About the Job

Requirements

  • High school diploma or GED and at least 10 years of applicable experience in industrial or commercial field engineering in mission-critical facilities and electrical infrastructures.
  • In-depth knowledge of medium-voltage (over 1,000 V) and low-voltage (under 1,000 V) power distribution sequences of operation.
  • Understanding of how to isolate potential energy sources, including potential backfeeds, and perform absence-of-voltage verifications.
  • Knowledge of and certification in NFPA 70E.
  • Hands-on experience with startups, lockout/tagout (LOTO), and absence-of-voltage verification.
  • Leadership experience in the electrical field, preferably overseeing commissioning.
  • Ability to make decisions in high-pressure environments with condensed schedules.
  • Knowledge of construction techniques, terminology, and documentation, including interpreting blueprints, electrical one-lines, and construction drawings.
  • Ability to work with computer screens for extended periods and sit for extended periods.
  • Ability to reach by extending hands or arms in any direction and manipulate objects with finger dexterity, such as using a keyboard.
  • Ability to listen to and understand spoken information, communicate information verbally so others understand, read and understand written information, apply general rules to specific problems, and identify and understand another person's speech.

Responsibilities

  • Manage the site's electrical energy isolation program for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) energy, ensuring that activities are coordinated and executed according to established policies and procedures.
  • Review procedures, job hazard analyses, permits, and other documentation, and audit the electrical energy program to ensure safe working conditions for construction, commissioning, maintenance, and operations activities.
  • Work with construction and commissioning teams and other stakeholders to establish safe conditions for testing and validating MEP system installation, operation, and performance.
  • Coordinate electrical energizations and de-energizations with other energy marshals and stakeholders.
  • Lead pre-energization and energization kickoff meetings before first-of-kind equipment or system energizations.
  • Understand the commissioning plan of record and specifications as they relate to jobsite equipment energization.
  • Advance electrical safety improvements on the job and in future designs.
  • Implement the site-specific Electrical Safety Plan.
  • Review near-energized-work scenarios and develop risk assessments to determine safe work practices for activities in energized environments.
  • Provide field oversight during major commissioning or energy-isolation activities, including first-of-kind work, methods of procedure, medium-voltage operations, and work affecting turned-over spaces.
  • Coordinate daily commissioning operations with the commissioning lead.
  • Participate in safety LOTO inspections and audits.
  • Coordinate LOTO and outage requests with M.C. Dean Safety, the general contractor, the client, and affected vendors and subcontractors.
  • Coordinate energization requirements and potential impacts to the jobsite commissioning schedule.
  • Coordinate access and egress for access-controlled areas.
  • Train new and existing employees in energy-isolation processes and procedures, and train and verify the competency of individuals performing LOTO for each equipment type.
  • Attend and participate in daily commissioning meetings and weekly jobsite all-hands meetings.
  • Develop, review, and approve LOTO permits.
  • Lead and attend M.C. Dean operational risk management safety briefings with the commissioning team and vendors.
  • Ensure personal protective equipment and necessary tools and equipment are suitable for use.

Desired Qualifications

  • Strong experience operating and maintaining building MEP systems, including power distribution, lighting, grounding, fire alarm, security, life safety, and controls systems.
  • Experience working with battery-backed-up and generator systems.
