• Participate in division-level planning, including manpower forecasting, advancement pathways, training initiatives, and succession planning. 

• Represent the Electrical Division in executive-level coordination meetings, owner interactions, and high-level project planning discussions. 

• Lead constructability reviews, schedule sequencing, high-risk activity planning, and resource distribution across projects. 

• Evaluate project staffing needs and assist in selecting, assigning, and developing future leaders within the electrical workforce. 

• Provide rapid response troubleshooting, problem-solving, and technical leadership for complex field challenges. 

• Ensure division-wide adherence to ESI’s safety culture, including high-risk electrical operations, energized work policies, and incident-prevention strategies. 

Advanced Technical Oversight, Controls & SCADA 

• Oversee installation, commissioning, and integration of advanced electrical infrastructure, including: 

– Medium- and high-voltage distribution 

– Complex switchgear and MCC configurations 

– Generators, ATS systems, UPS units 

– Automation, PLCs, VFDs, and industrial control systems 

– SCADA system architecture, field device communication, networking, and programming coordination 

• Act as the subject-matter expert for controls logic, system automation, instrumentation, and communication protocols (Modbus, BACnet, Ethernet/IP, etc.). 

• Coordinate with engineers, programmers, integrators, and commissioning agents to ensure proper SCADA functionality, alarming, data acquisition, and system interoperability. 

• Resolve advanced electrical and controls-related issues that impact safety, performance, sequence of operations, or mechanical/electrical integration. 

• Lead detailed testing and commissioning efforts, including system verification, torque audits, megger testing, power-up procedures, SCADA validation, and turnover documentation. 

• Approve complex electrical design changes, evaluate engineered solutions, and review critical RFI and submittal packages for constructability and code compliance. 

• Serve as the highest-level technical resource for NEC interpretation, NFPA 70E compliance, and engineered electrical system requirements. 

Project Coordination, Quality, and Compliance  

• Provide executive-level coordination with project managers, general contractors, engineering teams, and owner representatives to ensure project alignment, risk management, and technical compliance. 

• Assist in preconstruction planning, including estimating support, long-lead material identification, value-engineering strategies, and risk assessments. 

• Lead QA/QC initiatives across the division, ensuring installation standards exceed project specifications and client expectations. 

• Review and approve project documentation such as redlines, as-builts, commissioning logs, startup checklists, SCADA validation reports, and testing records. 

• Coordinate shutdown sequencing, utility interactions, temporary power distribution, and system energization activities. 

• Maintain awareness of jurisdictional requirements, national codes, federal standards, and project-specific security or compliance mandates. 

• Support contract review, schedule impacts, cost projections, and change-order justification in partnership with project management.
