About the company
Nebius is leading a new era in cloud infrastructure for the global AI economy. We are building a full-stack AI cloud platform that supports developers and enterprises from data and model training through to production deployment, without the cost and complexity of building large in-house AI/ML infrastructure.
Built by engineers, for engineers. From large-scale GPU orchestration to inference optimization, we own the hard problems across compute, storage, networking and applied AI.
Listed on Nasdaq (NBIS) and headquartered in Amsterdam, we have a global footprint with R&D hubs across Europe, the UK, North America and Israel. Our team of 1,500+ includes hundreds of engineers with deep expertise across hardware, software and AI R&D.
Responsibilities
- Lead electrical engineering evaluation of prospective sites, colocation capacity, and build-to-suit opportunities.
- Own technical assumptions for power distribution topology, capacity, and equipment strategy feeding the pre-construction risk register.
- Assess utility interconnection, on-site generation, and redundancy strategies (N, N+1, 2N) against site conditions and load requirements.
- Recommend Go / No-Go input on electrical feasibility as projects advance through key development milestones.
- Deliver technically validated electrical scope to the Delivery organization with complete documentation and minimized risk.
- Lead electrical due diligence on prospective sites, existing facilities, and colocation capacity under evaluation.
- Evaluate utility capacity, interconnection queue position, substation requirements, and on-site generation/UPS strategy against projected IT load.
- Assess electrical equipment availability, lead times (transformers, switchgear, generators), and vendor constraints that could affect schedule or capex.
- Ensure electrical assumptions are fully integrated into project budgets, capacity models, and schedules.
- Partner with Engineering to define power distribution topology and redundancy strategy appropriate to each site and deal structure.
- Evaluate EPMS/BMS controls integration and electrical system commissioning requirements early in the acquisition process.
- Provide technical input on switchgear, UPS, and generator selection, redundancy strategy, and capex trade-offs across candidate sites.
- Ensure electrical design intent is preserved as deals move from negotiation into development.
- Establish electrical technical readiness criteria as part of project handoff standards.
- Verify electrical design assumptions, equipment specifications, and capacity commitments are complete before turnover to Delivery.
- Identify and resolve electrical technical risks before they impact construction.
- Serve as the primary electrical engineering technical interface across Site Selection, Technical Due Diligence, Development, Energy, and Delivery.
- Coordinate with consulting engineers, utility providers, equipment vendors, and commissioning agents to validate executable electrical strategies.
- Align internal stakeholders and external consultants to prevent technical scope drift as projects move from acquisition into development.
