  • Oversee installation and commissioning of panels, meters, gateways, and controls devices

  • Review and interpret drawings, specs, and schedules of values; ensure compliance with contract documents

  • Handle billing, pay applications, RFIs, and submittals in Procore and client systems

  • Track risks, troubleshoot delays, and keep industrial construction schedules on pace

  • Enforce safety, documentation, and quality standards in data centers and other critical environments

Work Environment & Physical Requirements

  • 5+ years in industrial construction (oil/gas, refineries, mining, auto manufacturing, heavy factories, or large-scale data centers)

  • Proven record of managing subcontractors, schedules, budgets, safety, and quality on major builds

  • Hands-on knowledge of construction means and methods (electrical, mechanical, or controls)

  • Procore experience-including RFIs, submittals, pay apps, and client billing workflows

  • Strong Excel skills with ability to manage schedules of values, reporting, and cost tracking

  • Clear leadership, client-facing communication, and problem-solving skills

Preferred Extras

  • Familiarity with BMS/EPMS controls systems or low-voltage electrical work

  • Experience with Microsoft Project or P6 scheduling

  • Knowledge of Ethernet/IP or Modbus protocols

  • Data-center project experience a plus

Career Path

New hires begin with a structured shadowing period (approx. 6 months) before leading their own projects. This ensures consistency, knowledge transfer, and alignment with JSET's standards before taking full ownership of a project portfolio.
