Responsibilities
- Lead HV substation technical discussions with data centre clients and multi-disciplinary teams - establishing scopes, defining interfaces between HV infrastructure and site power systems (e.g. MSBs, UPS, generators), and ensuring coordinated delivery.
- Direct the technical delivery of substation design for data centre grid connections and on-site HV networks, agreeing approach with engineering teams, monitoring progress, and quality-checking deliverables prior to client issue.
- Apply lifecycle expertise — from grid connection studies and concept design through FEED and detailed design — to deliver HV substation schemes that meet the power density and availability demands of data centre campuses.
- Liaise with project management teams to develop resourcing forecasts and programmes aligned to data centre construction schedules and critical path milestones.
- Demonstrate commercial awareness through proposal development, project cost monitoring, and identifying opportunities to expand HV scope on data centre frameworks.
- Build trusted relationships with data centre developers, hyperscale operators, and utility stakeholders, understanding their grid connection strategies and availability requirements.
- Champion safety in design principles across all HV substation deliverables, ensuring compliance with relevant standards and the specific operational safety requirements of energised data centre environments.
- Mentor and develop junior engineers, building team capability in HV substation design for data centre applications over the medium and long term.
