Energy Marshal

Join Amteck as a Traveling Energy Marshal 

Amteck is seeking an experienced Energy Marshal to lead hazardous-energy control and electrical-safety coordination on data center construction projects across the United States. 

In this role, you will oversee Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), energization, de-energization, and energy-isolation activities during construction, commissioning, startup, maintenance, and turnover. You will work closely with project leadership, electrical crews, contractors, commissioning teams, vendors, and client representatives to coordinate safe execution and maintain accurate system-status records. 

This is a national traveling position requiring assignments at project sites throughout the United States. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Develop, implement, maintain, and audit project-specific hazardous-energy-control and LOTO programs. 

• Coordinate LOTO permits, approvals, verification, issuance, and closeout. 

• Maintain accurate records of active isolations, locks, tags, permits, equipment status, and responsible personnel. 

• Lead planning and coordination for energization, de-energization, isolation, switching, testing, startup, and re-energization activities. 

• Verify required inspections, testing, commissioning prerequisites, documentation, access controls, and personnel notifications are complete before energization. 

• Review electrical single-line diagrams, switching procedures, LOTO plans, activity hazard analyses, and related system documentation. 

• Conduct pre-energization meetings, field walks, daily energy-control briefings, inspections, and shift-turnover reviews. 

• Coordinate energy-control boundaries across electrical, mechanical, controls, commissioning, vendor, and client teams. 

• Monitor system status involving utility services, switchgear, transformers, generators, automatic transfer switches, UPS systems, batteries, and power-distribution equipment. 

• Verify personnel performing energy-related work have the required training, qualifications, and authorization. 

• Maintain controlled access, signage, barricades, labels, and restricted areas. 

• Exercise stop-work authority when unsafe conditions, uncontrolled energy hazards, or procedural deficiencies are identified. 

• Support incident investigations, corrective actions, and project turnover documentation. 

Required Qualifications 

• High school diploma or equivalent. 

• Significant field experience in electrical construction, electrical safety, commissioning, startup, or hazardous-energy management. 

• Demonstrated experience coordinating complex LOTO and energization activities. 

• Ability to read and interpret electrical single-line diagrams and switching documentation. 

• Working knowledge of data center power-distribution systems and energization sequencing. 

• Ability to recognize electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, thermal, chemical, gravity, and stored-energy hazards. 

• Strong communication, documentation, and field leadership skills. 

• Ability to coordinate work across multiple contractors and trades. 

• Willingness and ability to travel to project assignments nationwide. 

Required Training and Credentials 

• Current NFPA 70E electrical-safety training appropriate to assigned responsibilities. 

• OSHA 30-Hour Construction training or equivalent project-approved safety training. 

• Documented LOTO and hazardous-energy-control training. 

• Required project-specific electrical-safety, emergency-response, site-access, and client training or authorization. 

Preferred Qualifications 

• Journeyman or master electrician license. 

• Previous experience as an Energy Marshal, Electrical Safety Coordinator, LOTO Coordinator, Commissioning Coordinator, or in a similar role. 

• Experience in data centers, healthcare, semiconductor, industrial, or other mission-critical facilities. 

• Experience with medium-voltage distribution, switchgear, transformers, generators, automatic transfer switches, UPS systems, batteries, and electrical commissioning. 

• Experience using digital permit, drawing-control, inspection, or LOTO-tracking systems. 

Benefits 

• Medical insurance 

• Dental insurance 

• Vision insurance 

• 401(k) 

• Short-term disability insurance 

• Long-term disability insurance 

• Paid time off 

Work Environment 

This position requires regular work in active construction and commissioning areas, including walking jobsites, climbing stairs and ladders, accessing electrical and mechanical spaces, and wearing required personal protective equipment. Work may involve construction noise, dust, temperature changes, and schedules supporting critical energization and switching activities.
