Specialist Facilities, Electrical

<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The Facilities Electrician, Specialist is the senior electrical authority for the Gateway to Space (GTS) facility. Guided by our values, “Safety Above All”, we proactively manage the risks inherent in human spaceflight through our daily actions. This role goes beyond routine maintenance to own the reliability, safety, and code compliance of GTS's electrical systems and infrastructure - including power distribution, life-safety and fire-alarm circuits, standby/backup power, and building electrical controls. The Specialist serves as the escalation point for complex electrical diagnostics, mentors Facilities Technicians and Electricians, and partners with the Site Facilities Manger on vendor management and higher-risk electrical work. Support the company strategy by holding ourselves and one another accountable for getting the work done.</span></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Responsibilities</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Advanced Electrical Systems Ownership</strong></span></p><ul><li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Own the performance, reliability, and code compliance of complex electrical systems: power distribution panels, transformers, circuit breakers, and standby/backup power equipment.</span></li><li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Diagnose and resolve complex electrical failures (distribution, controls integration, high-voltage components) without routine escalation;
