Manager, Head of Electrical Systems

Job Description Experience

Senior Level

$130,000 - $180,000 per year

We are seeking a senior electrical leader to own and scale the electrical systems strategy for a rapidly growing hyperscale data center product platform. This role is responsible for transforming complex electrical infrastructure into a repeatable, manufacturable, and high-performance product that can be deployed predictably across mission‑critical environments.

This is not a single-project role. The successful candidate will build and mature the electrical operating system that supports a scalable Design‑Manufacture‑Construct (DMC) delivery model, driving improvements in reliability, cost, and deployment speed with each product release.

• Own end-to-end electrical scope for the hyperscale product line
• Influence electrical architecture, distribution strategy, and redundancy approach
• Ensure alignment between product intent, manufacturability, and field performance
• Drive standardization and repeatability across deployments

• Push complexity out of field execution into controlled design and prefab environments
• Partner with manufacturing engineering to support takt-based production
• Influence panelization strategy, grounding systems, lighting/controls, and mission‑critical interfaces
• Support component standardization and sourcing strategy

• Ensure clean handoff between product design and construction execution
• Provide hands‑on leadership during early deployments
• Translate field performance data into structured product improvements
• Reduce variability and rework over time

• Build and lead a dedicated electrical team (PM, Designer, Manufacturing SME, Construction Lead)
• Establish operating rhythms, accountability, and performance expectations
• Develop team capability to scale with product growth
• Drive cross-functional alignment across Product, Platform, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and Construction

• Maintain accountability for electrical cost and margin performance
• Identify opportunities for cost reduction through standardization and design optimization
• Support predictable, margin‑positive deployments

• 12+ years of experience in commercial, industrial, or mission‑critical electrical systems
• Demonstrated ownership of complex electrical scope from design through deployment
• Experience managing large electrical budgets and/or margin performance
• Strong working knowledge of NEC, NFPA, grounding and bonding, and power distribution systems
• Hands‑on experience with switch gear, generators, UPS systems, and utility coordination
• Ability to interpret one‑line diagrams, electrical drawings, and specifications
• Proven leadership across design, manufacturing integration, and field execution

• Electrical Engineering degree not required
• PE, Master Electrician, or equivalent senior field leadership experience is highly valued

• Data center or other high‑reliability environment experience
• Exposure to prefabrication, modular construction, or productized delivery models
• Experience in takt‑based or manufacturing‑driven construction environments
• Background in mission‑critical redundancy architectures
• Experience integrating commissioning considerations into design and deployment

Based in Birmingham, AL

Approximately 55–65% onsite presence required

Travel to active deployment sites as needed

• Competitive base salary
• Performance‑based annual bonus tied to measurable product outcomes
• Long‑term incentive opportunity for sustained impact
• Significant growth runway aligned to hyperscale portfolio expansion
