Position Summary

The Energy Marshal Manager is the primary onsite authority responsible for controlling, coordinating, and overseeing electrical energization, de-energization, and Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) activities for large-scale data center construction projects.

This role is responsible for ensuring that equipment start-ups, breaker operations, switching activities, and energization sequences are executed safely, consistently, and in accordance with Hays Electrical Services’ Energy Control Program, NFPA 70E, OSHA standards, and project-specific energization protocols.

The Energy Marshal Manager plays a key role in maintaining energized work boundaries, access control, safety planning, documentation control, communication flow, and coordination with commissioning teams, field leadership, the general contractor, and applicable project stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead implementation of the project energization and Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) program within HES’ electrical scope of work
• Coordinate energization planning with project leadership, field supervision, commissioning teams, the general contractor, vendor partners, and other project stakeholders
• Maintain control over energization activities, switching sequences, breaker operations, and energized work boundaries to ensure work is performed by approved and qualified personnel
• Facilitate energization readiness meetings, LOTO coordination meetings, and daily planning discussions to confirm scope, sequencing, hazards, required controls, and documentation status
• Ensure required energization and LOTO documentation is submitted, reviewed, approved, maintained, and available in accordance with HES and project requirements
• Verify that pre-energization requirements are complete, including equipment readiness, QA/QC closeout status, labeling, signage, barriers, access restrictions, and hazard boundaries
• Oversee proper application, tracking, and removal of locks, tags, permits, and control points to maintain compliance with energy-control requirements
• Maintain accurate updates to single-line diagrams, breaker schedules, energized equipment postings, LOTO tracking boards, and room status information
• Control access to energized spaces by maintaining authorization lists, room access rules, signage, and restricted-area controls
• Maintain a strong field presence in electrical rooms, energization preparation areas, and locations where switching, testing, or commissioning activities occur
• Communicate energization status, high-risk conditions, documentation gaps, equipment status, and readiness concerns to project leadership and applicable stakeholders
• Validate qualified-worker status, training documentation, and orientation requirements for personnel involved in LOTO, switching, energized work, or work on de-energized electrical systems
• Support commissioning and turnover activities by coordinating equipment availability, system status, access limitations, and readiness conditions
• Provide guidance, coaching, and assurance oversight to reinforce energized work boundaries, human-performance awareness, and safe energy-control execution
• Ensure all activities remain within HES authority and are focused on safe execution, field verification, documentation accuracy, and energy-control governance within the electrical scope of work
