Mission Critical Electrician

About This Role

Nationwide openings for mission critical electricians to work on high-reliability power systems in data centers and similar critical facilities. You’ll be working where uptime matters — installing, maintaining and troubleshooting systems that keep servers and operations running. We need hands-on electricians who can read complex drawings, work safely on medium- and high-voltage equipment, and perform preventative and corrective maintenance under strict procedures. Assignments are nationwide and may require travel, overtime, and work in controlled-access facilities.

What You'll Do

• • Install, commission, and maintain mission critical electrical systems (switchgear, PDUs, UPS, generators, ATS) in data centers and critical facilities
• • Read and interpret single-line diagrams, schematics, and technical drawings to execute installations and modifications
• • Troubleshoot electrical faults safely and efficiently — perform diagnostics, isolate issues, and restore systems with minimal downtime
• • Perform medium- and high-voltage switching and maintenance following lockout/tagout and site-specific safety procedures
• • Install and test standby/emergency power systems, overcurrent devices, and grounding systems; document work and update as-built drawings

What We're Looking For

• • Proven experience with distribution equipment installation and maintenance in mission critical or commercial environments
• • Skilled at reading and interpreting technical drawings, single-line diagrams, and wiring schematics
• • Hands-on troubleshooting skills for electrical systems, including thermal/amp issues and wear-and-tear diagnostics
• • Experience with medium-voltage and standby/emergency power systems (UPS, generators, ATS) and overcurrent device selection
• • Strong commitment to safety and compliance with NEC, NFPA 70E, and site-specific procedures
• • Comfortable working on construction projects, coordinating with other trades, and following project schedules

Qualifications

• • Journeyman or higher electrician license where required by jurisdiction (preferred)
• • NFPA 70E certified or equivalent electrical safety training
• • OSHA 30-hour construction safety preferred; site-specific safety training as required
• • Medium-voltage switching and testing experience; vendor-specific UPS/generator training a plus
• • Valid driver’s license and willingness to travel nationwide; passport if international travel is needed
• • Ability to read technical drawings and communicate clearly in English; Spanish or other languages a plus

What We Offer

• • Competitive pay plus overtime for extended shifts
• • Travel assignments nationwide with per diem and lodging when required
• • Health, dental, and vision insurance options
• • 401(k) plan with employer match or retirement savings support
• • Paid training and certification reimbursement (NFPA 70E, OSHA, vendor training)
• • Tool/boot allowance and paid time off for vacation and holidays
