Manager, Head of Electrical Systems

Experience: Senior Level

Salary: $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, influencing electrical architecture, distribution strategy, and redundancy approach, and ensuring alignment between product intent, manufacturability, and field performance.
• Drive standardization and repeatability across deployments, pushing 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, and support component standardization and sourcing strategy.
• Ensure clean handoff between product design and construction execution, provide hands‑on leadership during early deployments, and translate field performance data into structured product improvements to 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, and 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, and 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 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.

We are a technology‑enabled construction company specializing in prefabricated and modular building solutions. We focus on streamlining design, manufacturing, and construction to deliver projects faster and more efficiently.

This is an opportunity to help build something that doesn’t exist yet — a repeatable, high‑performance electrical platform designed for hyperscale environments. Rather than managing one project at a time, you’ll shape a system that will…
