About the Position:

As a Mission Critical Electrical Support team member, you will work alongside experienced engineers and field technicians supporting the testing, verification, and documentation of electrical systems in data centers and high-reliability facilities. You will work closely with project managers, commissioning team members, clients, contractors, and vendors to help keep schedules, documentation, communications, and follow-up items on track - with the goal of helping ensure every mission critical facility we deliver performs exactly as designed.

This position is ideal for someone with an electrical engineering degree or strong foundational experience in electrical systems who is detail-oriented, adaptable, and ready to grow by doing in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment.

Essential Responsibilities:

  • Verify electrical installations against design specifications, industry standards, and regulatory requirements, and document findings thoroughly.
  • Participate in system testing across a range of conditions - full load, no load, and failure scenarios, tracking issues and corrective actions through resolution.
  • Coordinate with engineers, contractors, and vendors in the field to resolve commissioning issues and support project delivery.
  • Conduct site inspections and ensure all commissioning activities are carried out in compliance with safety standards, site-specific protocols, and EEI requirements.

Qualifications:

  • Ability to learn technical concepts and apply them in both office and field environments.
  • Ability to read and interpret technical documentation, drawings, and system information with guidance.
  • Strong organizational, problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills.

  • Currently authorized to work in the U.S. full-time without the need for sponsorship now or in the future.

Preferred
  • Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Engineering Technology, Facilities Management, Construction Management, Building Systems, or a related field.
  • Exposure to power distribution systems, switchgear, UPS systems, generators, controls, building automation systems, commissioning, data centers, or mission-critical facilities.
  • Hands-on technical experience through internships, technician roles, trade programs, military service, facility operations, maintenance, or field-based project work.
  • Interest in developing a long-term career in commissioning, building performance, data centers, or mission-critical operations.

Working Conditions:
  • Typical Travel: Up to 75%. Travel requirements vary by project and individual location.
  • Work Environment: Hybrid environment of office and field-based work for site visits. Site visits may include mission-critical facilities, data centers, active construction environments, mechanical rooms, uneven ground, varying weather conditions, and field interactions.
  • Physical Requirements: Must be able to perform site inspections, which may include walking project sites, climbing ladders, occasionally lifting and carrying up to 50 lbs, and working in confined spaces when needed. Reasonable accommodation may be provided.
  • Reports to: Electrical Lead or assigned project technical lead.
