• Advanced knowledge of low-, medium-, and high-voltage electrical distribution equipment, including system design, operating principles, commissioning procedures, and performance verification.
• Hands-on experience with insulation resistance testing, primary and secondary injection testing, power quality analysis, thermal imaging, and ground fault testing.
• Familiarity with IEEE, NEC, NFPA, and NETA requirements and their application to electrical safety, installation quality, and commissioning.
• Understanding of data center Tier III and Tier IV classifications, along with N+1, 2N, and 2N+1 redundancy architectures.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and communication skills, with the ability to interpret technical documentation and coordinate solutions across project teams.
• Ability to work effectively in active construction environments, manage competing priorities, and support commissioning activities during critical project milestones.

Responsibilities

• Oversee field-level electrical commissioning and quality verification activities to support safe, reliable startup of mission-critical infrastructure.
• Evaluate installation quality and operational readiness of electrical equipment, including switchgear, transformers, UPS systems, generators, and power distribution assemblies.
• Review equipment acceptance results, witness functional testing, and coordinate resolution of technical deficiencies before systems advance toward operation.
• Partner with construction teams and electrical safety personnel to confirm appropriate isolation procedures, testing readiness, and controlled energization practices.
• Assess interactions among power distribution equipment, facility controls, and supporting infrastructure to identify performance or integration concerns.
• Perform field inspections, investigate electrical discrepancies, and coordinate corrective measures to improve system reliability and compliance.
• Maintain accurate testing records, inspection findings, commissioning documentation, and equipment turnover information.
• Collaborate with engineers, contractors, project leaders, and facility stakeholders to communicate risks, resolve technical challenges, and support successful project completion.
