Electrical Systems Expert

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Electrical SME is Managed Services' electrical expert embedded in a data center build - supporting design review and commissioning witness to ensure electrical systems are operable and maintainable at turnover. The electrical system is the facility's spine; this role makes sure it can be operated, switched, and maintained safely by the team inheriting it.

Some of the key responsibilities you should expect are the following:

**
Operability Design Review**

Review electrical designs - MV/LV distribution, generator plants, UPS systems, EPMS - for operability: maintenance access and working clearances, switching practicality and arc-flash exposure during real operating procedures, redundancy behavior under maintenance conditions, and labeling/mimic clarity. Push back where the design assumes maintenance that can't safely be performed.

Construction - Phase Verification

Walk electrical installations at key milestones: equipment setting and clearances, terminations and torque documentation, grounding, and cable management quality - flagging operability and quality issues to the MEP superintendent early.

Testing & Commissioning Witness

Witness NETA acceptance testing and Level 3-5 commissioning: protective device testing, generator and UPS transfer sequences, load bank testing, pull-the-plug scenarios, and integrated systems testing. Drive operational findings into the Cx log and verify closure.

Turnover Readiness

Verify electrical turnover packages: test records and settings files, one-lines and as-builts, arc-flash labels matching final studies, spare breakers and critical spares, PM program inputs, and switching procedures. Confirm operator training covers real switching and emergency scenarios.

Energization & Early Operations

Support energization sequences and early operations stabilization: alarm and EPMS tuning input, operating procedure refinement, and first-months troubleshooting with the operations team.

Program Feedback

Feed operational lessons into Hut 8 electrical standards and future basis-of-design decisions.

ABOUT YOU

-      What we're looking for:

• 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 it.

• NETA testing literacy: you can read the reports critically and catch what's missing.

• Maintainability instincts in design review: clearances, access, and safe isolation paths.

• Turnover documentation rigor, especially settings files and test records.

• Electrical license, military power background (Navy nuke/Air Force power pro), or engineering degree all welcome paths.

ABOUT THE WORK ENVIRONMENT

Full-time on-site based role.
