Data Center Foreman - Now Hiring

Start time: 3-4 Weeks

Salary: 120-140K based on Exp.  10K end-of-year bonus based on performance from customer feedback.  

 

Job description:

ATMS is a turnkey design-build electrical and infrastructure contractor delivering mission-critical work across five market verticals: data centers, wireless and neutral host, EV charging, solar and battery storage, and federal and utility infrastructure.

We are executing a multi-phase electrical build-out at a hyperscale data center campus in Manassas & Ashburn, Virginia, and we are hiring a Lead Foreman to own the field execution of that scope.

 

THE ROLE

This is the most important field position on the project. You will run a crew of 15 to 20 technicians in a live hyperscale environment, and you will be the person the client sees, the schedule depends on, and the crew looks to.

We are looking for someone with a proven track record on hyperscale builds specifically not commercial work that scaled up, but data center work where you have already learned what an outage costs, what a client walkthrough feels like, and why the paperwork matters as much as the pipe.

The right candidate runs the work rather than reacting to it: identifies scope before it is handed to them, documents it, prices the material, sits in the scope meeting, and comes out of it with a plan the crew can execute Monday morning.

 

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

Crew Leadership

Directly manage and schedule a crew of 1520 technicians journeymen, apprentices, and helpers

Build daily and weekly work plans against the look-ahead; assign work by skill level and keep every hand productive

Run toolbox talks, enforce safety standards, and hold the crew to the workmanship expectations of a hyperscale client

Develop your people identify who is ready for more, coach the ones who are struggling, and escalate honestly when someone is not working out

Track and approve time, manage manpower loading against the budget, and flag overruns before they become a problem

Scope Identification & Documentation

Identify scope from drawings, specifications, walkdowns, and field conditions including scope that is not clearly assigned

Write clear, defensible scope documents that define what is included, what is excluded, and what assumptions were made

Recognize out-of-scope and changed work in the field and document it immediately with photos, quantities, and hours

Support change order and T&M ticket development with accurate field data

Generate and track RFIs on drawing conflicts and constructability issues rather than installing something you know is wrong

Material Management & Procurement Support

Identify required materials from drawings and specifications correct manufacturer, part number, and quantity

Build accurate material takeoffs and bills of material for purchasing

Manage lead times and long-lead items; escalate procurement risk to the PM before it hits the schedule

Coordinate deliveries, staging, laydown, and on-site material control; minimize waste and shrinkage

Verify received material against the submittal and the order before it goes to the floor

 

Client Interface

Represent ATMS professionally in front of the client, the general contractor, and the trades on a daily basis

Attend and contribute in scope meetings, coordination meetings, and progress reviews

Communicate constraints, risks, and schedule impacts clearly and early no surprises

Lead client walkthroughs of completed work and respond to punch items promptly

Understand that on a hyperscale campus, our conduct and our workmanship are how the next contract gets won

Quality Assurance & Quality Control

Working knowledge of the QA/QC process inspection and test plans, hold points, checklists, and turnover documentation

Self-check crew work against drawings and specifications before it is called complete

Maintain labeling, torque documentation, test records, and as-built redlines current daily rather than reconstructed at the end

Photograph and document work before it is concealed

Support commissioning activities and deliver a clean, complete turnover package

 

Problem Solving

Think past the obvious answer find the constructible solution when the drawing, the field condition, and the schedule do not agree

Resequence work, reallocate crew, and adjust the plan to hold the schedule when conditions change

Bring solutions to the PM and the client rather than only problems

Make sound decisions in the field with incomplete information, and know when to stop and escalate instead
