Modeller - BIM, Electrical - Data Center

Location - Chennai (Preferred) | Mumbai | Bangalore | Hyderabad | Gurgaon | Noida The Electrical Modeller - BIM, Data Center will be responsible for detailed electrical layout planning, SLD interpretation/development, cable routing design, and preparation of BOQs and specifications for large-scale Data Centers (multi-megawatt facilities).

This role requires strong expertise in AutoCAD, electrical systems, and spatial coordination, ensuring all designs are technically accurate, fully coordinated, and constructible.

You will bridge the gap between electrical engineering intent (SLDs) and real-world execution (layouts, routing, installation feasibility).

Key Responsibilities 1.

Electrical SLDs & Space Planning & Layout Design (CORE ROLE) a.

Substation & HT System Layout Develop layouts for: Data Center Campus from Sub-station to Data Halls Transformers, RMUs, HT panels Plan - Equipment placement, maintenance clearances, access paths Design – From SLD to cable/bus-duct routing (trenches, bus bar, ducts, shafts, overhead systems) for IT load, Mechanical Power, House power, and ELV Cables.) b.

HT → MV System Layout Convert SLD into detailed layouts for: HT switchgear Transformers MV panels Define: Cable routing paths and segregation Equipment positioning and alignment c.

MV → LV System Layout Develop layouts for: MV panels, LV panels, MDBs UPS systems and battery rooms Plan: Cable paths, risers, trenches, shafts Ensure: Efficient routing and space optimization d.

Low Voltage System Planning for IT Load, Mechanical Power and House load.

Layout design for: LV panels, PCCs, MCCs UPS skids, PDUs, RPPs Bus ducts / busways Plan: Busbar routing, clearances, and supports Cable tray routing and segregation 2.

Cable Routing & Pathway Design (VERY IMPORTANT) Design routing for: HT / MV / LV cables Control and auxiliary cables Plan: Trenches, shafts, trays, and underground routing Ensure: Segregation (redundancy paths, A/B feeds) Minimal congestion and constructability 3.

Single Line Diagrams (SLD) & System Understanding Develop and/or interpret: Electrical SLDs for data center power systems Align: SLD with physical layouts and routing Ensure: Consistency between design intent and execution 4.

BOQ & Technical Documentation Prepare: BOQs for electrical systems Equipment schedules (HT, MV, LV, UPS, Generators, Chillers, Pumps etc.) Develop: Technical specifications for: Electrical equipment Cables (HT/MV/LV) Bus ducts / busways Support: Tender documentation and procurement 5.
