Electrical Superintendent

The DC Electrical Superintendent is responsible for managing the on-site delivery of electrical works during construction of IREN's renewable-powered data center projects. The role ensures that medium- and low-voltage electrical systems, substations, transformers, switchgear, generators, UPS systems, power distribution, grounding and bonding, lighting, controls interfaces, and associated infrastructure are installed, tested, energized, and handed over safely, on schedule, within budget, and in accordance with drawings, specifications, quality standards, regulations, and high-performance compute requirements. The role contributes to the successful delivery of IREN's Spain data center projects by supervising electrical contractors, coordinating installation sequencing and energization activities, managing interfaces with mechanical, CSA, utilities, controls, commissioning, vendors, and operations teams, monitoring quality and safety, resolving field issues, and ensuring reliable and safe mission-critical infrastructure. Responsibilities Reporting to the General Superintendent, the DC Electrical Superintendent is responsible for: -Manage the on-site execution of electrical works, including substations, transformers, MV/LV switchgear, generators, UPS systems, busways, distribution boards, cabling, containment, grounding and bonding, lighting, power monitoring, controls interfaces, and associated infrastructure. -Supervise electrical contractors, subcontractors, vendors, and site teams, monitoring progress, manpower, materials, installation standards, and adherence to approved schedules, drawings, procedures, and execution plans. -Coordinate electrical interfaces with mechanical, CSA, utilities, controls/BMS/EPMS, ICT, security, fire protection, commissioning, operations, and equipment vendors, aligning sequencing, access, installation, temporary power, energization, inspections, testing, and handover. -Review and implement electrical construction documentation, including drawings, specifications, single-line diagrams, RFIs, shop drawings, method statements, inspection and test plans, cable schedules, equipment data, permits, quality records, ensuring compliance, coordination, and traceability. -Manage installation readiness and energization, ensuring systems meet inspection, testing, safety, documentation, and commissioning prerequisites, while coordinating electrical safety procedures, LOTO requirements, energization plans, and controlled access to live systems. -Monitor quality, safety, and environmental performance through inspections, audits, electrical safety reviews, NCR resolution, snagging, corrective actions, and testing in line with project, regulatory, manufacturer, and IREN standards. -- Identify and resolve site issues, constraints, clashes, deviations, and coordination risks, assessing impacts on cost, schedule, quality, safety, energization, commissioning, and operations, and escalating critical matters when required. -Support testing and commissioning readiness by coordinating equipment inspections, pre-functional checks, electrical testing, vendor start-up, turnover, punch-list closure, documentation, and commissioning interfaces. -Support project controls and reporting through progress updates, lookahead planning, risks and issues, equipment and material status, energization milestones, inspection readiness, testing status, and handover documentation. -Promote improvement, electrical safety, cross-discipline collaboration, and alignment with IREN's sustainability, reliability, scalability, energy efficiency, and high-performance infrastructure standards.
Requisitos mínimos:
- At least 8-10 years of experience in electrical construction management, site supervision, field engineering, or electrical installation delivery, preferably within data centers, mission-critical facilities, industrial infrastructure, power generation, substations, energy projects, or other large-scale technically complex construction environments.
-Degree or technical qualification in Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Construction Management, or a related technical discipline; relevant certifications in electrical safety, HV/MV operations, construction safety, site management, quality, commissioning, or project management are well regarded.
