- Perform and control 33 kV switching operations, isolation, energization, shutdown, restoration, and transfer activities in accordance with approved switching schedules, Permit-to-Work (PTW), Lock-Out/Tag-Out (LOTO), and electrical safety requirements.
- Monitor, operate, and maintain critical facility infrastructure including 33 kV switchgear, transformers, protection relays, generators, ATS, UPS, battery systems, PDUs, LV distribution systems, HVAC systems, chilled water systems, pumps, fire protection systems, and BMS/DCIM platforms.
- Conduct routine inspections, condition monitoring, and preventive maintenance on electrical and mechanical systems to ensure equipment reliability, capacity availability, and compliance with operational and maintenance standards.
- Respond to alarms, abnormal operating conditions, equipment failures, electrical trips, utility disruptions, and emergency situations; perform troubleshooting, immediate corrective actions, escalation, and recovery activities to minimize service impact.
- Support critical facility operations through continuous monitoring of capacity, loading, power quality, cooling performance, environmental conditions, and infrastructure health to ensure compliance with service level commitments.
- Coordinate and supervise contractors, vendors, and specialist service providers performing maintenance, testing, commissioning, and project activities within the facility, ensuring compliance with approved method statements, risk assessments, permits, and safety requirements.
- Support commissioning, integrated systems testing, energization activities, infrastructure upgrades, fit-out projects, and capacity expansion works while maintaining business continuity and operational integrity.
- Maintain accurate documentation including single-line diagrams, switching schedules, maintenance records, operating procedures, MOPs, SOPs, EOPs, incident reports, and statutory compliance records.
- Participate in root cause analysis (RCA), incident investigations, corrective action implementation, and continuous improvement initiatives to improve reliability, safety, efficiency, and overall facility performance.
- Participate in 24x7 operations support, on-call rotations, emergency response activities, and planned maintenance events as required to support critical facility operations.
Requirements
- Possess a valid Chargeman B0 (33kV) Certificate of Competency issued by Suruhanjaya Tenaga Malaysia, with practical experience in the operation and maintenance of 33 kV high-voltage installations.
- Minimum 2 years of experience in critical facility operations, power generation, utilities, industrial facilities, mission-critical facilities, or data center environments with hands-on exposure to high-voltage electrical systems.
- Strong technical knowledge of 33 kV switchgear (AIS/GIS), power transformers, protection relays and protection coordination, standby generators and fuel systems, ATS and synchronization systems, UPS and battery systems, medium- and low-voltage distribution systems.
- Working knowledge of critical facility mechanical systems including cooling systems, CRAC/CRAH units, chilled water systems, pumps, fire protection systems, and building management systems (BMS/DCIM).
- Experience performing high-voltage switching operations, planned shutdowns, maintenance coordination, fault diagnosis, emergency response, and incident recovery activities.
- Good understanding of the Electricity Supply Act 1990, Electricity Regulations 1994, Suruhanjaya Tenaga requirements, occupational safety regulations, and industry best practices relating to critical facilities.
- Ability to read and interpret single-line diagrams, protection schematics, electrical drawings, control diagrams, operating procedures, technical manuals, and commissioning documentation.
- Strong troubleshooting, analytical, communication, and documentation skills with the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced mission-critical environment.
- Experience in a data center, hyperscale, colocation, semiconductor, utility, or mission-critical facility environment will be highly advantageous.
- Willingness to work 12-hour shifts, standby duty, on-call rotations, and emergency response assignments as required by operational needs.
