Critical Power Architect

ppAre you a creative Critical Power Architect who wants to shape reliable, efficient and more sustainable power infrastructure for hyperscale and colocation data centres? If so, we - as a trendsetter and market leader in energy management and distribution - might be looking for you! /ppDue to our continued growth, we are hiring an additional Critical Power Architect to build long-term, positive relationships with our clients. In this role you are responsible for the design, optimisation and implementation support of the main electrical infrastructure of a Data Center - from grid connection and MV distribution down to LV distribution to the IT load. You will be customer-facing and actively involved during both the sales (capture) and project execution phases. Our clients include leading data centre operators, consultants, engineering partners and (electrical) contractors. /ppWorking within Sales, you are the technical conscience and the eyes and ears of our customers. We don’t wait - we take initiative. You translate "That sounds interesting" into an engineered solution, a compelling value proposition and, ultimately, a contract. Join our team and we will give you access to the latest knowledge and the independence to act autonomously. Our ideal candidate has a creative and critical mind, speaks up when it matters, and conveys complex technical information to different audiences and levels (operators, consultants, contractors and internal stakeholders). /ppWhy this role? You are working alongside sales, designing the electrical grid from your laptop. This is actually being built, not just a concept in a journal, therefore we expect project experience and a sales mindset. /ph3Responsibilities /h3ulliDesign the end-to-end critical power architecture for a Data Center (MV and LV distribution), including all relevant interfaces (mechanical, controls, civil and IT/operations). /liliTranslate employer’s requirements, concept designs and design outline letters into engineered solutions and clear deliverables (single line diagrams, load lists, interface definitions, technical narratives and solution descriptions). /liliOwn and defend key design choices, including their functional, programme and financial impact (risk, cost, lead time, maintainability and efficiency). Further develop the technical relationship with end-clients, consultants and contractors. /liliSupport the sales organisation in capture activities: technical strategy, bid/no-bid input, clarifications, value engineering, and solution alignment with customer evaluation criteria. /liliWork closely with Siemens (international) capture and execution teams and our factories to integrate a complete solution: MV and LV switchgear, transformers, UPS systems, battery energy storage, automation/monitoring, and supporting systems (e.g., HVAC/CRAH) - often delivered in modular E-Houses or pre-assembled steel structures (skids). /li /ulh3Day-to-day activities /h3ulliReview customer requirements and site constraints; turn them into an initial architecture (topology, redundancy philosophy, key equipment ratings and space assumptions). /liliDevelop and iterate electrical concept deliverables: single line diagrams, load schedules, preliminary protection philosophy, earthing approach, short-circuit/thermal assumptions, and interface lists. /liliCoordinate with internal specialists (MV/LV, transformers, UPS/batteries, automation/monitoring, mechanical, HVAC) and with external stakeholders (consultants, GC/MEP, operator) to close technical gaps and resolve interfaces. /liliSupport bids and negotiations: answer technical queries, lead clarifications, provide compliance statements, propose alternatives/value engineering, and present solutions to customer teams. /liliDuring execution, stay involved as solution owner: review contractor/consultant drawings, attend design reviews, support factory/packaged-solution alignment (E-Houses/skids), and help manage changes and risks. /liliMaintain a view on lifecycle aspects: maintainability, commissioning approach, monitoring, expandability, and energy efficiency; capture lessons learned for future projects. /li /ulpAt Siemens in The Hague, the Center of Competence for Data Centers focuses on the realisation of multidisciplinary data centre projects globally - from early concept and customer engagement through to execution support and handover. Our team operates in a rapidly expanding environment with a strong focus on the latest developments in critical power and energy technology. We combine engineering know-how with the strength of our factories and delivery organisations. /ppOur portfolio includes power distribution and critical power systems such as medium and low voltage switchgear, MV/LV and LV/LV transformers, busbar systems, protective relays, automation and monitoring, UPS systems and battery systems. Depending on the project scope we also integrate supporting systems (e.g., HVAC/CRAH for electrical rooms) and deliver complete packaged solutions in modular structures like E-Houses and pre-assembled steel structures (skids). /ppLocation: /ppOur main office is in The Hague, The Netherlands. But there are options to work from either our office in Chennai, India or from within the UK. /ph3Your background /h3ulliA bachelor’s or master’s degree in Electrical Engineering / Power Engineering and at least 8 years of experience in designing power transmission and distribution systems and/or projects ranging from medium voltage down to low voltage - ideally in critical environments such as Data Centers. /liliA generalist mindset: you understand how multiple systems come together (MV/LV switchgear, transformers, protection, UPS/batteries and supporting infrastructure) and you can drive the interfaces between them. /liliExperience of 10+ years. Proven ability to juggle multiple projects and deadlines while staying sharp on the details (risks, assumptions, interfaces and compliance). /liliYou have the resilience and determination to nurture both short and long design cycles, and the communication skills to explain trade-offs to technical and non-technical stakeholders. /liliA special interest in interface management (electrical, mechanical, controls and civil) and creativity to think beyond industry standards/practices. Familiarity with relevant standards (e.g., IEC) and data centre design principles is a strong plus. /li /ulh3Our offer /h3pJoin our team and help shape the future of smart critical power solutions for data centres in a role that combines technical ownership with customer interaction in an international environment. /ppA dynamic position in an informal but professional environment with enthusiastic colleagues who are passionate about their work. You will be working for a stable company with a strong brand and have access to an international network! /pulliThis position will be filled on a full-time basis (40 hours per week) /liliIndicative gross monthly salary (full-time): €5,500 - €10,000, depending on experience and qualifications. Excluding holiday allowance (8%) and sales incentive program (25%). /liliFreedom and a healthy work-life balance. Embrace our flexible work environment with flex hours, telecommuting and digital workspaces (New Working Model). /liliLearn more about Benefits Budget, pension plans, and everything Siemens has to offer at /liliAt Siemens, you will have the opportunity to develop and grow within a leading company. /li /ulpDo you see yourself learning, growing, and succeeding at Siemens? If so, we would love to meet you. /ppIf you have any questions about this vacancy or the application procedure, please contact Jelmar van Hagen PO Talent Acquisition, +31 . /ppAt Siemens, diversity is important and we believe it creates a pleasant working atmosphere and greater success.
