Senior Electrical Engineer – EMEA Infrastructure Development

What to Expect

Tesla is accelerating the world's
transition to sustainable energy. To realize this, we are committed to
expanding our network of sales locations, service centers, and delivery hubs
across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). To support this growth, we
are seeking a motivated professional with a building electrical engineering
background to drive high-quality design and construction of our facilities.

In the Infrastructure Development team, you’ll
lead the creation of electrical specifications, standard designs, and process
improvements for construction projects. Your ability to harmonize the
complexities of European regulations and requirements concisely will empower project
teams to streamline design, tendering, building, and facility management —
delivering consistent, top-quality results across our portfolio.

What You’ll Do

• Manage the development of
  concise specifications, standards, and guideline documents to be used by
  project teams for electrical, lighting, and related works.
• Assess the design, dimensions,
  and technical parameters for low-, medium-, and high-voltage power distribution,
  equipment (including switchgear, breaker & distribution panels), components,
  cables, and power upgrades.
• Manage audits for quality,
  safety, and maintenance of electrical aspects of existing, new, and potential
  locations.
• Lead consultations and
  workshops with internal teams, external consultants, contractors, utility
  providers, and stakeholders to align on design standards and resolve project
  challenges.
• Identify opportunities and then
  propose, evaluate, prioritize, and execute initiatives to improve quality,
  cost, and speed across the organization.
• Assist in engaging external
  design consultants for technical engineering design and take a leading role in evaluating
  their proposals and reviewing their designs.
• Build, nurture, and leverage
  relationships with internal and external stakeholders including with Gigafactory
  & Supercharger teams.
• Mentor project teams and buyers
  on best practices, providing ongoing guidance to ensure consistency and
  efficiency across projects.
• Be the go-to person for all
  things related to electrical, power, and lighting for our projects,
  consultants, and other stakeholders. Your technical expertise will help to
  resolve issues creatively and thoroughly.

What You’ll Bring

• University degree or equivalent
  training in an electrical engineering related field.
• Proven experience (6+ years) in
  the sector, including 3+ years in designing and specifying electrical
  distribution & systems for buildings. Experience with small to medium
  commercial (retail or industrial) new-build and renovation projects is a plus.
• Experience with medium and low
  voltage power distribution (above and below ground), lighting systems,
  grounding protection.
• Knowledge in related areas like
  very low voltage systems, IT infrastructure, AV, security, fire alarms, utility
  providers, high-voltage upgrades, and solar systems advantageous.
• Familiarity with IEC and
  European standards (e.g. VDE, DIN), skills in handling diverse regulations and
  adapting them for cross-border projects a plus.
• Experience in monitoring
  construction, commissioning, verifying work completion, reviewing quality
  documents, and handling tenders.
• Proven leadership in
  coordinating teams, managing projects (including timelines, resources, and
  deliverables), and overseeing designs from multiple disciplines and vendors to
  create unified construction sets.
• Strong collaboration skills:
  thrive in team settings, explain complex ideas clearly, engage stakeholders to
  build trust and consensus, and solve problems thoroughly by addressing root
  causes.
• Excellent English communication
  skills (including technical terms); additional European languages like German
  or French are desirable.
• Willingness to travel in EMEA (approx.
  10%).
