Why these roles are hard to fill

  • Data center construction keeps demand for licensed electricians high, so operations roles compete with project work.
  • Medium-voltage and switching experience is a small slice of the electrician workforce.
  • Electricians compare license requirements, overtime, and on-call closely; vague postings lose them.

What to put in your posting

  • License requirement and the state it must be held in
  • Voltage classes and equipment: MV switchgear, UPS, generators, PDUs
  • Operations, maintenance service, or commissioning, and any travel
  • Shift pattern and maintenance-window expectations
  • 70E and NETA requirements
  • A pay range
