Role Overview

The Electrical Engineer owns the end-to-end design of electrical power distribution and systems for data centre and mission-critical facilities — from concept through IFC to as-built. The role independently performs protection and coordination studies, selects equipment, and leads multidisciplinary coordination.

The position supports fast-track delivery at CTS's São Paulo engineering hub, working closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the design of electrical distribution systems: switchgear, transformers, UPS systems, generators, PDUs, busbar systems, and LV/ELV switchboards.

• Perform protection and coordination studies and arc flash assessments using ETAP or SKM PowerTools.

• Develop cable sizing, voltage drop, and load-flow calculations to IEC 60364, IEC 61439, and NBR 5410.

• Develop technical drawings, single-line diagrams, specifications, schedules, and engineering documentation.

• Lead MEP coordination and clash detection (electrical containment vs. mechanical and structural routing) in Navisworks.

• Respond to RFIs, review submittals, and approve/release design packages within the assigned scope.

• Coordinate with generator, UPS, and switchgear vendors on equipment selection and integration.

• Support integrated testing and commissioning of electrical systems.

• Mentor junior engineers and review their design deliverables.

Required Skills and Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering; Master's an advantage.

• 5–10 years of experience in electrical design, including exposure to mission-critical/data-centre projects.

• Strong command of IEC 60364, IEC 61439, and Brazilian electrical standards (NBR 5410, NBR 5419).

• Proficiency in AutoCAD Electrical, Revit MEP, Navisworks, plus ETAP or SKM PowerTools for protection/coordination studies.

• Working knowledge of UPS technologies (Li-ion and VRLA), generator/genset specifications, and switchgear systems.

• Advanced or fluent English for collaboration with international teams.

• Strong problem-solving, coordination, and stakeholder-management skills.
