Job summary

ATMS is hiring a Lead Foreman — Electrical in Ashburn, Virginia to own field execution on a hyperscale data center multi-phase electrical build-out. You will lead a live crew of 15–20 technicians, coordinate scope, materials, and client-facing activities on a demanding data center site.

The role demands a proven track record in hyperscale data centers, extensive electrical experience, and strong leadership.

Qualifications

• Proven track record leading electrical crews on hyperscale data center builds.
• 10+ years in the electrical trade with 3+ years in a foreman or lead role.
• Journeyman Electrician license (Virginia or reciprocal).
• Ability to identify scope and produce a written scope document without being walked through it.
• Fluent reading of electrical drawings, one-lines, riser diagrams, submittals, and specifications.
• OSHA 30 and NFPA 70E.
• Availability for overtime, night shifts, and weekends.

Responsibilities

• Directly manage and schedule a crew of 15–20 technicians — journeymen, apprentices, and helpers
• Build daily and weekly work plans against the look-ahead; assign work by skill level and keep every hand productive
• Run toolbox talks, enforce safety standards, and hold the crew to the workmanship expectations of a hyperscale client
• Develop your people — identify who is ready for more, coach the ones who are struggling, and elevate honestly when someone is not working out
• Track and approve time, manage manpower loading against the budget, and flag overruns before they become a problem
• Identify scope from drawings, specifications, walkdowns, and field conditions — including scope that is not clearly assigned
• Write clear, defensible scope documents that define what is included, what is excluded, and what assumptions were made
• Recognize out-of-scope and changed work in the field and document it immediately with photos, quantities, and hours
• Support change order and T&M ticket development with accurate field data
• Generate and track RFIs on drawing conflicts and constructability issues rather than installing something you know is wrong
• Represent ATMS professionally in front of the client, the general contractor, and the trades on a daily basis
• Attend and contribute in scope meetings, coordination meetings, and progress reviews
• Communicate constraints, risks, and schedule impacts clearly and early — no surprises
• Lead client walkthroughs of completed work and respond to punch items promptly
• Understand that on a hyperscale campus, our conduct and our workmanship are how the next contract gets won
• Working knowledge of the QA/QC process — inspection and test plans, hold points, checklists, and turnover documentation
• Self-check crew work against drawings and specifications before it is called complete
• Maintain labeling, torque documentation, test records, and as-built redlines current daily rather than reconstructed at the end
• Photograph and document work before it is concealed
• Support commissioning activities and deliver a clean, complete turnover package
• Think past the obvious answer — find the constructible solution when the drawing, the field condition, and the schedule do not agree
• Resequence work, reallocate crew, and adjust the plan to hold the schedule when conditions change
• Bring solutions to the PM and the client rather than only problems
• Make sound decisions in the field with incomplete information, and know when to stop and elevate instead
