About the Job

Requirements

  • High school diploma or GED and at least 10 years of applicable experience in industrial or commercial field engineering at mission-critical facilities and electrical infrastructures.
  • In-depth knowledge of medium-voltage (greater than 1,000 V) and low-voltage (less than 1,000 V) power distribution sequence of operations.
  • Ability to isolate potential energy sources, including potential back feeds, and perform absence-of-voltage verifications.
  • NFPA 70E knowledge and certification.
  • 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.

Responsibilities

  • Manage the site's electrical energy isolation program for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) energy, ensuring that energy-isolation activities are coordinated and executed across assigned locations according to established policies and procedures.
  • Review procedures, job hazard analyses, and permits, and audit the electrical energy program for construction, commissioning, maintenance, and operations to ensure safe working conditions.
  • Work with construction and commissioning teams and other stakeholders to establish safe conditions and test and validate the installation, operation, and performance of MEP systems.
  • Coordinate electrical energizations and de-energizations with other energy marshals and stakeholders.
  • Lead pre-energization and energization kickoff meetings before first-of-kind energization of equipment or systems.
  • Understand the commissioning plan of record and commissioning 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 that determine safe work practices for work in energized environments.
  • Provide field presence and operational oversight during major commissioning or energy-isolation activities, including first-of-kind work, method-of-procedure activities, medium-voltage operations, and activities affecting turned-over spaces.
  • Coordinate daily operations with the commissioning lead.
  • Participate in safety lockout/tagout inspections and audits.
  • Coordinate lockout/tagout 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 to and egress from access-controlled areas.
  • Train new and existing employees in energy-isolation processes and procedures, and train and verify the competency of individuals performing lockout/tagout by equipment type.
  • Attend and participate in daily commissioning meetings and weekly jobsite all-hands meetings.
  • Develop, review, and approve lockout/tagout permits.
  • Lead and attend M.C. Dean operational risk management safety briefs with the commissioning team and vendors.
  • Ensure personal protective equipment, 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.
