Our partner is looking for a Director, Electrical Engineering based in Spain. This is a senior engineering leadership opportunity to shape the electrical infrastructure powering a general portfolio of next-generation AI facilities. As the electrical engineering design authority, you will oversee technical standards, reference designs, and project execution across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas. You will define scalable power architectures capable of supporting increasingly demanding AI and high-performance computing workloads while maintaining exceptional reliability, safety, and efficiency. Working closely with multidisciplinary engineering, technology, procurement, and operations teams, you will balance technical excellence with commercial priorities and delivery schedules. You will guide projects from early concept through detailed design, construction, commissioning, and energisation. As the portfolio expands, you will develop engineering standards, mentor technical professionals, and build a dedicated electrical engineering team. This role offers the opportunity to influence the future of AI infrastructure at a global scale. Accountabilities: As the electrical engineering subject matter expert, you will establish technical direction, ensure consistent engineering quality, and support the successful delivery of mission-critical AI infrastructure projects. Serve as the electrical engineering design authority across the global portfolio, overseeing electrical engineering activities from concept through detailed design, construction, commissioning, and energisation.
- Develop, implement, and maintain electrical design standards, specifications, and basis-of-design documentation covering the full power chain, from utility interconnection to rack-level distribution.




- Contribute to the reference design for AI facilities, balancing performance, reliability, energy efficiency, cost, scalability, and speed of delivery.
- Own the overall power architecture, including redundancy strategies, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, energy storage, standby and on-site generation, and power distribution to the rack.
- Collaborate with technology teams to align facility power infrastructure with rack, GPU, and network requirements, ensuring consistent and reliable deployment of computing capacity.
- Provide specialist electrical engineering support to active projects, resolving technical challenges quickly and preventing delays throughout design, construction, commissioning, and energisation.
- Monitor developments in AI hardware and electrical power architectures, including higher rack densities, changing GPU load behaviour, and higher-voltage distribution, translating emerging requirements into updated engineering standards.
- Lead electrical design reviews and technical assurance, including load-flow analysis, short-circuit studies, protection coordination, and arc-flash assessments. Act as the design authority for any deviation from established electrical standards.
- Coordinate with mechanical, controls, structural, and other engineering specialists to ensure integrated designs prioritise safety, reliability, cost-effectiveness, and timely delivery.
- Partner with Procurement to standardise specifications for long-lead electrical equipment, including transformers, switchgear, UPS systems, generators, and busway, supporting framework agreements, prefabrication, and modular deployment.
- Champion safety by design, reliability, maintainability, and energy efficiency, working with Operations to ensure facilities can be operated and maintained safely over their lifecycle.
