Our client is looking for an experienced Grid Delivery Manager. This is a delivery-critical role responsible for securing and delivering connections for large-scale hyperscale data centre campuses across multiple APAC markets.

Key Responsibilities

Grid Connection & Infrastructure Delivery

• Lead the delivery of HV/MV grid connection projects across partner teams, from initial feasibility through to energisation, ensuring programme milestones are met.
• Manage all aspects of the connection process including grid capacity assessments, connection applications, technical studies, and construction coordination with the DSO/TSO to ensure on-time delivery.
• Track and resolve grid connection risks, escalating any technical, commercial or regulatory blockers to senior leadership with clear options and recommendations.
• Coordinate any offsite grid connection or on-site substation works alongside TSO/DSO infrastructure works to ensure alignment of programme and technical interfaces.
• Act as primary interface with grid operators on all technical and commercial matters related to project delivery.

Internal Stakeholder Collaboration

• Act as the primary point of coordination for grid workstreams across internal teams — development, construction, engineering, legal, commercial, and finance — ensuring grid delivery is fully integrated into overall campus programme management.
• Lead regular grid status reviews with cross-functional stakeholders, providing clear, consistent reporting on milestone progress, risks, and commercial implications.
• Work closely with the development team to support early-stage site assessments, ensuring grid feasibility and connection timelines are accurately reflected in business cases and investment submissions.
• Partner with the legal and commercial teams to negotiate and execute connection agreements, ensuring contractual positions are understood and managed across the business.
• Ensure construction and engineering teams have clear visibility of grid technical requirements, interface obligations, and programme dependencies at each project stage.
• Build strong working relationships with regional project leads and country teams, acting as a trusted resource on grid matters throughout the project lifecycle.

Technical Oversight

• Provide sufficient technical oversight of grid connection designs to ensure on-site substation infrastructure is compatible with TSO/DSO requirements and relevant grid codes, working with engineering and external advisors where deeper technical analysis is required.
• Navigate grid code compliance requirements across jurisdictions, working with technical teams and legal counsel to identify derogation pathways and compliance timelines.
• Advise development, engineering and construction teams on grid technical requirements, constraints, and risks at each stage of project delivery.
• Stay current with evolving grid connection frameworks, network access regulations, and TSO/DSO policy developments across key APAC markets.

Program & Project Management

• Develop, maintain and drive programme schedules for grid connection workstreams across the APAC portfolio, integrating with overall campus delivery programmes.
• Track progress against key milestones — capacity reservation, licence applications, planning approvals, connection agreement execution, construction commencement, energisation — and report status to senior leadership.
• Identify and manage grid-related critical path risks, developing mitigation strategies and contingency plans.
• Identify opportunities to accelerate grid delivery through alternative connection strategies or proactive utility engagement.
• Manage budgets for grid connection contributions and external advisory costs, providing accurate cost forecasting.
• Advise on grid connection commercial structures, including connection contributions, capacity charges, and flexible or conditional access arrangements.
• Translate grid workstream status into clear executive-level communications, including contributions to investment committee materials, leadership briefings, and board-level reporting, with a focus on risk, commercial exposure, and programme confidence.

Process Development & Scalability

• Lead the development of grid delivery playbooks & responsibilities frameworks defining repeatable processes, standard templates, and decision frameworks that can be embedded to support power delivery programmes.
• Document lessons learned from live projects and translate these into structured guidance — covering connection applications, utility engagement, grid code compliance, and commercial negotiation — to build institutional knowledge and reduce reliance on individual expertise.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, project management, business, or a related discipline; equivalent professional experience will be considered.
• 5+ years of experience delivering grid connection, power infrastructure, or complex multi-stakeholder infrastructure projects.
• Demonstrated experience managing utility or infrastructure interfaces across the full project lifecycle, from application through to energisation.
• Proven track record of working effectively across cross-functional internal teams (including commercial, legal, engineering, and construction) to deliver complex programmes.
• Working knowledge of APAC grid connection frameworks and TSO/DSO regulatory environments in at least the Malaysian, Japan and Australian market.
• Willingness to travel across the APAC market as required by project demands - up to 50%.
