Job description

The Opportunity

Own the Power When It Matters Most

At 3 a.m., customers still expect 100% uptime. On nights, you're the person who delivers it.

Our client is an enterprise data center operator with a growing site in Red Oak, Texas, about 30 minutes south of Dallas. Several night-shift chief roles are open now, with more to follow as new buildings come online. You'll lead the electrical side of critical operations, on site and hands-on.

Location: Red Oak, TX · Type: Full-time · Shift: Nights, including weekend coverage · Salary: $140,000–$155,000 per year, plus full benefits

What You'll Own

•      Electrical infrastructure. UPS systems and switchgear first, with generators and automatic transfer switches close behind.

•      Live incidents. Diagnose the issue, coordinate the response, escalate at the right moment, and see it through to recovery.

•      Your team. Lead roughly 9–11 people, communicate clearly under pressure, and report to the on-site director.

•      Procedures. Develop and review MOPs and SOPs, so critical changes run the same way every time.

•      Customer deployments. Make sure power preparation and installs go in correctly and on time.

•      Reporting. Deliver monthly metrics to site leadership.

  • Bachelor's degree from a four-year college or university preferred, or equivalent training, education and experience
