Company Overview

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

Why join us

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 be manufactured, deployed, and improved across multiple large-scale data center programs.

You'll have true ownership of electrical outcomes across the full lifecycle - from early architecture decisions through manufacturing integration and field performance. The organization is investing heavily in productization, standardization, and prefab-driven delivery, giving you the chance to move complexity out of the field and into controlled, scalable processes.

The role offers significant visibility and influence within an integrated Design-Manufacture-Construct model. You'll work cross-functionally with product, platform, supply chain, manufacturing, and construction leaders to drive measurable improvements in reliability, cost, and deployment speed.

This is a builder's environment. The electrical team, operating rhythm, and long-term roadmap are still taking shape, which means strong performers can leave a lasting fingerprint on how hyperscale infrastructure is delivered going forward.

Compensation is structured to reward impact, with performance incentives tied directly to margin improvement, standardization success, and deployment execution. For leaders who want to move beyond project execution and into true product and systems ownership, the growth runway is substantial.

Job Details

Overview

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.

Key Responsibilities
  • Electrical System Ownership
  • 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
Product & Manufacturing Integration
  • 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
Field Deployment & Performance
  • 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
Team Leadership
  • 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
Commercial & Financial Ownership
  • Maintain accountability for electrical cost and margin performance
  • Identify opportunities for cost reduction through standardization and design optimization
  • Support predictable, margin-positive deployments
Required Qualifications
  • 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…
