This is a senior leadership role that requires strong technical depth, sound engineering judgment, and the ability to lead teams through growth, complexity, and fast-paced execution. The successful candidate will build and lead a high-performing electrical engineering team, partner closely with cross-functional stakeholders, and drive consistent, high-quality design outcomes that support OCI’s business objectives for capacity growth, reliability, speed to market, and operational excellence.
As a Director in this organization, you will be expected to operate both strategically and tactically—setting vision for the function while also engaging on critical technical decisions, complex design challenges, and organizational priorities.
- Lead and develop a team of electrical engineers supporting OCI’s data center design initiatives.
- Provide technical and organizational leadership for the design, review, and continuous improvement of mission-critical electrical systems supporting OCI data centers.
- Establish and drive engineering standards, design guidelines, and best practices that improve consistency, quality, scalability, and execution across a growing portfolio.
- Establish team norms and leadership expectations that reinforce individual and collective ownership, disciplined execution, and a bias for resolving issues rather than escalating them without recommendations.
- Partner closely with Design Management, Mechanical Engineering, Controls Engineering, Construction, Commissioning, Operations, Supply Chain, and other partner teams to ensure alignment across the full project lifecycle.
- Act as a senior escalation point for complex electrical engineering issues, design tradeoffs, risk evaluations, and technical decision-making.
- Drive lessons learned and continuous improvement efforts by incorporating operational feedback, project outcomes, and field experience into future standards and designs.
- Represent the electrical engineering function in leadership reviews, cross-organizational discussions, and strategic planning efforts.
- Build organizational capability through hiring, team development, talent planning, and creation of scalable engineering processes and workflows.
