Data Center Energy Marshall

PTS Advance•Norcross, GA

11d

About The Position

We're looking for someone to take the lead on electrical safety for large Data Center construction projects—someone who can keep people safe, keep the work moving, and build a culture where safety is something the team actually believes in , not just checks a box for. In this role, you'll be the go-to person for all things energy control, lockout/tagout (LOTO), and pre-energization. You'll coordinate with owners, contractors, and vendors to make sure everyone understands the safety plan and follows it. You'll help build a “can-do” safety environment tailored to each project's unique challenges.

Requirements

A servant-leader mindset: willing to lead from the front but also set firm expectations.
Ability to balance strict safety requirements with practical decision-making.
Strong electrical background, ideally in fast-paced data center construction.
Experience writing, reviewing, and executing MOPs for critical power systems.
Understanding of data center operations and redundancy.
NFPA 70E training (required).
Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
Strong communication and teamwork abilities.
Ability to read line drawings and design effective LOTO systems.
Prior experience in an Energy Marshal or energy management role for data centers.
Willingness to travel or relocate for project assignments (some projects last years).
Ability to work nights or weekends when project needs require it.

Nice To Haves

OSHA 10/30 is a plus.
Licensed Electrician or Electrical Engineer strongly preferred.
