Journeyman Electrician

Job Title: Journeyman Electrician

Engagement Type: Full Time

Location: Onsite, Columbiana, AL

Reports To: Operations Director / Operations Lead

Schedule: To be confirmed

Role Overview

This role supports a modular containerized data center facility. The electrician will be responsible for operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of the full electrical plant serving a high-density compute environment. No prior data center experience is required; the candidate will receive system-specific onboarding and training.

Electrical Infrastructure

• Diesel generator: onsite standby power generation
• Power Distribution Container: primary switchgear, distribution panels, and metered PDUs
• High-density compute rack power feeds: 415V (B200 racks, IEC 309 125A 3P N PE) and 400V (B300 racks, IEC 309 125A 3P N PE) branch circuits
• Rack-level metered PDUs serving GPU compute infrastructure
• CDU (Coolant Distribution Unit) power feeds: 250 kW per unit
• UPS and transfer switching (confirm specifics during onboarding)
• BMS/BAS instrumentation and control wiring interfacing with mechanical systems
• PLC-controlled subsystems across power distribution and environmental monitoring
  
  

Experience Requirements

• Minimum: 5 years of hands-on commercial or industrial electrical experience, with demonstrated independent operation
• Preferred: 7 years, including experience with high-voltage distribution (208V and above), generator systems, and PLC-controlled environments
  
  

Equipment & Skills

Power Distribution

• Switchgear operation and maintenance: commercial or industrial
• Panel schedules: reading, updating, and load balancing
• Single-line diagram interpretation
• Metered PDU installation and troubleshooting
• High-voltage branch circuit work: 208V and above
• IEC plug and connector types (IEC 309, C13, C19, C20)
  
  

Generator

• Standby diesel generator operation and maintenance
• Generator transfer switch: manual and automatic
• Load bank testing familiarity
• Generator fuel system inspection and maintenance
  
  

PLC / Controls

• PLC operation: reading ladder logic and fault codes
• PLC I/O troubleshooting: digital and analog signals
• Instrumentation wiring: sensors, transmitters, and transducers
• BMS/BAS: reading setpoints, alarms, and control sequences
• PLC programming or parameter modification
  
  

Safety

• Lockout/tagout (LOTO): written programs and field execution
• Energized work procedures: justified and documented
• Arc flash boundary identification and PPE selection
• NFPA 70E training
• Conduit, cable tray, and raceway installation and repair
  
  

Documentation

• As-built markup and redline drawings
• Maintenance logs and work order completion
• Following written SOPs and commissioning checklists
  
  

Certifications

• Alabama Journeyman Electrician License - Required
• OSHA 10 - Preferred
• NFPA 70E Training - Preferred
• No additional certifications required; hands-on experience and demonstrated competency take priority
  
  

Behavioral & Operational Expectations

• Ability to operate independently onsite without direct supervision during normal operations
• Reads and works from drawings and specifications without needing verbal walkthroughs
• Willing to contribute to SOPs where none exist
• Follows written SOPs and escalation procedures; does not improvise when protocols exist
• Communicates electrical anomalies promptly and accurately: written shift logs and verbal handoffs
• Physically capable of working in an outdoor containerized environment in Alabama summer conditions
• Comfortable working in close proximity to high-density, high-voltage equipment with strict PPE discipline
• Methodical fault isolation approach: traces circuits systematically rather than substituting components
  
  

Nice to Have

• Prior experience in a modular or containerized data center, co-location facility, critical facility, or industrial plant
• Familiarity with DCIM or power monitoring platforms
• Experience with high-density rack power infrastructure: overhead busway, whips, or branch circuit monitoring
• Master Electrician license
• Experience with commissioning or acceptance testing of electrical distribution systems
