Per-MW pricing, regional variance, and cost drivers for owners scoping hyperscale & AI builds.
Salary benchmarks across the 14 mission-critical disciplines.
Hire Electrical QA/QC Managers who own the electrical quality program on mission-critical builds — ITP authorship and execution, NETA acceptance-testing oversight, cable and termination inspection, and turnover documentation that clears commissioning without rework. Switchgear-to-rack inspection discipline verified by reference.
A structured process for the electrical quality hire — where inspection discipline between rough-in and energization decides whether commissioning starts on time.
30-minute call. Align on program scope, electrical package size, ITP maturity, third-party testing scope, reporting line (QA/QC director, PX, or owner), and start date.
Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 Electrical QA/QC Managers with sector-matched inspection history. References from QA/QC directors and commissioning managers included, plus verified testing-oversight scope.
Every placement carries a replacement guarantee. If the hire doesn’t stick, we replace them — that’s true across every engagement model we offer.
Every candidate has managed electrical quality through NETA ATS acceptance testing and energization — not just installation inspection. They speak megger, VLF, primary injection, and relay verification with the testing agency, and they know what a clean energization package looks like.
Reference-verified red-line, test-report, and turnover documentation discipline. Their packages clear owner, Cx, and AHJ review without the rework cycles that stall substantial completion.
They know Level 1–5 commissioning and how electrical QA/QC feeds it — walkdowns, punch, issue closure, and hold-point sequencing that keep the Cx schedule whole instead of fighting it.
Duct bank to rack: raceway, cable pull and termination, torque verification, switchgear, UPS, generators, bus duct, and grounding — verified against the sectors you build in.
Reference-verified inspection and test plan authorship, witness and hold-point management, and NCR initiation-to-closure discipline.
Managed third-party acceptance testing scope — NETA ATS, relay settings verification, functional checks — and held the schedule through it.
Procore, BIM 360 / Autodesk Build, Cx Alloy, or equivalent QA/QC and issue-tracking platforms, with clean audit trails.
OSHA 30 standard. NETA, NICET, ICC, CQM-C, or a journeyman/master electrician background weighted to fit the seat.
Hyperscale, semiconductor, healthcare (NFPA 99 essential power), life sciences, or utility-scale power — matched to your compliance regime.
We’ll help scope the role on the call — package size, testing scope, discipline split, reporting line.
Time to shortlist is typically 2 weeks. Total time to placement is typically 3–4 weeks. Travel-heavy hyperscale programs sometimes move faster because our bench of deployable electrical quality talent is deepest there.
Pricing depends on engagement model. Direct-hire search is a success-fee placement. For multi-hire programs, embedded recruiting and RPO price as a monthly volume-based fee plus a success fee — typically well below stacked contingency fees at volume. Leadership and executive searches route through executive search.
Most US markets run $115,000–$155,000 base. Hyperscale data center and semiconductor programs with travel typically run $140,000–$175,000 plus per diem and completion or retention incentives. Owner-side and third-party QA roles tend to sit mid-range with less travel.
An Electrical QA/QC Manager owns one discipline in depth — usually on programs where the electrical package is large enough to justify a dedicated lead. An MEP QA/QC Manager covers both disciplines, typically on mid-size projects or above a discipline-level team. We’ll help you scope which structure fits your package.
Yes. Every placement carries a replacement guarantee, regardless of engagement model. If a placement doesn’t work out inside the guarantee window, we rerun the search and replace them at no additional placement fee.
Yes. Multi-hire quality builds — discipline managers plus inspectors across a campus — route through embedded recruiting or RPO, so you get one accountable recruiting team instead of stacked contingency fees.
30-minute scoping conversation. We’ll review the electrical package, ITP maturity, testing scope, and reporting line — then start sourcing from a verified electrical quality bench.
