What you will be responsible for
Engineering & System Responsibilities
- High/Medium Voltage System Management: Provide expert engineering oversight, operation, and maintenance strategies for high- and medium-voltage distribution systems (e.g., switchgear, transformers, feeders, protective relaying, synchronization, and power quality).
- Design & Project Implementation: Review, interpret, and validate complex engineering documentation (one-lines, P&IDs, control diagrams). Participate in the design, development, and commissioning of new electrical infrastructure and modifications related to the AI center conversion.
- Advanced Diagnostics & Optimization: Perform complex root-cause analysis and advanced troubleshooting on power quality issues, motor controls (VFDs, soft starters), PLCs (Allen-Bradley/Siemens), and industrial control panels. Utilize specialized test equipment (e.g., megger, thermal scanners, HV apparatus) for condition monitoring and optimization.
- Critical Equipment Oversight: Engineer the reliability and performance of major equipment, including MCCs, generators, UPS systems, and power quality monitoring apparatus.
Safety, Compliance & Leadership
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensure all electrical engineering design, operations, and maintenance activities strictly adhere to Norwegian/local codes, standards, and industrial safety practices (e.g., arc-flash boundary calculations, LOTO procedures, hot-work).
- HSE and Documentation: Develop, implement, and audit HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) protocols, risk assessments, and deviation management. Ensure robust digital documentation (CMMS, engineering files) is maintained for all systems and maintenance activities.
- Supervision & Mentorship: Provide technical direction and mentorship to electrical technicians and maintenance crews, coordinating tasks with cross-functional teams (Facilities, Operations, IT/Network) to ensure seamless data center availability.
How you will stand out
