Job Description

n

Electrical Lead – Data Centres (ANZ) n

Location: Sydney / Melbourne / Brisbane

n

Sector: Data Centre & Mission-Critical Infrastructure

About the Role n

IKG Talent is partnering with a major global engineering and infrastructure consultancy to find an Electrical Lead for their ANZ Data Centre team. This business delivers large-scale hyperscale, colocation and mission-critical projects for some of the world's biggest technology and infrastructure operators, and the ANZ data centre pipeline is expanding quick.

n

This role sits at the centre of that growth. You'll carry technical accountability across a portfolio of live projects while also shaping how the team delivers, wins and grows in the region — it's as much about setting technical direction and building client trust as it is about the engineering itself.

n

It suits someone who wants genuine influence over how a data centre practice is run, not just a seat within it: shaping engineering standards, backing junior engineers as they come up through the ranks, and being the person clients call when a project needs a steady technical hand.

What the Role Covers n

You'll hold electrical leadership across major hyperscale, colocation and mission-critical builds throughout Australia and New Zealand, working alongside project teams, client stakeholders and the wider international technical network to land strong engineering outcomes.

n

Day to day, that looks like:

n

n




- Owning electrical delivery across a live portfolio of mission-critical projects, from early design through to commissioning and handover
n
- Directing multidisciplinary design teams and keeping delivery on track at each project stage
n
- Setting the bar on engineering quality — reviewing designs, signing off critical deliverables and catching issues before they become problems
n
- Balancing technical rigour against commercial reality: cost, programme and risk all matter alongside the engineering
n
- Acting as a trusted technical voice for clients, and building the kind of relationships that bring in repeat and referral work
n
- Developing the electrical engineers around you, so capability grows across the team, not just within one role
n

What You'll Bring nn
- A strong track record delivering complex electrical engineering on data centre, mission-critical or comparable advanced facilities projects
n
- Experience running multidisciplinary teams through large, technically demanding builds
n
- Solid grounding in the electrical systems that underpin mission-critical environments (redundancy, resilience, power distribution and the like)
n
- A history of working directly with major clients — not just delivering to a brief, but shaping it
n
- Strong commercial instincts: an understanding of risk, programme and how engineering decisions land commercially
n
- Chartered status and a relevant electrical engineering qualification
