Job description

Job Description: Electrical Superintendent (Industrial & Data Centers)

Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Superintendent specializing in Industrial and Data Center infrastructure to lead our heavy field operations. In this role, you will be the primary field leader responsible for managing multiple crews, overseeing critical infrastructure installations, and ensuring absolute precision in high-risk environments. You will bridge the gap between project engineering and field labor, ensuring that all work is completed safely, on schedule, and in strict compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70E, and mission-critical specifications.

Duties and Responsibilities

Mission-Critical Field Leadership: Direct daily field activities, schedule subcontractors, and supervise electrical foremen overseeing large-scale industrial and data center build-outs.

Heavy Infrastructure Installation: Supervise the installation of complex systems, including medium-voltage distribution, backup generators, Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems, Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS), and high-capacity switchgear.

Blueprint & Submittal Review: Interpret architectural blueprints, one-line diagrams, controls schematics, and BIM/3D layout models to coordinate exact conduit routing, cable tray systems, and equipment placement.

Commissioning Coordination: Collaborate with quality control teams to support formal commissioning phases (Levels 1-5), ensuring all electrical components integrate seamlessly with automated climate control* PLC networks, and building management

systems.

Rigorous Safety Enforcement: Maintain a strict zero-accident site culture. Conduct daily toolbox talks, enforce OSHA standards, and rigorously manage NFPA 70E arc flash safety and Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) protocols during hot-work and energization phases.

Material & Inventory Logistics: Manage material procurement, perform structural take-offs, track specialized industrial tooling, and prevent field downtime through meticulous inventory oversight.

Testing & Quality Control: Oversee vital diagnostic testing, including insulation-resistance (megger) testing, ground-fault testing, and thermal imaging, documenting all results for project compliance.

Stakeholder Reporting: Maintain precise daily construction logs and progress charts. Coordinate with Project Managers, engineers, and facility owners to clear inspection hurdles and resolve design gaps.

Required Qualifications

Experience: Minimum of 5-7 years of progressive field leadership experience (such as a General Foreman or Superintendent) strictly within industrial complexes, chemical plants, refineries, or hyperscale data center environments.

Licensing: Active Journeyman Electrician or Master Electrician License (with a deep understanding of state-level criteria, such as the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation).

Technical Knowledge: Complete mastery of the National Electrical Code (NEC), local industrial building ordinances, and standard testing mechanisms for high-capacity power systems.

Commissioning Familiarity: Experience working alongside commissioning applications (such as CX Alloy) to log, track, and close out technical electrical deficiencies is highly preferred.

Leadership & Drive: Proven ability to manage multi m crew jobs, resolve scheduling conflicts under tight deadlines, and communicate technical instructions clearly.

Physical Demands: Ability to navigate active industrial construction zones, climb scaffolding, lift heavy field equipment up to 50 lbs, and work safely around energized highcapacity systems.
