About The Position

RWD Consulting LLC is seeking a full-time Lead/Senior Electrician – Mission-Critical Facilities in Martinsburg, West Virginia, supporting the Department of Veterans Affairs and secondary locations including the VA IT Training Academy and OIT Shepherdstown Facility. Employment is contingent upon Tenacity Solutions’ successful award of the contract. The position pays $33.00 per hour and is allocated 40 hours per week. The work primarily supports Monday through Friday, 0800–1630, excluding Federal holidays. Additional support may be required for planned outages, electrical switching, emergency response, equipment failures, and mission-critical restoration activities, consistent with staffing and safety requirements. The electrician installs, repairs, and replaces facility electrical systems, and supports mission-critical electrical infrastructure and operational redundancy. Systems and activities include medium- and low-voltage distribution, switchgear, UPS and ATS systems, generators, power distribution, branch circuits, and local controls. Duties also include switching, lockout/tagout, emergency troubleshooting, restoration, operational support, and routine electrical component replacement and testing. Energized-system, switching, paralleling, medium-voltage, or dual-verification work requires two qualified personnel. The role requires applicable current certifications, substantial journeyman and facility electrical experience, and the ability to interpret prints, schematics, and manufacturer technical documents; troubleshoot complex installations; test and inspect electrical equipment safely; evaluate test data; and document maintenance and operational activity. U.S. citizenship or Alien Registration authorizing employment in the United States is required. Trades experience, journeyman qualifications, OEM training, technical certifications, and facility engineering experience may be considered more important than a traditional four-year degree. Experience may be combined across jobs if the total months demonstrate the stated requirements.
