About the Role
SGS is looking for an experienced Lead Electrical Commissioning Engineer to support a major Tier III / AI Data Center project in Saudi Arabia.
The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on experience in electrical testing and commissioning of large-scale or hyperscale Data Centers, including high-voltage power systems, critical power infrastructure, integrated systems testing, and electrical failure simulations.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead electrical testing and commissioning activities across Data Center commissioning levels, from initial inspections and equipment testing through integrated systems testing and final handover.
- Oversee commissioning of HV/MV/LV electrical systems, substations, transformers, switchgear, UPS systems, generators, ATS and critical power distribution.
- Plan, review and execute commissioning procedures, test scripts, method statements, risk assessments and commissioning documentation.
- Lead or coordinate Integrated Systems Testing (IST), including utility failure simulations, generator failure scenarios, UPS failure testing, load-transfer testing and redundant power-path failure simulations.
- Conduct and coordinate black-building tests and electrical system reliability testing.
- Verify protection relay testing, electrical protection coordination, system redundancy and operational resilience.
- Coordinate with mechanical, BMS, EPMS, fire and life safety, ICT and other commissioning teams to ensure integrated system performance.
- Manage commissioning issues, technical investigations, corrective actions, test records and final handover documentation.
- Ensure compliance with project specifications, applicable electrical standards, safety procedures and Data Center reliability requirements.
