Energy Marshal - Data Centers

The Energy Marshal will oversee and optimize electrical and energy systems for mission-critical facilities, with a primary focus on data center operations. This role ensures continuous, efficient, and safe power delivery by monitoring power distribution, coordinating maintenance and emergency response, driving energy-efficiency initiatives, and supporting capacity planning. The Energy Marshal works closely with facilities, engineering, and operations teams to reduce risk, improve resilience, and meet regulatory and sustainability targets.

Key Responsibilities

• Monitor and manage power systems including UPS, generators, switch gear, PDUs, and power distribution networks to ensure uninterrupted operation of data center and mission-critical equipment.
• Respond to and coordinate resolution of power incidents and outages, lead emergency response during power events, and execute post-event root cause analysis and corrective actions.
• Schedule and coordinate preventative and corrective maintenance with internal teams and external vendors to minimize downtime and maintain reliability.
• Implement and oversee energy-efficiency programs and continuous improvement initiatives to reduce consumption and lower operating costs while maintaining SLAs.
• Collect, analyze, and report energy and electrical performance data using building management systems (BMS), SCADA, and energy monitoring tools; produce regular capacity and trend reports for stakeholders.
• Support capacity planning and change management for power-related upgrades, equipment installations, and load migrations to ensure proper sizing and redundancy.
• Conduct regular inspections, safety checks, and testing of electrical systems; ensure compliance with applicable standards and codes (e.g., NFPA 70E, local electrical codes, ISO standards).
• Develop and maintain detailed documentation, electrical single-line diagrams, standard operating procedures, and maintenance records.
• Provide training, guidance, and regular drills for on-site staff on power system operations, safe work practices, and emergency procedures.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (facilities, operations, engineering, sustainability, and vendors) to align energy strategy with business and mission-critical requirements.

Qualifications

• Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering, Facilities Engineering, Energy Management, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
• 3+ years of hands-on experience in data center or mission-critical facilities managing electrical or power systems; experience as an Energy Marshal or similar role is highly desirable.
• Practical knowledge of UPS systems, generators, switch gear, PDUs, transfer switches, and electrical distribution principles.
• Experience with energy monitoring, BMS/SCADA systems, and data analysis tools for reporting and capacity planning.
• Familiarity with industry standards and regulations (e.g., NFPA 70E, NEC, ISO, local codes) and strong commitment to safety and compliance.
