Job DetailsJob Location: Reno, NV 98439Position Type: Full TimeJob Summary

Perform hands-on quality assurance and control for mission-critical electrical systems on fast-paced hyperscale data center projects. Ensure flawless installation, testing, and compliance of HV/MV/LV distribution, switchgear, generators, UPS, busway, redundant power paths (2N/N+1), grounding, and related infrastructure to meet NEC, NFPA, IEEE, TIA-942, Uptime Institute, and hyperscale owner standards—with zero tolerance for defects or rework.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute daily field inspections and verify installations (switchgear, generators, UPS, busway, PDUs, RPPs, cable tray, terminations, torque, labeling, grounding/bonding).
• Develop/review Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs), checklists, and QA/QC procedures.
• Witness and document FAT/SAT, pre-energization checks, insulation/hi-pot testing, contact resistance, relay/breaker testing, and functional/performance tests.
• Identify, document, and resolve non-conformances (NCRs); verify corrective actions and close-outs.
• Prepare inspection logs, test reports, and turnover packages for client/commissioning handover.
• Support commissioning and integrated systems testing (IST); interface with CxA, third-party testers, owners, and AHJs.
• Enforce safety protocols (LOTO, NFPA 70E, arc-flash compliance) during electrical work.

QualificationsRequired:

• 5+ years electrical QA/QC experience, with 3+ years in mission-critical facilities (data centers preferred).
• Strong knowledge of hyperscale electrical systems: MV/HV switchgear, generators (≥1 MW), multi-module UPS, busway, redundant feeds.
• Experience with CX Alloy is a must
• Proficiency in NEC, NFPA 70E/70B, IEEE standards, testing methods (megger, DLRO, hi-pot, thermography).
• Detail-oriented with excellent documentation and communication skills.
• Proficient in MS Office; experience with Procore/Bluebeam a plus.
