About The Position

LotusWorks is hiring a dedicated, safety-focused Electrical Energy Marshal to oversee and coordinate the safe energization of electrical systems during the construction and commissioning phases of a large-scale data center project in Montgomery, Alabama. The role ensures electrical systems are energized in a controlled, phased, and compliant manner while coordinating with construction, commissioning, and operations teams.

The Electrical Energy Marshal reviews electrical work and commissioning documentation; leads electrical isolation and Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) controls; coordinates energization, de-energization, testing, and startup activities; and maintains control of equipment status and electrical work boundaries. The role works with contractors, commissioning agents, client representatives, safety teams, and controls and mechanical commissioning groups to support safe commissioning of data center electrical and related critical mechanical systems.

Requirements

• Certified in NFPA 70E - Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace.
• Minimum 5+ years of experience in electrical construction, commissioning, or facilities operations.
• Deep knowledge of LOTO procedures, temporary power management, and electrical system safety protocols.
• Proficient in interpreting one-line diagrams and electrical construction drawings.
• Strong communication and coordination skills with trades, contractors, and safety teams.
• Ability to lead and train field personnel on safe energization and electrical practices.
• Licensed Electrician (Journeyman or Master, depending on jurisdiction) is essential.
• Proof of education, licenses, and certifications will be required where applicable.

Responsibilities

• Review and approve Methods of Procedure (MOPs) associated with electrical work, energization, testing, and commissioning.
• Review and approve Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs), energization and de-energization plans, switching and isolation procedures, commissioning and testing procedures, drawings, single-line diagrams, test documentation, and supporting procedures.

• Lead and enforce LOTO requirements for electrical systems, including utility and medium-voltage systems, transformers, switchgear and switchboards, generators, UPS systems, PDUs and RPPs, busways, distribution panels, mechanical equipment electrical feeds, and control power and associated circuits.
• Verify electrical isolation and absence of voltage before work begins where required, and ensure stored electrical energy is identified and controlled.
• Verify equipment is safe before energization, de-energization, testing, or maintenance activities.
• Establish electrical work boundaries, access restrictions, and required PPE before work proceeds.
• Review and manage electrical activities related to energization and de-energization, electrical switching, equipment startup, electrical testing, protective device testing, controls and interlock verification, and integrated commissioning.
• Coordinate energization activities and confirm prerequisite inspections, testing, documentation, and safety controls are complete before power is introduced.
• Support safe commissioning and startup of electrical systems.
• Ensure electrical work complies with approved project requirements, applicable electrical safety requirements, and client standards; ensure hazards are controlled and prevent unauthorized or uncontrolled energization.
• Maintain clear control of equipment status, including energized, de-energized, isolated, under test, and released for commissioning.
• Ensure temporary power arrangements and electrical work areas are appropriately controlled.
• Coordinate daily electrical activities with electrical contractors, commissioning agents, general contractor and construction teams, owner and client representatives, site safety teams, controls/BMS/EPMS/SCADA teams, and mechanical commissioning teams where electrical interfaces are involved.
• Support safe startup and commissioning of utility and medium-voltage distribution, transformers, switchgear and switchboards, generators, UPS systems, ATS/STS systems, PDUs/RPPs, busway, EPMS, and electrical distribution supporting critical mechanical equipment such as chillers, dry coolers, CRAHs/CRACs, CDUs, and pumps.
• Perform other duties or responsibilities assigned in the role.
