Electrical Engineer

Our client is a privately owned, internationally operating digital infrastructure company building and running data centre and connectivity assets across high-growth markets. They are commissioning a major new AI-ready data centre campus in Batam, Indonesia, and are looking for an Electrical Engineer to join the Data Centre team, reporting to the Campus Critical Facilities Manager.

This is a core technical role at the heart of facility operations. You'll be responsible for keeping critical electrical systems reliable, safe and continuously available — managing day-to-day operations, executing maintenance strategies, and driving improvements across the electrical infrastructure that keeps the site running.

What the role involves:

You'll manage the operation, maintenance and reliability of critical power infrastructure — UPS systems, generators, switchgear and power distribution — and make sure it stays available around the clock. You'll execute preventive, predictive and corrective maintenance, troubleshoot faults, and lead root cause analysis to resolve issues quickly. You'll also play a key part in commissioning and operational readiness as new infrastructure comes online.
This is a hands-on role that combines engineering expertise with risk management and compliance. You'll work alongside cross-functional teams and coordinate vendors and contractors, all while keeping the site running with minimal operational impact.

Key responsibilities

• Managing the operation, maintenance and reliability of critical electrical infrastructure including UPS, generators, switchgear and power distribution

• Executing preventive, predictive and corrective maintenance to maximise equipment availability and uptime

• Troubleshooting electrical faults, performing root cause analysis and driving timely resolution

• Developing and reviewing MOPs, SOPs, EOPs, maintenance reports and technical documentation

• Ensuring compliance with electrical safety standards, PTW requirements, regulatory obligations and industry best practice

• Coordinating maintenance, upgrades and project activities with vendors and contractors

• Supporting commissioning, testing and operational readiness for new installations and upgrades

• Monitoring system performance, identifying risks and implementing reliability and efficiency improvements

• Maintaining accurate technical documentation, maintenance records and asset information

What we're looking for:

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering

• Strong track record across data centres, critical facilities, industrial plants or mission-critical environments

• Strong technical knowledge of electrical distribution systems, UPS, generators, switchgear and critical power infrastructure

• Proven experience in troubleshooting and electrical system reliability management

• Familiarity with electrical safety regulations, risk assessments, PTW and LOTO processes

• Strong analytical, problem-solving and decision-making capabilities

• Proficient in written and spoken English

Projects of this scale don't come along often. If you've got the critical-power background and want to help bring a major AI-ready data centre to life from the ground up, reach out to us for a confidential conversation.
