Power Delivery Lead (MV Distribution)

The role

The Power Delivery Lead will design medium-voltage networks that carry power from generation blocks to data halls. This person will perform network studies, set protection philosophies, and create standard specifications for MV equipment.

What you will do

• Design the medium-voltage network to carry power from generation blocks to data halls.
• Design cluster ties and MV substations including bus arrangement, transformer selection, and switching sequences.
• Run network studies including load flow, voltage drop, short circuit, protection coordination, and EMT studies.
• Set protection philosophy and relay settings for inverter-dominated networks.
• Write standard specifications for MV switchgear, transformers, cable, and relaying.
• Define the design envelope including block count, feeder length, fault level, and load step.
• Fold site learnings back into design revisions.

Required qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in medium-voltage power distribution design, including network studies, protection coordination, and MV switchgear and substation design.
• Experience personally building power system models of an MV network and producing load flow, short circuit and cable sizing results for issued-for-construction drawings.
• Experience building electromagnetic transient (EMT) models of switching, energization or islanded events.
• Experience setting protection philosophy and relay settings for a system with limited or variable fault current.
• Experience designing MV distribution down to the hardware including metal-clad switchgear, transformers, cable and duct bank ampacity, and grounding.
• Ability to defend design choices against NEC, NFPA 70E and IEEE requirements with engineers of record and AHJs.
• Experience designing an MV substation or bus tie scheme and writing switching sequences.
• Experience turning a one-off design into a standard applied across multiple projects.
• Comfortable with regular travel of 25% or more.

Nice to have

• Transmission-side study and protection work, including interconnection and EMT studies.
• Grid-forming and islanded systems.
• A Professional Engineer licence.
