Why This Opportunity?

Join an electrical contractor supporting a long-term project in Jeffersonville, OH, focused on electrical energization, commissioning, LOTO, and LV/MV electrical distribution systems.

The Energy Marshal will play a critical role in managing energization readiness and electrical safe-work processes. Responsibilities include reviewing and approving or rejecting energization requests within delegated authority, performing technical reviews of Methods of Procedure (MOPs), verifying LOTO readiness, tracking deficiencies, and documenting Go/No-Go decisions.

This opportunity is designed for a highly experienced electrical professional who has previously served as an Energy Marshal on a data center project and understands the technical and safety requirements associated with bringing complex electrical systems online.

Required Qualifications

Minimum 10+ Years of Electrical Construction, Electrical Operations, Commissioning, or Equivalent Relevant Experience
Previous Energy Marshal Experience on a Data Center Project
Current/Documented NFPA 70E Electrical Safety Training
Extensive experience with LV and MV Electrical Distribution Systems
Experience with NETA Acceptance Testing, Commissioning Milestones, and Equipment Turnover
Experience developing, reviewing, and executing Electrical Methods of Procedure (MOPs) and Switching Plans
Experience reviewing and coordinating Energization and De-Energization Activities
Strong knowledge of LOTO, Stored Energy Control, Absence-of-Voltage Verification, and Grounding Requirements
Ability to read and interpret electrical one-line diagrams, schematics, equipment submittals, and operational sequences
Strong understanding of OSHA electrical safety requirements, arc-flash hazards, shock protection boundaries, and electrical safe-work conditions

Preferred Qualifications

Previous Energy Marshal or Equivalent Authority Experience on a Hyperscale Data Center Project
MV Switching and Grounding Experience with Documented Task-Specific Qualifications
NETA Acceptance Testing Experience
Electrical Commissioning and Turnover Experience
Familiarity with Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), Cx Alloy, Procore, or similar digital permit and approval workflows
Extensive Electrical Contractor Experience
Strong Field Leadership and Coordination Experience

What You'll Be Doing

• Perform energization readiness reviews prior to electrical systems being placed into service
• Approve or reject energization requests within delegated authority
• Perform technical reviews of electrical Methods of Procedure (MOPs)
• Review and coordinate electrical switching plans
• Verify LOTO readiness before energized work activities
• Oversee electrical energy isolation and stored-energy control requirements
• Verify absence-of-voltage and grounding requirements
• Review equipment inspections, testing results, open deficiencies, personnel readiness, and system configurations prior to energization
• Track deficiencies and ensure identified issues are addressed
• Make and document formal Go/No-Go energization decisions
• Coordinate electrical switching, energization, and de-energization activities
• Coordinate with commissioning agents, general contractors, owners, electricians, QA/Cx personnel, and field leadership
• Ensure work aligns with NFPA 70E and applicable OSHA electrical safety requirements
• Exercise independent authority to stop or reject unsafe electrical work regardless of schedule or production pressures

Technical Knowledge

Candidates should have strong working knowledge of:

• NFPA 70E
• OSHA Electrical Safety Requirements
• LV & MV Electrical Distribution Systems
• Switchgear
• Transformers
• Protective Devices
• UPS Systems
• Generators
• Electrical One-Line Diagrams
• Electrical Switching & Energization
• Methods of Procedure (MOPs)
• Switching Plans
• Lockout/Tagout (LOTO)
• Stored Energy Control
• Absence-of-Voltage Verification
• Electrical Grounding
• Arc-Flash Hazards & Protection
• Shock Protection Boundaries
• NETA Acceptance Testing
• Electrical Commissioning
• Equipment Turnover
• Energization Readiness Reviews

What Success Looks Like

The ideal candidate is a highly experienced, technically strong Energy Marshal who has previously supported data center electrical systems and understands the risks associated with LV/MV distribution, switching, LOTO, commissioning, and system energization.

Success in this position requires the ability to independently assess whether electrical systems are truly ready for energization, identify unresolved deficiencies, coordinate across construction and commissioning teams, and confidently issue Go/No-Go decisions based on safety and technical readiness rather than schedule pressure.

The successful candidate will be comfortable working directly with electricians, commissioning agents, QA/Cx teams, general contractors, owners, and field leadership while maintaining clear authority over the energization process.
