Electrical Systems Specialist

Your Impact

As the Electrical Systems Specialist on site, reporting directly to the Associate Director - Electrical Systems, you will work closely with the DC Operations and Development teams making your mark in a number of ways:   

• Lead high voltage switching operations across SYD3 and apply an accepted methodology to ensure the safe operation of all high-voltage equipment.  

• Engaging with our General Contractors, and our DC operations team to develop Methods of Procedures (MOPs) to ensure they meet risk mitigation and safety requirements.   

• Work with the commissioning team to deliver, technically accurate and timely projects for our customers.  

• Provide technical support for our Low Voltage equipment to our operations team.  

Key focus areas include: 

• Supporting the safe operation of electrical infrastructure, including medium-voltage and low-voltage systems across the data Centre campus. 

• Performing authorized medium-voltage switching operations and assisting in low-voltage switching activities. 
• Monitoring equipment condition, identifying defects, and supporting rectification activities to maintain system reliability and compliance. 

 

What You'll Do

• Author high voltage switching instructions and then lead a peer review session to confirm the accuracy of the switching procedure.  

• Prepare or review MOPS (Method of Procedure) for construction based electrical integration works.  

• Review and assist in MOP preparation from other related partners. This could be either MV or LV works.  

• Lead the maintenance and inspection of the low voltage network, this includes Generators, UPS’s including DC systems and Busways.   

• Assist our commissioning team with electrical-related apparatus. This includes high voltage apparatus, kiosks, low voltage generators, or uninterruptible power supplies.   

• Assist in design reviews for new projects within SYD region 

• Have a detailed working knowledge of our low Voltage Infrastructure. This equipment will include Kiosk Transformers, low voltage generators, PTU, (uninterruptable power supplies), Busways and other low voltage equipment. 

• Assist AirTrunk’s Safety team during incident investigations, by supplying technical mentorship.   

 

What You'll Bring

• Minimum 5-8 years of proven experience in safely performing High Voltage switching operations and Low Voltage equipment.  

• Electrical License requirements  

• A sound technical knowledge of MV and LV systems. These could include EHV, MV, LV Generators, PTU’s (UPS’s) and Automatic transfer Switches functionality.  
• Good communication skills 
• Be able to read and interpret single line diagrams, technical diagrams / systems and be able to communicate these systems and functions to them to non-technical colleagues.  

• Be able assist our Safety team with electrical (technical or non-Technical). This could be both in reviewing an incident or site preparation.  

• Willingness to travel to AirTrunk’s other sites in Australia for support or coverage 

• Experience performing electrical switching operations, inspections, and maintenance activities in accordance with approved procedures.
