The ideal candidate brings a strong engineering foundation, deep electrical and data center infrastructure experience, and proven leadership in managing production teams building complex systems. This individual will play a critical role in scaling operations, improving throughput, and ensuring quality, safety, and on-time delivery.

Production Leadership & Execution

• Lead daily production operations for modular data center builds, ensuring alignment with schedule, cost, and quality targets
• Manage and develop a team of supervisors, electricians, and assembly technicians
• Drive production planning, staffing, and workflow coordination across multiple work streams (electrical, mechanical, structural)
• Ensure on-time delivery of customer programs in a high-mix, low-volume manufacturing environment

Electrical & Data Center Integration

• Oversee installation and integration of electrical systems including power distribution, switch gear, UPS systems, and control panels
• Ensure compliance with NEC, UL, and data center design standards
• Partner closely with engineering on system designs, redlines, and manufacturability improvements
• Support commissioning, testing (FAT), and troubleshooting of electrical systems

Engineering & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Act as the bridge between Engineering, NPI, Supply Chain, and Quality to ensure seamless production execution
• Review drawings, schematics, and BOMs to ensure production readiness
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on Lean manufacturing, process optimization, and throughput
• Identify and resolve production bottlenecks, technical issues, and resource constraints

Safety, Quality & Compliance

• Champion a strong safety-first culture aligned with OSHA and company standards
• Ensure adherence to quality standards and inspection processes throughout build cycles
• Implement and maintain standard work, process controls, and documentation
• Lead root cause analysis and corrective actions for production and quality issues

Operational Excellence

• Track and report key production metrics including throughput, efficiency, on-time delivery, and quality performance
  
  Drive improvements in labor utilization, material flow, and production layout
• Support scaling of manufacturing operations to meet growing demand

Required

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (strongly preferred; Mechanical or related considered with strong electrical experience)
• 5–10+ years of experience in manufacturing, production, or operations leadership
• Hands‑on experience with electrical systems, power distribution, or industrial electrical integration
• Background in data centers, modular systems, power systems, or mission‑critical infrastructure
• Prior leadership experience managing electricians, technicians, or skilled trades teams
• Strong understanding of electrical codes (NEC), safety standards, and quality systems

Preferred

• Experience in modular construction, containerized systems, or prefabricated infrastructure
• Licensed electrician or strong field electrical background
• Experience with data center builds, BESS systems, or power generation systems
• Familiarity with Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or continuous improvement methodologies
• Experience working in a high‑growth or startup manufacturing environment
