About the role

Medium Voltage Electricians to join SpaceXSI's internal construction team supporting rapid data center build-out. Travel-heavy role installing and commissioning 12.47 kV, 13.8 kV, and 34.5 kV systems, including MVSG, GSUs, MV cable, and duct banks, with a focus on construction and commissioning rather than facilities maintenance.

Responsibilities

  • Travel with internal construction and electrical teams to project sites to install, terminate, and test medium-voltage systems, including e-house medium-voltage switchgear (MVSG), generator step-up transformers (GSUs), 15 kV and 35 kV cable, duct bank, and associated control wiring.
  • Pull, rack, land, and terminate 15 kV and 35 kV cable using manufacturer-approved stress cones and terminations.
  • Install medium-voltage duct bank, manholes, and raceway for 12.47 kV, 13.8 kV, and 34.5 kV circuits.
  • Support hipot/VLF and insulation-resistance testing of new medium-voltage cable and gear: prepare, isolate, ground, and stand the work with commissioning.
  • Work adjacent to live campus medium-voltage buses under switching orders, clearances, and LOTO.
  • Read and interpret medium-voltage one-lines, physical drawings, cable schedules, and termination drawings; produce as-builts and test records.
  • Ensure compliance with NEC, NFPA 70E, OSHA 1910.269, and SpaceXSI safety and quality standards, including switching, clearance, LOTO, and arc-flash protocols.
  • Collaborate with contractors, engineers, and operations teams to deliver projects on time with zero incidents.
  • Participate in constructability reviews and provide field feedback to improve designs.
  • Mobilize quickly between project locations as construction phases and priorities shift.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of hands-on electrical construction at 5 kV and above in industrial, data center, utility, or generation environments. Experience at 480 V does not meet this requirement.
  • Documented 15 kV and/or 35 kV terminations (termination logs, QC packages, or manufacturer terminator qualification cards).
  • Experience installing or landing medium-voltage switchgear, transformers/GSUs, and medium-voltage cable at 12.47 kV, 13.8 kV, and/or 34.5 kV.
  • Ability to read medium-voltage one-lines, cable schedules, and termination drawings.
  • Working knowledge of NFPA 70E, lockout/tagout (LOTO), medium-voltage switching and clearance, and OSHA 1910.269.
  • Ability to lift 50+ lbs, climb ladders, and work in e-houses, duct banks, and industrial environments with PPE.
  • Hourly position with overtime; willingness to work nights, weekends, and extended shifts during construction and energization.
  • Ability and willingness to travel 80% or more on a construction rotation; per diem and/or housing provided while on site.
