Critical Facilities Electrician -- Broadcast & Data Center

Job Description

Job Description Keep live sports on the air — every minute, every game

Picture this: a playoff game stretches past midnight, the control room is humming, and power delivery must be flawless. That’s when your expertise matters most. As a Critical Facilities Electrician, you’ll sustain the electrical backbone of a 24/7 broadcast and data center ecosystem where uptime isn’t a goal — it’s a mandate.

Where you’ll make an impact

Our client is a national leader in live sports broadcast production, supporting major networks such as Fox Sports, NBC Sports, Scripps Sports, and others.

• Collaborate with BMS/controls teams to monitor power quality and performance; align with HVAC on VFDs, motor controls, and equipment power.
• Execute tenant improvements and build-outs; coordinate with inspectors and contractors to keep projects compliant and on schedule.
• Maintain life-safety circuits: fire alarm interfaces, emergency egress lighting, and access-control power.
• Participate in rotating on-call duty to respond to after-hours incidents.
• Document work meticulously: as-builts, load calcs, logs, and work orders.
• Work to the letter of NEC/NFPA 70 and all safety protocols, including lockout/tagout and arc-flash procedures.
