Power Infra Project Manager

Position Summary

The Power Infra Project Manager is responsible for managing the end-to-end delivery of the electrical power infrastructure required to energize IREN's next-generation, renewable-powered data center projects. Reporting to the Project Director, the role provides project management leadership across grid connection, high- and medium-voltage infrastructure, substations, transformers, transmission and distribution interfaces, and associated balance-of-plant works required to provide reliable and scalable power to the data center campus.

The role acts as the primary project management focal point for power infrastructure, coordinating internal teams, engineering consultants, utilities and grid stakeholders, EPC contractors, equipment manufacturers, specialist vendors, permitting authorities, and the wider Data Center project organization. The role ensures that power infrastructure is designed, permitted, procured, constructed, tested, energized, and handed over safely, on schedule, within budget, and in accordance with technical, contractual, regulatory, grid, and operational requirements.

This role is critical to the successful delivery of IREN's Spain data center projects, ensuring that external and campus power infrastructure is available in line with the data center energization strategy and construction schedule. The Power Infra Project Manager maintains clear control of scope, cost, schedule, risks, changes, contracts, interfaces, and energization milestones while driving resolution of critical dependencies that could impact overall project delivery.

Responsibilities

Reporting to the Project Director, the Power Infra Project Manager is responsible for:

• Manage the end-to-end delivery of power infrastructure packages required to energize the data center, including grid connection works, HV/MV substations, transformers, switchgear, transmission and distribution infrastructure, underground and/or overhead electrical connections, protection and control systems, metering, telecommunications interfaces, grounding systems, and associated civil and balance-of-plant works.
• Develop and manage the power infrastructure delivery strategy by defining project scope, execution approach, contracting strategy, key milestones, procurement requirements, construction sequencing, energization strategy, interfaces, risks, and resources in alignment with the overall data center master plan.
• Support the Project Director in delivering overall project objectives by maintaining clear visibility of power infrastructure progress, cost, schedule, risks, constraints, decisions, grid dependencies, and energization milestones and by escalating critical matters requiring project-level intervention.
• Manage grid connection and utility interfaces by coordinating technical and project requirements with utilities, transmission and distribution stakeholders, engineering teams, contractors, and relevant authorities to ensure that connection infrastructure and associated requirements are delivered in line with project energization needs.
• Manage engineering, procurement, construction, testing, and energization activities by coordinating the complete lifecycle of power infrastructure packages and ensuring effective transition between project phases.
• Manage EPC contractors, engineering consultants, specialist contractors, and equipment vendors by establishing clear delivery expectations, monitoring contractual deliverables and performance, reviewing progress, and driving corrective and recovery actions where required.
• Coordinate power infrastructure design activities by working with Engineering, consultants, contractors, utilities, and equipment manufacturers to ensure design maturity, technical compliance, constructability, operability, maintainability, grid compliance, and alignment with the data center electrical architecture.
• Manage interfaces between external power infrastructure and the Data Center project by coordinating connection points, voltage levels, substation interfaces, protection philosophy, metering, controls, telecommunications, grounding, energization boundaries, testing requirements, and physical construction interfaces.
• Coordinate closely with Data Center Electrical, CSA, Mechanical, BMS/Controls, Construction, Commissioning, and Operations teams to ensure that power availability and energization milestones remain aligned with building construction, equipment installation, commissioning, and operational readiness requirements.
• Manage power infrastructure schedule performance by developing and monitoring key milestones, reviewing contractor and supplier schedules, identifying critical-path activities and dependencies, monitoring long-lead equipment, and implementing mitigation and recovery actions where required.
• Maintain particular focus on en
