The company’s leadership includes one of only three Accredited Tier Designers in Houston, and is recognized as a third-generation data center owner-operator known for delivering an unparalleled customer experience.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a Director of Critical Power to serve as the in-house technical authority on the UPS, power distribution, and emergency power systems that underpin 100% uptime. This role is purpose-built for an experienced critical power professional who has spent a career on the OEM and field service side of the business—commissioning, troubleshooting, and maintaining the very systems that keep mission-critical facilities running—and is ready to bring that depth of knowledge to an owner-operator environment.

You will be the go-to expert for all critical power infrastructure across our client’s Houston campus, working directly with a tenured operations team during a period of significant expansion. Your deep familiarity with UPS platforms, switchgear, transfer switches, and battery systems—combined with established OEM and vendor relationships—will be a force multiplier for the organization.

• Perform root cause analysis on critical power system failures and develop corrective action plans to prevent recurrence and protect uptime commitments.
• Execute complex switching operations, load transfers, and system isolations following strict Method of Procedure (MOP) protocols and change management processes.
• Monitor and interpret data from Building Management Systems (BMS) and Electrical Power Monitoring Systems (EPMS) to identify trends, anomalies, and capacity risks.
• Support commissioning and acceptance testing of new critical power infrastructure associated with our client’s ongoing 24MW expansion, including factory witness testing and site acceptance.
• Manage vendor and contractor relationships for equipment servicing, warranty claims, emergency callouts, and capital improvement projects.
• Maintain detailed maintenance records, as-built documentation, battery test logs, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for all critical power systems.
• Participate in a 24/7 on-call rotation and serve as a first responder for power-related facility alarms and emergency events.
• Ensure compliance with NFPA 70E, OSHA, NEC, and all applicable codes and safety standards.

Required Qualifications

• 15+ years of progressive experience in critical power systems, with a strong emphasis on UPS field service, commissioning, and maintenance.
• Extensive hands-on experience with UPS platforms from major OEMs such as Schneider Electric/APC, MGE, Eaton, Toshiba/Mitsubishi, Vertiv/Liebert, or equivalent manufacturers.
• Deep working knowledge of power distribution systems including switchgear, transformers, PDUs, RPPs, bus duct, and battery systems (VRLA, lithium-ion).
• Demonstrated experience with automatic transfer switches (ATS) and static transfer switches (STS), including testing, maintenance, and failure response.
• Proven ability to read, interpret, and redline single-line diagrams, schematics, and electrical drawings.
• Proficiency in switching operations, lockout/tagout (LOTO), and energized work procedures in compliance with NFPA 70E.
• Strong vendor and OEM relationship management skills with established networks in the critical power ecosystem.
• Excellent documentation habits and experience working within formal change management and MOP frameworks.

Strongly Preferred Qualifications

• Background spanning multiple critical power OEMs and/or manufacturer’s representative organizations, providing broad product knowledge across competing platforms.
• Prior experience in a data center, colocation, or mission-critical facility environment (owner-operator, hyperscale, or enterprise).
• Experience in field operations leadership, including scheduling, dispatching, and managing service delivery teams.
• Familiarity with generator paralleling systems, medium-voltage distribution, and utility interconnection.
• Relevant certifications such as Journeyman or Master Electrician license, NFPA 70E certification, OEM factory training certifications, or BICSI credentials.
• Electrical Engineering degree, Electrical Technology degree, or equivalent technical training (military technical training fully valued).
• Experience supporting commissioning, capacity expansion, or new-build critical infrastructure projects.
• Familiarity with BMS/EPMS platforms (Schneider EcoStruxure, Vertiv Trellis, or similar).
• U.S. military service with technical MOS/rating experience is a recognized asset.

Why our Client?

• Join a team backed by a 20-year, 100% uptime track record—one of the strongest in the industry.
• Work alongside a tenured leadership team that includes an Accredited Tier Designer from the Uptime Institute.
• Serve as the in-house critical power authority—your OEM and field service expertise will have direct, visible impact on operations.
• Play a hands-on role in a major 24MW expansion, gaining experience with next-generation data center power infrastructure.
• Be part of a third-generation owner-operator known for engineering excellence and an exceptional customer experience (85+ five-star Google reviews).
• Collaborative, high-trust culture where deep technical knowledge is valued, recognized, and rewarded.
• Competitive compensation, benefits, and long-term career growth within a rapidly scaling platform.

Work Environment

We’re partnering with a data center platform delivering some of the most advanced mission-critical projects in the country - and they’re seeking a Senior Project Manager (Owner’s Rep) to lead from the front.

• 5+ years Project Management experience
• Mission-critical construction background required
• Experience leading projects from site due diligence through construction
• Strong ability to interpret design drawings

Substation design experience is a strong plus.

Why This Role Matters

This is an opportunity to:

• Influence high-value data center developments

• Build facilities that perform for decades

You’ll report directly to the Director of Construction and play a meaningful role in the continued expansion of a rapidly growing portfolio.

Sr. Project Manager – Data Centers (Central U.S. | Owner’s Rep)

Ground-up. Brownfield. Fit-out.

Three concurrent mission-critical builds.

We’re partnering with a 100% data center-focused platform seeking a Senior Project Manager to act as the Owner’s Representative across multiple projects in the Central U.S.

This is not a GC role.

This is leadership on behalf of the owner - driving schedule, cost, quality, and accountability from preconstruction through commissioning and turnover.

What You’ll Lead

• Oversight of multiple concurrent data center builds (ground-up + upgrades)
• Direct interface with ownership and executive stakeholders
• GC and engineering firm oversight across all phases

• Ability to read and interpret full drawing packages
• Proficiency in MS Project, Excel, Bluebeam, Procore
• Executive communication strength

Rotation schedule:

2 weeks onsite | 1 week remote/home-based

Why This Role Stands Out

• True Owner-side leadership exposure
• Executive-level reporting visibility
• Influence across a growing data center portfolio
• Multi-project oversight - not single-job tunnel vision
• Heavy impact on commissioning and turnover performance

This is for PMs who understand that in mission-critical environments, details are not optional -they’re everything.

If you’ve delivered data center infrastructure and want to operate at the ownership level rather than just manage trades, let’s connect confidentially.
