Job summary

BLOX is seeking an experienced electrical systems leader to own the electrical DMC scope within a product line based in Birmingham, Alabama. The role focuses on system performance, manufacturability, deployment discipline, and long-term product scalability.

You will build and lead a dedicated electrical team, drive cross-functional alignment, and ensure electrical designs integrate into standardized manufacturing and field deployment environments, with substantial on-site work.

Qualifications

• 12+ years of experience in commercial, industrial, mission-critical, or high-reliability electrical systems environments.
• Ownership of complex electrical systems from design through deployment.
• Experience leading across design coordination, manufacturing integration, construction execution, and operational deployment.
• Direct accountability for electrical cost performance, margin ownership, budgeting, or large-scale financial management.
• Strong knowledge of NEC, NFPA requirements, grounding and bonding systems, and electrical power distribution systems.
• Experience with switchgear, generators, UPS systems, utility coordination, mission-critical redundancy architectures, and commissioning integration.
• Ability to interpret electrical drawings, specifications, one-line diagrams, and technical design documentation.
• Experience integrating commissioning and operational performance considerations into design and deployment processes.
• Strong leadership capabilities with experience building, mentoring, and developing high-performing technical teams.
• Ability to collaborate effectively across engineering, manufacturing, construction, supply chain, and operational leadership teams.
• Strong analytical, organizational, communication, and decision-making skills.
• Experience in data center, mission-critical, or high-reliability environments preferred.
• Experience with prefabrication, modular construction, or repeatable product delivery environments preferred.
• Ability to lead operational change, reduce deployment variability, and improve system standardization in fast-paced environments.
• Travel to support deployments and field operations; PE or equivalent leadership is preferred.

Responsibilities

• Lead full ownership of the electrical DMC scope with accountability for system performance, deployment consistency, cost structure, and margin performance.
• Build, mature, and continuously improve the electrical operating system supporting the product line.
• Lead and develop a dedicated electrical team including an Electrical Project Manager, Electrical Designer, Electrical Manufacturing SME, and Electrical Construction Lead.
• Drive alignment between product intent, manufacturing integration, and field deployment execution.
• Influence electrical distribution strategies, panelization approaches, grounding systems, lighting controls integration, and mission-critical interfaces during product definition phases.
• Ensure electrical designs align with manufacturability, repeatability, field performance objectives, and standardized deployment strategies.
• Partner cross-functionally with Program Leadership, Platform Governance, Supply Chain, Manufacturing Engineering, Practice Groups, and Construction teams to improve sourcing strategies, component standardization, deployment methods, and operational efficiency.
• Support the integration of electrical scope into takt-based manufacturing environments while reducing field rework and installation variability.
• Lead early deployment efforts with hands-on operational involvement to ensure successful field execution.
• Establish disciplined performance feedback loops that convert field deployment lessons into structured product revisions and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Drive reductions in variability while increasing deployment predictability, scalability, operational efficiency, and profitability.
• Provide leadership across design integration, manufacturing coordination, commissioning strategy, and field execution activities.
• Support development of long-term electrical systems strategies that position BLOX products for scalable growth in mission-critical environments.
• Travel to active project sites to support deployments, field operations, commissioning activities, and operational alignment.
• Perform additional duties as assigned.
