About the role

Role focused on day-to-day operation, troubleshooting, and leadership of electrical distribution systems in live data center environments, with emphasis on 480V to 15kV+ distribution, generators, UPS, switchgear, and safety procedures.

Responsibilities

  • 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.

Qualifications

  • You've spent 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.
  • Knowledge of NFPA 70E, arc flash boundaries, and lockout/tagout procedures.
  • Track record of shift-based or on-call critical facility operations, and restoring power at odd hours.
  • Ability to operate independently and build procedures in new facilities with incomplete documentation.
  • Experience training junior operators and elevating a team's standard.
  • Comfort running live operations in active build environments with construction and production on the floor.
  • Bonus: NETA certification, journeyman or master electrician license, or commissioning experience on greenfield data center electrical systems.
