Description : The Opportunity We are expanding our Grid Solutions team to support the next generation of AI data centres and are looking for an experienced engineering leader to help shape this journey. As a Principal Power Systems Architect , this role is responsible for the end-to-end electrical system design of hyperscale facilities, from the high-voltage grid connection point through the distribution network and down to the rack level. The position serves as the technical authority ensuring a coherent, reliable, and future-ready electrical architecture across the entire system. This is a highly technical leadership role requiring deep expertise in power systems engineering, sound engineering judgment, and the ability to challenge conventional approaches to data centre electrification. How you will make an impact Own the overall electrical architecture of large-scale AI data centre campuses and ensure design coherence across all disciplines, from HV grid connection through MV distribution to AC and DC rack power. Define study scope and direct work across a structured team of specialist engineers covering five domains: steady-state network planning and power quality; electromagnetic transient and insulation coordination; Minimum 15 years of relevant industrial experience spanning at least three of the five specialist domains, with genuine familiarity across all five. Proven experience with HV grid connections in an IEC regulatory context, including direct TSO engagement on connection studies, grid code compliance at transmission level, and familiarity with EU network codes (RfG, DCC, HVDC) where applicable. IEC * (short circuit), IEC * (insulation coordination), IEC * (HV installations), IEC * (substation communication), and IEC * (switchgear). PowerFactory, PSS/E, PS-CAD,), and the ability to critically review outputs from tools you do not operate yourself.



Experience with power generation systems and distributed control architectures — including DCS/SCADA integration, governor and excitation control, and plant-level energy management in accordance with IEC * and IEC *** — is a significant advantage. Comfortable working at the boundary between power systems engineering and adjacent disciplines: power electronics, data centre infrastructure, civil interfaces, and commercial constraints. Fluent in English; Our benefits are designed to create real value for every individual-fueling engagement, performance, and growth.
