Principal Power & Energy Infrastructure Lead

ABOUT THE TEAM

Andurils Real Estate & Facilities organization builds and runs the physical infrastructure behind the companys manufacturing test and office footprint. Facilities Operations keeps that footprint running electrical distribution mechanical systems life safety and the preventive maintenance programs that keep production uninterrupted. As our site portfolio scales power has become the single most schedule-critical input to new capacity: megawatt-scale loads multi-year utility interconnection queues and backup architectures that have to hold up under real production demand.

ABOUT THE JOB

We are hiring a single deeply technical owner for power across the portfolio the person the organization goes to before a site is sited while it is being designed and for the decade it operates. You will sit at the intersection of pre-construction design facilities operations and utility relations: right-sizing demand so we neither strand capital nor throttle production designing grid and backup systems that survive real-world failure modes standing up the maintenance programs that keep them reliable and working utilities across the country to pull energization dates forward.

This is a senior individual contributor role. You will not manage a team on day one; you will influence design decisions capital plans and utility negotiations across every site we build.

WHAT YOULL DO

• Pre-construction & Design
  • Own the power narrative for every new site and expansion from site selection diligence through design development permit set and commissioning.
  • Right-size user demand. Build load models grounded in actual equipment lists duty cycles and diversity factors rather than nameplate sums and defend those numbers to designers utilities and finance.
  • Set the grid interconnection strategy: service voltage and configuration primary vs. secondary metering transformer and switchgear sizing and the staging plan that lets us occupy early and scale later.
  • Define backup and resiliency architecture generators UPS battery storage paralleling and transfer schemes N1 decisions tied to which loads actually have to ride through an outage.
  • Evaluate on-site generation and microgrid options where they shorten schedule lower cost or de-risk utility dependence.
  • Review electrical design packages from AE partners; catch the sizing selective coordination and maintainability problems while they are still drawings.
  • Build the cost and schedule inputs for power scope in capital plans and flag power-driven schedule risk early enough to act on it.
• Facilities Operations & Operational Excellence
  • Partner with Facilities to translate each new system into a preventive maintenance program PM tasks intervals spares and vendor service agreements loaded into the CMMS before turnover not after the first failure.
  • Own the reliability standard for electrical infrastructure across sites: infrared scanning breaker and relay testing generator and ATS exercise regimes battery and UPS maintenance arc flash studies and label currency.
  • Establish power monitoring and metering standards so that load growth power quality and capacity headroom are visible per site rather than discovered during the next outage.
  • Lead root cause analysis on power events and drive corrective actions to closure across design vendors and operations.
  • Develop commissioning and turnover requirements that Facilities can actually accept documentation training sequences of operation and as-builts.
  • Build the playbooks standards and basis-of-design documents that let this work repeat at the next site without starting over.
• Utility Strategy & Acceleration
  • Serve as Andurils connection to the industry understanding the direction of alternative energy strategies and driving strategic plans for Andurils test proof of concept efforts related to new solutions.
  • Serve as the primary relationship owner with investor-owned utilities municipal utilities and cooperatives across the U.S. portfolio.
  • Find creative paths to fast-track utility work: phased or temporary service customer-furnished long-lead equipment contractor-of-choice and self-perform arrangements construction cost advances and early-works agreements that start civil scope ahead of the full service agreement.
  • Negotiate line extension agreements service contracts rate schedules and cost allocations and know the tariff well enough to know what is actually negotiable.
  • Manage interconnection applications and queue position and keep energization dates honest and visible to the project teams depending on them.
  • Track state federal and utility incentive rebate and economic development programs and pull them into the capital plan where they apply.
  • Build durable relationships with utility planning and engineering staff so that Anduril is the customer they want to solve for.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 10 years of experience in electrical power systems utility industrial data center manufacturing or mission-critical facilities with direct ownership of medium-voltage distribution and backup power.
• Demonstrated experience taking projects from load study through utility interconnection to energization including at least one project at multi-megawatt scale.
• Working fluency with NEC NFPA 70E NFPA 110 and IEEE standards and with the arc flash short circuit and coordination studies that accompany them.
• Track record negotiating directly with utilities on service tariffs line extensions and schedule.
• Ability to build and defend a load model: equipment lists duty cycles diversity growth allowance and the assumptions behind each.
• Experience partnering with facilities or operations teams on preventive maintenance programs CMMS implementation and reliability standards for electrical assets.
• Comfort operating as the sole owner of a domain setting the standard driving alignment across design construction and operations and being accountable for the outcome.
• Willingness to travel to sites across the U.S. as projects require.
• S. Person status as defined by ITAR (22 CFR 120.62).

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Professional Engineer (PE) license in electrical engineering or equivalent depth without the license.
• Prior experience inside a utility distribution planning key accounts or service engineering.
• Experience with on-site generation battery energy storage or microgrid design and controls.
• Familiarity with high-growth manufacturing environments where power demand changes faster than the plan of record.
• Experience with SCADA power monitoring platforms or building management system integration.
• Exposure to secure or classified facility requirements.

Travel & Working Conditions

Expect travel of approximately 2540% to active project sites and utility meetings. Work will include time in active construction and manufacturing environments with appropriate PPE and occasional after-hours support for outages switching and commissioning.
