Description

We are hiring skilled Electricians to support the installation, maintenance, and commissioning of mission-critical electrical systems for xAI's data centers. You will work on high-voltage and medium-voltage power distribution, backup power systems, grounding, lighting, and process power in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment where uptime and safety are paramount.

This is a hands-on role ideal for experienced journeyman electricians who thrive in industrial or data center settings and want to contribute directly to groundbreaking AI infrastructure.

Responsibilities:

  • Install, terminate, and test electrical systems including underground duct banks, conduits, cable pulling, switchgear, transformers, generators, UPS systems, PDUs, busways, and grounding.
  • Perform maintenance, troubleshooting, and repairs on low- and medium-voltage power distribution systems.
  • Support commissioning activities: point-to-point checks, functional testing, megger testing, and system energization.
  • Read and interpret electrical drawings, schematics, one-line diagrams, and specifications.
  • Ensure full compliance with NEC, NFPA 70E, OSHA, and xAI safety & quality standards (including LOTO and arc flash protocols).
  • Collaborate with contractors, engineers, and operations teams to deliver projects on time with zero incidents.
  • Participate in constructibility reviews and provide field feedback to improve designs.
  • Maintain accurate documentation, as-builts, and test records.

Basic Qualifications:

  • Journeyman Electrician license (or equivalent) with 2+ years of hands-on experience in industrial, commercial, or mission-critical electrical work (data centers, power plants, or large facilities preferred).
  • Strong knowledge of electrical systems up to 480V (medium/high voltage experience a big plus).
  • Proficiency with test equipment (multimeters, meggers, power quality analyzers, etc.).
  • Ability to read blueprints and electrical diagrams.
  • Current OSHA 10/30 training and strong safety mindset.
  • Willingness to work flexible hours, including nights, weekends, and extended shifts during critical builds or commissioning.
  • Ability to lift 50+ lbs, climb ladders, and work in industrial environments with PPE.

Preferred Skills and Experience:

  • Experience with data center or hyperscale power infrastructure (redundant UPS, generators, busway systems).
  • NETA certification, NICET, or equivalent.
  • Knowledge of PLC/controls, SCADA, or variable frequency drives.
  • Prior work on large-scale construction projects.
