About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Quality Assurance Specialist to join our team on a high-profile data center facility project in New Albany, OH.

• Develop pre-functional inspection checklists for major electrical equipment in coordination with vendors.
• Review and approve contractor installation and check-out plans to confirm they meet project QA requirements.
• Coordinate with design teams, contractors, and commissioning agents to ensure quality objectives are met from pre-installation through turnover

Field Quality Oversight:

• Perform targeted site inspections to verify that work aligns with drawings, specifications, and industry standards.
• Review installation methods, material handling, and storage procedures to ensure compliance with QA guidelines.
• Oversee receipt inspections for incoming electrical equipment.
• Confirm corrective actions are completed and documented before system energization and testing.

Systems in Scope:

• Fire alarm detection systems.
• Transformers (dry and oil-filled), MV substations, MV/LV switchgear.
• UPS systems, battery monitoring, ATS/transfer switchgear.
• Distribution panels, grounding systems, variable frequency drives (VFDs).
• Standby generators, BMS devices, PMS/SCADA electrical controls.
• Medium/low-voltage pathways and conductors.

• 10+ years of electrical quality assurance or related experience on large-scale construction projects.
• Strong understanding of medium- and low-voltage electrical systems in mission-critical or semiconductor environments.
• Ability to develop and enforce QA programs and review complex project documentation (drawings, specifications, test plans).  

Preferred:

• Background as a superintendent, foreman, or electrical contractor with QA oversight responsibilities.
• Familiarity with Primavera P6, BIM 360, and quality documentation tools. 
• Experience collaborating with multidisciplinary teams on high-technology projects.
