About the role
Lambda’s Senior Electrical Delivery Engineer role focusing on delivering, commissioning, and operating electrical systems in data centers and mission-critical facilities, with field leadership during energization and handoffs.
Responsibilities
- Perform site walkdowns to verify installed electrical systems against approved designs, single-line diagrams, specifications, submittals, and Lambda standards.
- Validate equipment ratings, protection settings, phasing, grounding and bonding, terminations, labeling, redundancy, and electrical failure domains.
- Identify installation deficiencies, design conflicts, and operational risks; document punch-list items and drive them through closure.
- Review construction test results and witness factory acceptance testing, site acceptance testing, functional testing, and integrated systems testing.
- Develop and review energization plans, MOPs, SOPs, EOPs, switching procedures, and electrical safety controls.
- Support initial energization and troubleshoot issues involving substations, transformers, switchgear, UPS systems, generators, busway, PDUs, RPPs, and rack-level distribution.
- Coordinate with design engineers, engineering partners, utilities, general contractors, electrical trades, equipment manufacturers, commissioning agents, operations, and HPC deployment teams.
- Confirm electrical capacity, voltage, redundancy, monitoring, and protection are ready before IT equipment is energized.
- Validate as-built documentation, equipment settings, test reports, commissioning records, and turnover packages before operational handoff.
- Capture field lessons and incorporate them into Lambda’s design standards, commissioning requirements, and site-validation playbooks.
- Mentor other engineers and provide senior technical leadership during high-risk energization and bring-up activities.
Qualifications
- Significant experience delivering, commissioning, or operating electrical systems in data centers, mission-critical facilities, utilities, or large industrial environments.
- Understand both medium- and low-voltage distribution, including transformers, switchgear, protective relays, generators, UPS systems, busway, grounding, and rack-level power.
- Ability to interpret single-line diagrams, equipment submittals, protection studies, relay settings, test reports, and construction documentation.
- Hands-on experience with site inspections, electrical testing, energization, commissioning, or operational turnover.
- Understand electrical safety, lockout/tagout, energized work controls, and applicable NEC, NFPA 70E, IEEE, and NETA requirements.
- Distinguish between cosmetic deficiencies and conditions that create material safety, reliability, or operational risk.
- Comfortable making decisions in the field, escalating critical issues, and coordinating corrective work under schedule pressure.
- Clear communication with construction teams, engineers, vendors, operators, and senior stakeholders.
- Willing to travel extensively and spend extended periods at active construction and commissioning sites.
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or equivalent practical experience.
