Manager - Electrical Design

The Electrical Design Manager is responsible for the strategic planning, technical governance, and end-to-end delivery of the electrical infrastructure design for data center facilities and GW-scale data center campuses. The primary objective is to lead the development of resilient, scalable, and high-performance power architectures—from Extra-High Voltage (EHV) grid interconnection to the point of delivery at the IT rack, ensuring seamless integration across the entire power chain.

• Oversee and deliver designs that meet the technical requirements of customers, relevant government/local authorities, and Khazna operational requirements.
• Lead the end-to-end design lifecycle with a focus on Lean Construction and DfMA (Design for Manufacture and Assembly) to reduce on-site complexity and accelerate deployment.
• Proactively manage the Value Engineering process to eliminate non-essential infrastructure costs while ensuring the design remains fully 'future-proofed' for GW-scale expansion.
• Drive the "Design-to-Cost" (DTC) strategy by identifying and eliminating "over-engineering" in electrical topologies without compromising technical compliance.
• Evaluate design choices based on a 20-year TCO, balancing initial CAPEX savings against long-term OPEX and energy efficiency.
• Optimize the electrical footprint to maximize "Revenue-Generating White Space" by utilizing high-density components and integrated power modules.
• Develop "Plug-and-Play" electrical design standards that reduce engineering hours and leverage economies of scale in procurement and off-site manufacturing.
• Collaborate with the supply chain to implement lean techniques, such as pre-fabricated modular power rooms and kitting, to reduce on-site labor and material waste.
• Work with equipment suppliers and the Khazna innovation team to integrate the latest technologies that improve efficiency and reduce costs.
• Manage concept designs, equipment sizing, and supporting calculations in-house to ensure design confidentiality and meeting customer requirements.
• Act as the focal point for clients, leading technical discussions, clarifications, and site visits.
• Address technical questionnaires raised by customers during the RFP/Bid stage. Collaborate with marketing, product, and internal engineering teams to integrate holistic design solutions. Stay updated on market trends and incorporate them into best practices.
• Serve as the Single Point of Contact (SPOC) for design consultants throughout the project lifecycle to ensure seamless communication and delivery.
• Resolve technical conflicts or discrepancies between contractors and advisors from a design perspective, proposing optimal solutions that protect company interests.
• Define and monitor Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for design consultants, focusing on "First-Time Right" submittals and the reduction of RFIs during the construction phase.
• Lead and manage Long Lead Equipment (LLE) RFPs and frameworks, ensuring EM system selection and designs comply with international codes and design intent.
• Supervise and validate calculations, equipment specifications, and system designs/layouts to ensure technical integrity.
• Ensure the delivery of design drawings and specifications adheres to international standards to mitigate corporate risk.
• Prepare site instructions and Employer’s Requirements (ERs) for contractors to be integrated into formal contract agreements.
• Conduct regular on-site inspections to ensure adherence to international standards and approved design specifications.
• Lead engagements with potential customers to understand their technical requirements and present the technical aspects of Khazna facilities to demonstrate compliance.
• Create system designs for new or existing facilities, (retro fits), to meet customer requirements.

• Lead technical engagements with government authorities and utility providers regarding the design and coordination of High Voltage (HV) and Extra-High Voltage (EHV) substations.
• Ensure full compliance with national grid codes, safety regulations, and utility provider technical requirements.
