This leader will build and lead the organization serving as OCI’s technical authority for power
systems from the utility grid through the campus power interface. The team will own the
engineering of the full portfolio of power solutions required to enable GW-scale AI and cloud
infrastructure, including utility interconnections, transmission and substation interfaces,
battery energy storage systems (BESS), utility load-management solutions, microgrids, on-
site generation, grid-support technologies, and emerging power technologies.
The organization will engage at the earliest stages of site development to evaluate power
feasibility and risk, establish the technical strategy for delivering power to the site, and work
directly with utilities and energy partners to develop solutions that improve capacity, resiliency,
flexibility, and speed to market. The team will also own the engineering, modeling, testing, and
technical validation necessary to ensure new power solutions perform as intended before they are
deployed at scale.
This role will partner closely with OCI’s Energy Contracting, Design Engineering, Capacity
Delivery, Construction, Commissioning, and Operations organizations. While commercial
organizations retain ownership of energy procurement and commercial agreements, Power
Systems Engineering will provide the technical analysis, requirements, system architecture,
and engineering judgment necessary to inform those decisions.
The ideal candidate combines deep power systems expertise with demonstrated experience
developing innovative utility and behind-the-meter power solutions, building strong engineering
teams, and translating complex grid and generation challenges into scalable infrastructure
strategies.
