Overview

We have a requirement for an Energy Marshall for a large construction site.

Responsibilities

• Act as an assurance role that helps ensure vendors’ and contractors’ energy isolation programme meets or exceeds our safety policy requirements.
• Utilize international best practice as the baseline and foundation of the energy isolation programme that is implemented throughout the campus and project.
• Establish and manage an energy isolation assurance process and work with site teams to close any gaps identified in assurance audits.
• Participate in high risk activity (HRA) planning meetings associated with energy isolation.
• Ensure approval process for proposed energy isolation procedures is in place.
• Work with the authorizing energy marshal to establish an energy isolation permit process.
• Ensures SOWs, MOPs, and scripts are reviewed, and all sources of energy are identified.
• Help determine if a group or individual LOTO will be required. Establish with the authorizing energy marshal a centralized LOTO with all site entities.
• Ensure process is established that verifies qualifications, training, and PPE of personnel performing the work.
• Energy isolation program plan: Commencement of energy isolation activities with updates throughout the project.
• Communicates and provides guidance on energy isolation program documents.
• Confirms authorizing and performing roles are in place.
• Establishes acceptance criteria for authorizing authority’s site energy isolation plan.
• Energy isolation assurance: Audits and findings to include inspections, issues, deficiencies, and best practices within energy isolation program.
• Report highlighting activities and general status of energy isolation program.
• Delegate alternates that are qualified to assume role during multi-shift and peak energization time frames.
• Liaise operations where energy isolation activities may potentially impact data center core operations.
• Act in coordination with the authorizing energy marshal as a subject matter expert in all energy isolation incident investigations in area of responsibility.
• Serve as an independent authority for stopping all unsafe work practices regarding energy isolation.

Qualifications

• Experience in construction and commissioning standards and practices.
• Proven ability to interact with teams and implement improvements.
• Construction Controlling Energy Marshal.
• Ability to effectively communicate complex technical solutions and concepts to engineers and non-engineers.
• Ability to audit site practices against written standards as part of assurance role.
• Strong ability to interpret line drawings and system redundancies to ensure design of LOTO systems is 100% effective and in compliance with Microsoft standards.
• Familiar with multiple sources of energy in data center construction with emphasis on electrical.
• College/university/professional degree in Electrical, Industrial, Process Engineering, or related work.
• Experience in the Control of Hazardous Energy in complex mission critical infrastructure.
• Strong experience with the operation and maintenance of building MEP systems. (Power distribution, lighting, grounding, fire alarm, security, life safety, and controls systems).
• Established understanding of electrical theory and practical application via your maintenance & operation of critical electrical equipment. (Paralleling switchgear, redundant UPS systems, DC battery strings, multi-source electrical utility switchgear, standby diesel generators, etc.).
• Knowledge of construction techniques, terminology, and documentation.
• Practical experience with building management systems and automation, controls & frameworks.
