About the Role

<div class="content-intro"><p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p></div><p><strong>ABOUT THE ROLE</strong></p> <table width="774"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="582"> <p>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.</p> <p>Some of the key responsibilities you should expect are the following:</p> <p><strong><br>Operability Design Review</strong></p> <p>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.</p> <p><strong>Construction - Phase Verification</strong></p> <p>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.</p> <p><strong>Testing &amp; Commissioning Witness</strong></p> <p>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.</p> <p><strong>Turnover Readiness</strong></p> <p>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.</p> <p><strong>Energization &amp; Early Operations</strong></p> <p>Support energization sequences and early operations stabilization: alarm and EPMS tuning input, operating procedure refinement, and first-months troubleshooting with the operations team.</p> <p><strong>Program Feedback</strong></p> <p>Feed operational lessons into Hut 8 electrical standards and future basis-of-design decisions.</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>ABOUT YOU</strong></p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td> <p>-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What we're looking for:<br><br></p> <p>- 8+ years in critical facilities electrical operations, commissioning, or NETA-adjacent field roles.</p> <p>- Deep knowledge of MV/LV switchgear, protective devices, generator and UPS systems, and EPMS/power monitoring.</p> <p>- Commissioning witness experience through integrated systems testing in mission-critical environments.</p> <p>- NFPA 70E fluency and real switching/LOTO experience - you've operated the gear, not just reviewed it.</p> <p>- NETA testing literacy: you can read the reports critically and catch what's missing.</p> <p>- Maintainability instincts in design review: clearances, access, and safe isolation paths.</p> <p>- Turnover documentation rigor, especially settings files and test records.</p> <p>- Electrical license, military power background (Navy nuke/Air Force power pro), or engineering degree all welcome paths.</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>ABOUT THE WORK ENVIRONMENT</strong></p> <p>Full-time on-site based role.&nbsp;</p>
