Qualifications

• 8+ years in critical facilities electrical operations, commissioning, or NETA-adjacent field roles.
• Deep knowledge of MV/LV switchgear, protective devices, generator and UPS systems, and EPMS/power monitoring.
• Commissioning witness experience through integrated systems testing in mission-critical environments.
• NFPA 70E fluency and real switching/LOTO experience - you've operated the gear, not just reviewed.

• Witness NETA acceptance testing and Level 3-5 commissioning: protective device testing and transfer sequences.
• Verify electrical turnover packages: test records, settings files, one-lines and as-builts, and operator training coverage.
• Support energization sequences and early operations stabilization with EPMS tuning and SOP refinement.
• Feed operational lessons into Hut 8 electrical standards and future DB decisions.
