About the role

Role Scope

Own day-to-day operation and troubleshooting of medium and high-voltage electrical distribution, including switchgear, generators, UPS systems, and associated protection and controls, in live data center environments. Run switching operations, lockout/tagout, and energization work to NFPA 70E and arc flash standards, with documentation rigorous enough to stand up to a safety audit. Lead electrical incident response on shift and on call, isolating faults, restoring power, and producing root-cause reports that change how the facility is operated. Build and maintain SOPs, MOPs, and EOPs for electrical systems, and keep them accurate as new capacity comes online. Drive alarm monitoring and response through BMS and EPMS platforms, tuning thresholds and escalation paths so real problems surface before they become outages. Train and mentor junior operators to the point where they can run switching and response procedures without you in the room.

Requirements

  • Years operating and troubleshooting 480V to 15kV+ electrical distribution equipment hands-on in live hyperscale or large colocation data centers.
  • Deep working experience with generators, medium-voltage switchgear, UPS systems, and the BMS/EPMS platforms that monitor them.
  • Know NFPA 70E, arc flash boundaries, and lockout/tagout procedures well enough to write them, enforce them, and catch a shortcut before it becomes an incident.
  • Track record of shift-based or on-call critical facility operations, and you've been the person who restores power at 3am.
  • Operate independently. Given a new facility with incomplete documentation, you build the procedures rather than wait for them.
  • Trained junior operators and can raise a team's standard, not just your own output.
  • Comfortable running live operations inside an active build environment where construction and commissioning share the floor with production load.

Nice-to-Haves

  • NETA certification
  • Journeyman or master electrician license
  • Commissioning experience on greenfield data center electrical systems.
