About Overwatch Mission Critical

Overwatch is a service-disabled Veteran-owned small business (SDVOB) certified through the national veterans business development council (NVBDC), offering construction professional services, talent acquisition, and general contractor for the mission-critical infrastructure industry. Our mission is the construction and management of state-of-the-art data centers with the precision and reliability this industry demands. From high-end engineers to seasoned professionals, we deploy the people you need to get your data center off the ground. At Overwatch, it's more than a job. It's purpose.

Role Overview

We are seeking a highly experienced and detail-oriented QA/QC Technician with a specialization in electrical systems to join our hyperscale data center project. In this role, you will initially provide critical technical supervision and shadowing of the electrical contractor to ensure all installations strictly adhere to quality, safety, and design specifications. As the project progresses, you will transition into supporting Level 4 and Level 5 commissioning activities, including the Integrated Systems Test (IST). Data Center experience is strictly required, with previous Hyperscale Data Center experience heavily preferred.

Key Responsibilities:

Phase 1: Construction Quality Assurance & Technical Supervision

Contractor Shadowing: Actively shadow and supervise the electrical contractor on-site to validate that all installations are being properly and safely executed.
Quality Control Inspections: Perform routine inspections of electrical systems, ensuring compliance with project specifications, approved drawings, and industry standards.
Issue Management: Identify, document, and track installation deficiencies, deviations, or non-conformance reports (NCRs) using project management software.

Phase 2: Commissioning Support (Levels 4 & 5)

Level 4 Commissioning: Participate in and support Level 4 commissioning activities under the direction of the Commissioning Authority (CxA).
Level 5 Commissioning (IST): Actively support Level 5 Integrated Systems Testing (IST) to verify total data center system reliability and redundancy.
Documentation: Ensure all QA/QC checklists, test sheets, and commissioning documentation are accurately completed and archived.

Project Tracking & Software Use

Maintain real-time tracking of quality metrics and construction progress using Procore.
Review and align field activities with the master project schedule utilizing Microsoft Project.

Position Schedule & Details

Work Week: Monday through Friday.
Hours: Approximately 8 to 10 hours per day (daily start/end times to be aligned with site construction hours).
Location: On-site (Data Center Construction Site).

Experience & Education

Data Center Experience: 3–5 years of direct QA/QC or commissioning experience in mission-critical data center environments (Required).
Hyperscale Experience: 2+ years of experience on a Hyperscale data center build (e.g., AWS, Meta, Google, Microsoft, or equivalent large-scale colocation) is highly preferred and treated as a near non-negotiable asset.
Education/Licenses: No specific certifications or licenses are required. A background as a Journeyman Electrician, or a degree in Electrical Engineering/Construction Management, is a major plus.

Technical Skills & Systems Knowledge

Electrical Systems: Strong technical understanding of large-scale infrastructure, including MV/LV switchgear, UPS systems, backup generators, and PDUs.
Commissioning: Familiarity with the data center commissioning framework, specifically executing field checks for Level 4 (Functional Testing) and Level 5 (Integrated Systems Testing / IST).
Software: Proficient with Procore (for tracking deficiencies, punch lists, and daily logs) and Microsoft Project (for schedule alignment).

Field Capabilities

Contractor Oversight: Proven ability to shadow electrical contractors, inspect installation quality (torque, terminations, routing), and enforce project specs.
Communication: Clear verbal and written skills to collaborate effectively with field contractors and the Commissioning Authority (CxA).

Driver’s License Requirement:

For roles that require on-site presence or travel between work locations as an essential function of the position, candidates must possess and maintain a valid driver’s license appropriate for the role and be eligible to operate a motor vehicle in accordance with applicable laws.

Communication Skills:

Demonstrated ability to communicate effectively in a professional work environment, including preparing written reports and documentation, conveying information clearly to team members, clients, and stakeholders, and responding appropriately to verbal and written communications related to job duties.

Physical Requirements and Work Environment

This position operates primarily in an active data center construction environment, encompassing both indoor and outdoor work settings. The role requires the physical ability to perform essential job functions safely and effectively in a dynamic environment that includes ongoing construction activity and evolving site conditions.

The work environment includes areas and temporary structures owned, leased, or controlled by third parties over which Overwatch may have limited or no control. Because the project remains under construction, certain areas of the site — including access routes, staging zones, and temporary structures — may not yet be fully ADA-compliant until construction is complete or those third-party areas are finalized.

Physical Requirements:

Must be able to walk, stand, stoop, twist, bend, and climb stairs or ladders for extended periods while navigating uneven, unpaved, or obstructed terrain.
Must be able to lift, carry, push, or pull up to 50 pounds on an occasional basis.
Must be able to drive between job sites and access all areas of an active construction zone, including raised platforms, scaffolding, and confined spaces.
Must be able to tolerate exposure to outdoor weather conditions, dust, and construction-related noise, vibrations, and odors.
Must be able to communicate effectively with contractors, engineers, and site personnel, and maintain situational awareness in high-activity environments.
Personal protective equipment (PPE), including hard hats, safety vests, hearing protection, and steel-toe boots, is required.
Must have sufficient visual acuity to read drawings, specifications, and safety signage, and to observe site activity.

Work Environment:

Work is performed primarily in and around active construction areas, which may include unfinished buildings, temporary field offices, staging areas, and partially completed infrastructure. These locations may contain uneven surfaces, limited accessibility, and other conditions typical of construction projects prior to final completion. Overwatch does not control and cannot modify accessibility conditions within areas, facilities, or temporary structures owned or managed by third parties.

Reasonable Accommodation:

Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable qualified individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of this position, provided such accommodations do not create safety hazards, impede essential mobility within active work zones, or require modification of facilities not owned or controlled by Overwatch.

Benefits:

We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, including health insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, 401(k) plan, and paid time off. Relocation assistance is available to support candidates transitioning to the location.

OVERWATCH is committed to creating a diverse work environment and is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. OVERWATCH considers candidates regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability or veteran status.
