The Energy Marshal will provide field-level oversight and authority for electrical energization activities, ensuring systems are safe, complete, and ready before electrical energy is introduced. The role will perform energization readiness reviews and approve or reject energization requests within delegated authority based on documented project and electrical safety requirements.

This position will conduct technical reviews of Methods of Procedure (MOPs), verify LOTO and electrical isolation readiness, track deficiencies, and document Go/No-Go decisions. The Energy Marshal will coordinate closely with commissioning, construction, electrical, QA/Cx, owner, and field leadership teams while maintaining independent authority to stop or reject unsafe energization activities.

✅ Minimum 10 years of electrical construction, electrical operations, commissioning, or equivalent relevant experience.
✅ Extensive knowledge of LV and MV electrical distribution systems, including switchgear, transformers, protective devices, UPS systems, generators, and associated distribution equipment.
✅ Demonstrated experience reviewing and coordinating electrical switching, energization, and de-energization activities.
✅ Proficiency reading and interpreting electrical one-line diagrams, schematics, equipment submittals, and operational sequences.
✅ Experience developing, reviewing, and executing electrical MOPs and associated switching plans.
✅ Strong understanding of NFPA 70E, OSHA electrical safety requirements, arc-flash hazards, shock protection boundaries, and electrical safe work conditions.
✅ Experience overseeing electrical energy isolation, LOTO plans, stored energy control, absence-of-voltage verification, and grounding requirements.
✅ Ability to evaluate energization prerequisites, including equipment inspections, testing, open deficiencies, personnel readiness, and system configuration.
✅ Demonstrated ability to independently stop or reject unsafe work without influence from construction schedules or production pressure.
✅ Ability to coordinate effectively with commissioning agents, general contractors, owners, electricians, QA/Cx personnel, and field leadership.

✅ Previous Energy Marshal or equivalent authority experience on a hyperscale data center project preferred.
✅ MV switching and grounding experience with documented task-specific qualifications preferred.
✅ Experience with NETA acceptance testing, electrical commissioning milestones, and equipment turnover preferred.
✅ Familiarity with Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), Cx Alloy, Procore, or similar digital permit and approval workflows preferred.
✅ Documented electrical safety training aligned with NFPA 70E preferred.
