Travel Chief Energy Marshal-Mission Critical

L.F. Driscoll•Eagle Mountain, UT

About The Position

The Travel Chief Energy Marshal is a senior safety and technical leader responsible for overseeing safe energization and isolation activities across complex or large-scale mission-critical projects, particularly in data center environments. The role serves as the subject matter expert for energy isolation and Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), leading the planning, coordination, and enforcement of safe energized work practices. It provides mentorship to Energy Marshals and project teams and promotes consistency, risk mitigation, and continuous improvement across projects. The position serves as the primary authority for energy isolation on assigned projects or campuses, overseeing multiple systems, scopes, or phases of energization and commissioning. It works with project leadership, clients, commissioning teams, subcontractors, engineers, and commissioning agents on energy-related planning and risk. The role governs the site LOTO program, develops and reviews complex isolation procedures and plans, audits practices, trains personnel, and may stop unsafe work related to energy isolation. It also contributes to standardizing energy isolation procedures across projects and supports commissioning from pre-energization through completion and turnover. The role requires a related bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience, at least 7–10 years of experience in energy isolation, safety, or a related field, and NFPA 70E certification. The work may involve lifting more than 30 pounds, climbing ladders, and accessing confined or tight spaces for inspections and energization activities.
