Technical Knowledge

• Strong understanding of data center electrical infrastructure and medium-voltage systems.
• Experience reviewing installation documentation and commissioning checklists.
• Familiarity with quality assurance / quality control procedures on mission-critical projects.

Systems & Tools

• Experience using Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) or similar construction management platforms.
• Strong documentation, reporting, and issue tracking capabilities.

Medium Voltage Subspecialty Expertise

Candidates must demonstrate strong experience with medium-voltage infrastructure, including:

• Medium Voltage (MV) Switchgear
• SEL protection relays
• Protection logic schemes
• Transformers (XFMRs)
• NETA testing procedures
• Medium-voltage terminations

Experience supporting installation, testing, and commissioning of medium-voltage infrastructure in hyperscale or large-scale data center environments is strongly preferred.

Physical Requirements and Work EnvironmentThis position operates primarily in an active data center construction environment, encompassing both indoor and outdoor work settings.
