Head of Electrical Engineering AI Infrastructure

About the Company

A rapidly growing APAC technology company is developing and operating next-generation AI infrastructure designed for high-density GPU compute. The business designs, builds and operates large-scale AI facilities, combining advanced power systems, liquid cooling, energy management and proprietary AI cloud technology.

The company is expanding its AI Factory portfolio across APAC and is looking for a senior electrical engineering leader to oversee electrical engineering delivery across multiple sites.

The Role

As Head of Electrical Engineering, you will lead the electrical engineering function across a portfolio of large-scale AI infrastructure projects. You will be responsible for technical governance, engineering execution, quality assurance and commissioning readiness across sites in Australia, Indonesia and future APAC locations.

You will:

Lead and develop a geographically distributed team of site-based electrical engineers.

Own electrical engineering execution across MV/LV distribution, UPS, standby generation, protection, power quality, earthing and bonding.

Provide technical governance from tender and detailed design through construction, commissioning and handover.

Manage design reviews, deviations, change control, FAT/SAT, commissioning readiness and safe energisation.

Work closely with Construction, Commissioning, Operations, Mechanical/Thermal, Controls and Networking teams.

Manage consultants, contractors, EPC partners, utilities, regulators and major equipment vendors.

Feed site learnings and commissioning outcomes back into the company's reference electrical design and engineering standards.

Ensure consistent electrical engineering standards are applied across multiple countries and regulatory environments.

About You

The ideal candidate will have:

12 years' electrical engineering experience, ideally within hyperscale data centres, mission-critical infrastructure, industrial power systems or other high-availability environments.

Strong expertise across MV/LV distribution, UPS, generators, switching, protection and relay coordination, arc-flash, earthing and bonding.

Experience with power system modelling, including load flow, short-circuit, motor starting and transient stability.

Proven experience across tender design reviews, contractor/consultant management, FAT, SAT and multi-level commissioning.

Experience leading electrical engineering teams across multiple sites or countries.

Strong understanding of electrical design governance, technical assurance, change control and construction delivery.

Experience contributing to Basis of Design documents, engineering standards, templates or reference architectures.

Experience working across APAC markets, particularly Australia and/or Indonesia, is highly desirable.

A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, ideally with a power systems focus.

Location

Australia or Singapore, with regular travel across the company's APAC project portfolio.
