Arc Flash Engineer Jobs in Florida (NOW HIRING)

ABOUT HUT 8
Imagine the ultimate destination for those who want to work at the cutting edge of technology, energy, and infrastructure. Hut 8 is on a mission to build and operate some of the world's largest data centers for next-generation computing workloads, including AI, Colocation, Cloud, and Bitcoin Mining. We are proud to offer interesting and challenging opportunities for individuals who want to build teams, solve problems, and make an impact from day one. If you're an ambitious individual looking for a career that is as rewarding as it is challenging, you've come to the right place.
ABOUT THE ROLE
The Electrical Engineer owns electrical distribution design review for a data center build, from the MV switchgear interface to the rack. Working under the Engineering Lead, this role validates designs, studies, and submittals produced by design partners and vendors, and supports electrical commissioning through turnover. You are the project's technical conscience on the electrical system: if a design won't operate safely, maintain cleanly, or commission on time, you catch it before it's built.
Some of the key responsibilities you should expect are the following:
Distribution Design Review
Review MV/LV one-lines, equipment layouts, raceway and circuiting design from the substation interface through unit substations, switchgear, generators, UPS, busway, PDUs, and RPPs to the rack. Verify selectivity, redundancy behavior (N+1/2N as specified), equipment ratings, and clearances against code and program standards.
Power System Studies
Validate short-circuit, protective device coordination, arc-flash, and load-flow studies (SKM/ETAP). Confirm study inputs match the actual design and vendor data, chase discrepancies to ground, and ensure arc-flash labeling and PPE requirements flow to the field.
Submittal & Vendor Data Review
Review major electrical equipment submittals - switchgear, breakers, generators, UPS, busway, transformers - against specifications. Track technical exceptions, witness factory acceptance tests for critical gear, and confirm settings files and nameplate data reconcile with the studies.
Construction Support
Respond to electrical RFIs with clear, buildable answers. Review field changes for ratings, code, and coordination impacts. Walk installations with the MEP superintendent at key milestones - equipment setting, terminations, grounding - and flag quality issues early.
Commissioning Support
Review electrical test procedures and Cx scripts for Levels 2-5. Witness key tests (protective relay verification, load bank, UPS/generator transfers, pull-the-plug scenarios), drive electrical punch and Cx issues to closure with the Electrical SME, and validate settings and test records for turnover.
Standards & Lessons Learned
Contribute to Hut 8 electrical design standards, specification updates, and typical details. Capture field and commissioning lessons back into the next project's design.
ABOUT YOU
- What we're looking for:
- 5+ years of electrical design or owner's-side electrical review for data centers or mission-critical facilities (hospitals, semiconductor, trading, or heavy industrial also considered).
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering; PE license preferred.
- Deep working knowledge of MV/LV distribution, standby generation, UPS topologies (including distributed and block-redundant designs), and critical power one-line conventions.
- Hands-on experience validating power system studies in SKM or ETAP - you can find the wrong input, not just read the summary page.
- Fluency with NEC, IEEE, and NETA acceptance testing standards, and with arc-flash/NFPA 70E requirements.
- Submittal and factory acceptance test experience with major electrical OEMs (ABB, Eaton, Schneider, Vertiv, Caterpillar/Cummins or similar).
- Commissioning exposure across Levels 1-5, including integrated systems testing in a mission-critical environment.
- Clear technical writing - RFI responses and review comments the field can act on without a follow-up call.
