas CityTRAVELUp to 25%KEY RESPONSIBILITIESElectrical Design & EngineeringLead electrical engineering design for greenfield and adaptive-reuse data center projects, from 13.2 kV to 230 kV service voltage environmentsDevelop single-line diagrams, load calculations, fault current analysis, arc flash studies, and site power distribution drawingsDesign medium-voltage switchgear configurations (34.5 kV, 13.8 kV) including substation sizing, transformer selection, and bus duct routingSize and specify UPS systems, static transfer switches, PDUs, and generator paralleling switchgear for N+1, and 2N critical power topologiesPerform short-circuit and coordination studies including arc flash analysis; ensure compliance with NFPA 70, NFPA 110, IEEE standards, and local AHJ requirementsSite Development & Utility CoordinationLead utility interconnection studies, including capacity requests, substation test fit submissions, and feed count / voltage level negotiationsCoordinate with transmission and distribution utilities on service entrance design, metering configurations, and protection relay settingsSupport site selection and feasibility analysis by assessing power availability, utility timelines, and energization risk across the active site pipelinePartner with Real Estate and Development teams to translate utility constraints into site layout and phasing decisionsServe as owner's representative during electrical construction: review submittals, respond to RFIs, and manage scope changesDevelop and execute integrated system testing (IST), commissioning plans, and energization sequencingConduct site inspections at critical construction milestones; ensure installed systems conform to design intent and specificationsCross-Functional CollaborationCollaborate with mechanical engineers on redundancy topology, power-density planning, cooling infrastructure interface, and PUE optimization strategiesProvide technical input to CIO and Development teams on owner performance requirement, design standards, capex modeling, and value engineering opportunitiesSupport vendor qualification and procurement for switchgear, transformers, generators, and UPS — including evaluation of lead time riskQUALIFICATIONSRequiredBachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) from an ABET-accredited program8+ years of electrical engineering experience, with 4+ years focused on mission-critical or data center infrastructureDemonstrated expertise in medium-voltage power distribution (13.2 kV – 34.5 kV), including substation and switchgear designExperience sizing and specifying critical power equipment: UPS, generators, ATS/STS, PDUsProficiency in power system analysis tools (ETAP, EasyPower, SKM PowerTools, EDSA or equivalent)Strong working knowledge of NEC (NFPA 70), NFPA 110, and applicable IEEE standardsAbility to review and comment on all aspects of electrical design produced by engineer of records.
