The specialist performs electrical work in accordance with applicable electrical codes, safety requirements, engineering specifications, and data center operating procedures. The position requires strong technical knowledge, attention to detail, and the ability to safely troubleshoot electrical systems while maintaining high standards of reliability and uptime. Essential Duties and Responsibilities

Install, maintain, inspect, and troubleshoot electrical systems and equipment within data center facilities.

Install and maintain electrical distribution equipment, panels, breakers, disconnects, transformers, and related components.

Install, configure, and maintain rack-mounted Power Distribution Units (PDUs) and associated power connections.

Support the installation, maintenance, testing, and troubleshooting of Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems.

Inspect and maintain switchgear, automatic transfer switches (ATS), static transfer switches (STS), and other critical power equipment.

Assist with generator and emergency power-system inspections, testing, and maintenance.

Perform electrical testing, voltage measurements, continuity checks, and other diagnostic activities using appropriate test equipment.

Troubleshoot electrical circuits, power distribution problems, equipment failures, and abnormal operating conditions.

Read and interpret electrical drawings, one-line diagrams, schematics, wiring diagrams, equipment manuals, and engineering documentation.

Verify electrical installations against project specifications, drawings, and applicable codes.

Perform installation and maintenance of grounding and bonding systems.

Assist with electrical commissioning, equipment startup, functional testing, and system validation.

Perform preventive and corrective maintenance on electrical infrastructure and critical power systems.

Identify defective, damaged, or improperly installed electrical components and coordinate corrective actions.

Maintain accurate maintenance records, inspection reports, test results, equipment documentation, and work-order information.

Support electrical load testing, power-quality monitoring, and equipment performance verification as assigned.

Coordinate with data center operations, facilities, engineering, contractors, and other technical teams.

Follow approved Method of Procedure (MOP), Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), and Emergency Operating Procedure (EOP) requirements.

Follow lockout/tagout (LOTO), arc-flash, electrical safety, PPE, and site-specific safety procedures.

Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area.

Respond to electrical alarms, equipment issues, and facility events according to established escalation procedures.

Provide technical guidance and support to other technicians as required.

Perform other related duties as assigned.
