Key Responsibilities
1. Mission-Critical Project Execution (MV/HV Focus)
High-Voltage Oversight: Directly manage the installation, quality checks, and preparation for testing of all medium- and high-voltage (MV/HV) equipment, including utility connections, switchgear, paralleling gear, step-up/step-down transformers, and large-scale generators.
Redundancy Management: Ensure all electrical installations adhere strictly to the project's required redundancy topology (e.g., N+1, 2N, 2N+1). Validate and document that all critical power paths are properly segregated and protected according to design.
Coordination & Integration: Serve as the electrical lead in coordinating work sequences with the General Contractor, utility providers, and specialized vendors (e.g., UPS, SCADA, Fire Alarm). Lead the complex integration planning between electrical and mechanical systems.
Quality Control & Testing Preparation: Oversee the execution of all Pre-Functional Checks (PFCs) and detailed quality control inspections required prior to formal startup and testing. Ensure readiness for vendor testing and formal commissioning.
Drawing & Compliance: Master the project's electrical Single-Line Diagram (SLD) and maintain stringent quality control, ensuring installations comply with NEC, NFPA, and all local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) requirements for critical facilities.
2. Safety and Quality Assurance (QA/QC)
Electrical Safety: Champion an uncompromising safety culture, focusing specifically on arc flash safety, high-voltage Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures, and NFPA 70E compliance. Conduct rigorous daily safety and quality audits.
Quality Assurance/Control (QA/QC): Implement and manage a comprehensive QA/QC program for all electrical installations, with specific emphasis on MV/HV connections, bus duct installation, grounding systems, and cable termination quality.
Documentation & Closeout: Oversee all final construction documentation, including accurate red-line/as-built drawings and comprehensive installation records. Manage the efficient completion of the electrical punch list and formal system handover to the owner.
3. Team Leadership and Schedule Management
Crew Management: Supervise and mentor a large on-site team of electrical foremen, journeymen, and apprentices, ensuring high levels of productivity, technical accuracy, and adherence to the schedule.
Schedule Ownership: Hold full accountability for the electrical schedule. Identify and mitigate schedule risks, manage manpower loading, and drive the project to key milestones (e.g., energization, server floor handovers).
Qualifications
Required
Experience: Minimum of 10+ years of progressive electrical construction experience, with at least 5+ years in a Superintendent role focused on Data Center or mission-critical facilities.
Voltage Expertise: Proven, in-depth experience managing the installation, quality control, and preparation for testing of Medium Voltage (MV) and High Voltage (HV) equipment (typically 15kV, 35kV, or higher).
Licensure: Current, valid Master Electrician License or equivalent high-level journeyman license in the applicable state/jurisdiction.
Safety Certification: Current OSHA 30 certification.
Technical Acuity: Demonstrated mastery of critical electrical components (Generators, ATS/Paralleling Gear, UPS systems, PDU/RPP) and the ability to interpret and work from complex electrical Single-Line Diagrams (SLDs).
The essential functions of this role include:
