Critical Facilities Electrician — Broadcast & Data Center

Keep live sports on the air — every minute, every game

Picture this: a playoff game stretches past midnight, the control room is humming, and power delivery must be flawless. That’s when your expertise matters most. As a Critical Facilities Electrician, you’ll sustain the electrical backbone of a 24/7 broadcast and data center ecosystem where uptime isn’t a goal — it’s a mandate.

Where you’ll make an impact

Our client is a national leader in live sports broadcast production, supporting major networks such as Fox Sports, NBC Sports, Scripps Sports, and others.

We’re expanding our Integrated Site Operations (ISO) team and seeking a licensed professional to maintain and enhance this complex power environment.
