Job summary

Jobot in Birmingham, AL is seeking a senior electrical leader to own and scale the electrical systems strategy for a rapidly growing hyperscale data center product platform. This role transforms complex electrical infrastructure into a repeatable, manufacturable product that can be deployed predictably across mission-critical environments.

This is not a single-project role. The successful candidate will build and mature the electrical operating system that supports a scalable

Qualifications

• 12+ years of experience in commercial, industrial, or mission-critical electrical systems
• Demonstrated ownership of complex electrical scope from design through deployment
• Experience managing large electrical budgets and/or margin performance
• Strong working knowledge of NEC, NFPA, grounding and bonding, and power distribution systems
• Hands-on experience with switchgear, generators, UPS systems, and utility coordination
• Ability to interpret one-line diagrams, electrical drawings, and specifications
• Proven leadership across design, manufacturing integration, and field execution
• Electrical Engineering degree not required
• PE, Master Electrician, or equivalent senior field leadership experience is highly valued
• Data center or other high-reliability environment experience
• Exposure to prefabrication, modular construction, or productized delivery models
• Experience in takt-based or manufacturing-driven construction environments
• Background in mission-critical redundancy architectures
• Experience integrating commissioning considerations into design and deployment

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end electrical scope for the hyperscale product line
• Influence electrical architecture, distribution strategy, and redundancy approach
• Ensure alignment between product intent, manufacturability, and field performance
• Drive standardization and repeatability across deployments
• Push complexity out of field execution into controlled design and prefab environments
• Partner with manufacturing engineering to support takt-based production
• Influence panelization strategy, grounding systems, lighting/controls, and mission-critical interfaces
• Support component standardization and sourcing strategy
• Ensure clean handoff between product design and construction execution
• Provide hands-on leadership during early deployments
• Translate field performance data into structured product improvements
• Reduce variability and rework over time
• Build and lead a dedicated electrical team (PM, Designer, Manufacturing SME, Construction Lead)
• Establish operating rhythms, accountability, and performance expectations
• Develop team capability to scale with product growth
• Drive cross-functional alignment across Product, Platform, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and Construction
• Maintain accountability for electrical cost and margin performance
• Identify opportunities for cost reduction through standardization and design optimization
• Support predictable, margin-positive deployments
