About The Job Our thirst for technology is a part of everything we do. The Data Center Engineering team takes the physical design of our data centers into the future. Our lab mirrors a research and development department -- cutting-edge strategies are born, tested and tested again. Along with a team of great minds, you take on complex topics like how we use power or how to run state-of-the-art, environmentally-friendly facilities. You're a visionary who optimizes for efficiencies and never stops seeking improvements -- even small changes that can make a huge impact. You generate ideas, communicate recommendations to senior-level executives and drive implementation alongside facilities technicians. With your technical expertise, you ensure compliance with codes and standards, develop infrastructure improvements and serve as an expert in your specialty (e.g., cooling, electrical). As a Senior Data Center Engineer, you will provide field electrical engineering support and issue resolution for the UK campus, supporting the Technical Project Manager in the localized design and delivery of projects in line with the schedule, cost, quality, technical compliance and safety requirements. You will serve as the primary contact between Google, the Project Management Consultancy and Specialist Contractors, coordinating with stakeholders for all electrical field engineer efforts. Responsible for overseeing the appointed electrical installation activities and ensuring that the construction operations and performance is in compliance with project or corporate environment, EHS stands for Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS), quality and schedule requirements, whilst maintaining relationships when interfacing with project stakeholders. You will identify the workload while managing specific discipline owner representatives to support the delivery of projects as per above mentioned expectations. Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible. Responsibilities

• Define data center system-level, product architecture, and research and development, while helping to develop operations and maintenance procedures for systems/processes.
• Conduct engineering analysis and research designs and methods of data center equipment and facilities.
• Ensure designs and installations meet requirements (e.g., predicted cooling, structural, operational concerns, etc.).
• Provide technical leadership to the projects, support and optimize project design, scope, schedule, quality, commissioning, and safety for the electrical discipline, and provide feedback to the central partner teams on possible improvements.
• Contribute to the development of cross-project, cross-functional, and cross-organizational procedures and ensure alignment of the Electrical Engineers' work with multiple teams/projects.
