Why This Role

This is a high-impact opportunity to step into a lead electrical safety role at one of the nation's most critical national security laboratories. As the Electrical Safety Officer at LANL's PF-4 facility, you'll serve as the subject matter expert for electrical safety - directly influencing field operations, compliance, and hazard mitigation across construction and facility teams working on mission-critical plutonium infrastructure.

This role is for someone who is equally comfortable in the field and with the code book - an independent critical thinker who can work without being micromanaged, navigate complex compliance requirements, and thrive as part of a high-performing team.

What You'll Do

Serve as the primary subject matter expert and authority for electrical safety across PF-4 operations and construction activities
Administer the Electrical Safety Program and ensure compliance with NFPA 70, NFPA 70E, IEEE, OSHA, and DOE standards
Conduct field inspections to identify and mitigate electrical hazards in real time
Lead reviews of Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures and Integrated Work Documents (IWDs)
Support construction and facility teams on proper implementation of electrical safe work practices
Conduct incident investigations, root cause analyses, and corrective actions
Develop and improve electrical safety procedures, policies, and program standards
Provide technical guidance to engineers, planners, and field personnel on electrical safety requirements
Evaluate systems and equipment for electrical safety compliance
Stand for extended periods during field inspections and job site walkthroughs

Schedule Details

You will start on 12-hour day shifts during a training and onboarding period of approximately 6 months. After that, the schedule transitions to a rotating days/nights arrangement. This structure is intentional - the team wants to set you up for success before splitting shifts. Long-term travel support is provided.

What We're Looking For

Required:

S. Citizenship and ability to obtain a DOE Q Clearance
Bachelor's degree + 7 years of electrical field experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience
Advanced knowledge of electrical safety standards- NFPA 70, NFPA 70E, IEEE, and OSHA (NFPA 70E is the core requirement)
Hands-on field experience - this role requires someone who can work in the field, not just behind a desk
Experience with low voltage AC and DC systems in commercial, industrial, or DOE environments
Strong ability to communicate complex technical information clearly to diverse audiences
Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook)
Ability to stand for extended periods and perform field walkthroughs
100% onsite availability - no hybrid or remote

Preferred:

DOE, NNSA, or nuclear facility experience
Licensed electrician (Inside Wireman, Journeyman, or similar)
Experience supporting construction or facility operations in regulated environments
Familiarity with Integrated Work Documents (IWDs) and LOTO procedures in a nuclear or DOE setting
Demonstrated ability to work independently and exercise sound technical judgment without close supervision

Pay Rate: $85–$95/hr depending on experience

Per Diem: Available for qualifying candidates

Relocation: Available for qualifying candidates

Duration: 1-year contract with extension and conversion potential
