Electrical Superintendent Visa Sponsorship Jobs in Arizona

ABOUT THE ROLE

Since 1886, Lewis has built some of the Pacific Northwest’s most important places: hospitals, research labs, schools, and data centers. Now we’re bringing that same excellence and care to data center work in Arizona. Plus, we’re 100% employee-owned, so everyone on our team has a stake in our success and a voice in where we go next.

On a data center, the day power first hits new switchgear is the day everything has to be right. As our Electrical Superintendent, you make sure it is. The gear has been inspected, the sequence is planned, every crew is protected, and the client’s uptime is never at risk.

We’re hiring an Electrical Superintendent to run electrical field operations on data center and advanced technology projects in the Phoenix area. You’ll own the electrical side of the job in the field: power distribution, low-voltage systems, temporary power, energization, shutdowns, safety, quality, schedule, crew productivity, trade coordination, and site logistics.

You’ll be the link between the field, the project team, the client, trade partners, and commissioning agents, and the person they all count on to give it to them straight.

This role fits someone who has run large electrical scopes on data centers or other mission critical work, where uptime, safety, and sequencing aren’t negotiable. Maybe you came up through the trade, maybe through general contracting, maybe both. What matters is that you’ve done the work and led the people doing it.

You’ll be on site every day, your calls will shape how these facilities get built and energized, and as an employee-owner you’ll share in what we build.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

In your first year, here’s what we expect to see:

• Your jobsite is safe, organized, and productive. Crews know the plan, work is coordinated, and commitments get met.
• Energizations and shutdowns go as planned, with no injuries and no surprises for the client.
• The client trusts you. They know you understand their uptime and schedule priorities, and they hear about problems from you early.
• Your foremen and assistant superintendents are getting better because you coach them, set clear expectations, and give them room to grow.
• Trade partners want to work with you again.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Run the field

• Lead day-to-day electrical field operations, including power distribution, low-voltage systems, temporary power, energization, and commissioning readiness.
• Assign field and project team members so work gets done safely, on time, on budget, and right the first time.
• Build the schedule, keep it current, and hold the team to it.
• Bring field know-how to preconstruction: constructability, site logistics, phasing, and electrical sequencing.
• Coordinate electrical trade partners, suppliers, commissioning agents, the utility, and equipment vendors so issues get solved fast.
• Drive closeout, including punch list, turnover, and warranty handoff.

Keep people safe and the work right

• Set the tone for safety on site every day.
• Walk the job, run safety audits, and deal with hazards on the spot.
• Build safety into the plan from preconstruction through execution.
• Plan the electrical work that’s unique to data centers: medium- and low-voltage distribution, temporary power, equipment setting sequence, energization, shutdowns, commissioning readiness, and work in live or sensitive environments.
• Perform pre-energization inspections, first-time energization, shutdowns, and energy control (lockout/tagout), working closely with the Energy Marshal.
• Check that installed work matches the drawings, specs, client standards, commissioning and turnover requirements, and Lewis standards.

Lead and develop people

• Coach and develop foremen, assistant superintendents, and field team members, and help them build careers at Lewis.
• Make training a regular part of how you run the job, not an afterthought.
• Recruit and keep good tradespeople and field leaders.
• Keep your crews informed about safety expectations, company news, and what’s coming next.
• Communicate clearly with clients, project teams, crews, trade partners, and leadership.

Keep the record straight

• Document safety plans, procedures, violations, corrective actions, and field progress, and keep it where the team can find it.
• Make sure required equipment training happens and is documented, and issue training cards as needed.
• Keep up with new electrical practices, data center requirements, and construction technology, and share what you learn.

WHAT YOU BRING

What we need

• 10+ years of combined electrical construction and field leadership experience, including at least 5 years leading crews on large commercial projects
• At least one data center project from underground through commissioning (hyperscale preferred)
• A track record of planning people, tools, material, and time to hit tight schedules
• The ability to explain technical issues and risk clearly, whether you’re talking to a client, a project manager, or a crew
• Experience on projects over $70 million
• Mission critical, semiconductor, cleanroom, or other technical project experience beyond data centers
• Comfort with Bluebeam, scheduling tools, and Microsoft Office
• OSHA 30 required
• Ability to get to and move around active job sites (see where and when you’ll work section below)

What we prefer

• An electrical trade background, such as a journeyman or master electrician license or an equivalent path through the trade
• Hyperscale data center experience
• Energy Marshal experience
• Experience leading major electrical scopes in active or highly technical facilities: medium- and low-voltage distribution, generators, UPS systems, switchgear, grounding, temporary power, phasing, shutdowns, energization, and heavy MEP coordination
• Current CPR/First Aid certification

Don’t check every box? Apply anyway. We care more about how you lead, plan, and keep people safe than whether your résumé matches this list word for word.

WHO THRIVES HERE

• You build trust with clients, designers, trade partners, and your own team by doing what you say you’ll do
• You stay calm and clear-headed when the schedule tightens or something goes sideways
• You speak up early about safety and risk, and you make it safe for your crews to do the same
• You sweat the details, because on energization day the details are everything
• You solve problems with your crews, not around them
• You adjust when the plan changes, and on a data center it will
• You get real satisfaction from watching the people you lead grow
• You do the right thing when nobody’s watching

HOW WE WORK AT LEWIS

Lewis has been building since 1886, from our roots in the Pacific Northwest to our work across Arizona, and we’re 100% employee-owned. The people doing the work help make decisions, big and small, and share in the results. Our six core values show up in this job every day:

• Safety: You’ll own some of the highest-risk moments on a data center, including energization, shutdowns, and energy control. Everyone goes home the way they came.
• Quality: Electrical systems installed right, tested right, and turned over ready to run.
• Value: Tight sequencing and early problem-solving protect our clients’ schedules and uptime.
• Profitability: Well-planned work, productive crews, and fewer surprises keep our projects and our company healthy.
• Trust & Respect: You treat every electrician, trade partner, client, and teammate as a professional, and expect the same back.
• Fulfillment: Take pride in what you build, keep learning, and help grow the next generation of field leaders.

We want a workplace where people can be themselves and do their best work as part of a strong team.

WHERE AND WHEN YOU’LL WORK

• Setting: On site every day at active data center and advanced technology projects around Phoenix, with some time at the Phoenix office, client meetings, and industry events.
• Schedule: Full-time. Shutdowns, energizations, and other critical work can fall on nights or weekends, when they’re least disruptive to the client. We give notice whenever we can.
• Heat: Phoenix summers regularly top 110°F. You’ll follow heat safety practices and make sure your crews do too, including water, rest, shade, and watching out for each other.
• On site: You’ll wear the personal protective equipment our safety program requires.
• Getting around: You’ll need reliable transportation between project sites. If you’ll drive a company vehicle or drive for work, a valid driver’s license and a driving record that meets our vehicle policy are required.
• On a job site, you’ll need to: Move through all areas of active construction sites, including uneven ground, stairs, ladders, and work at heights. Inspect installed electrical work and equipment up close. Talk with crews in meetings and in noisy field conditions. Frequently lift and move items up to about 25 pounds.

We provide reasonable accommodations so qualified people can do this work. If you’d like an accommodation during the application process or on the job, contact careers@lewisbuilds.com.
