Our client is seeking an experienced Electrical Project Manager to join their growing project delivery team in Norway. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in delivering state-of-the-art, mission-critical infrastructure, overseeing the electrical delivery of large-scale hyperscale data centre projects from design coordination through to commissioning and final handover.

- Ensure compliance with local electrical regulations, statutory requirements, industry standards and health and safety legislation applicable to the project.
- Review and validate electrical design drawings, technical submittals and construction documentation to ensure compliance and constructability.
- Coordinate interfaces between electrical systems and mechanical, controls and civil, structural and architectural (CSA) disciplines.
- Manage the electrical interface with utility providers and enabling works, including grid connection readiness, energisation planning, Lock Out/Tag Out (LOTO) procedures, permit-to-work coordination and the safe transition into commissioning.
- Monitor project progress, identify risks and support recovery planning where required, ensuring clear reporting across all electrical packages.
- Oversee quality assurance, inspections, testing and commissioning activities throughout the project lifecycle.
- Support Integrated Systems Testing (IST), ensuring all electrical systems are fully tested, verified and documented before handover.
- Lead regular coordination meetings with contractors, consultants and internal stakeholders to maintain project alignment and resolve technical issues.
- Promote a culture of health and safety, technical excellence and continuous improvement across all project activities.

- A minimum of seven years' experience managing electrical delivery on large-scale construction projects, ideally within data centres or other mission-critical environments.
- A degree or recognised qualification in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
- Strong technical knowledge of high-voltage (HV) and low-voltage (LV) distribution, UPS systems, backup generators, power conditioning and electrical control systems.
- Proven commissioning expertise across medium-voltage (MV) and low-voltage (LV) power systems, including active involvement in Integrated Systems Testing (IST).
- Demonstrable experience coordinating electrical design, installation, commissioning and project delivery.
- Knowledge of Norwegian electrical regulations and standards, including FEF, FEL and NEK, would be highly advantageous.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build strong relationships across multidisciplinary teams.
- Experience using project reporting and scheduling software.
