Principal Operations Engineer, Electrical — Data Center Operations

We are seeking a Principal Operations Engineer, Electrical to serve as the most senior technical authority for the operational electrical infrastructure across our hyperscale AI data center portfolio. This is a field-first, deeply technical leadership role for an operator who has spent a career running mission-critical electrical systems and is ready to set the standard for how a rapidly scaling fleet is operated, audited, and improved.

You will operate as the technical arm of senior operations leadership in the field — leading site assessments and operational audits, driving the technical readiness of teams ahead of site activation, reviewing designs and specifications from an operational lens, and feeding operational learnings back into the design and manufacturing organization as we shift toward a productized, repeatable build model. You will be a force multiplier across our cluster leads, field engineers, and commissioning teams, and the connective tissue between operations, design, construction, hardware, and EHS.

The ideal candidate has come up through the trades, the field, or both, and has earned the technical respect that comes from decades of work in switchgear lineups, substations, and inside live MV/HV distribution systems. Formal engineering credentials are valued but not required — practical depth, judgment under pressure, the ability to teach, and the discipline to keep critical infrastructure running through change are what define this role.
