Electrical Superintendent

The Electrical Superintendent will lead and oversee all electrical installations, power distribution, and maintenance activities supporting TBM operations and tunnel construction for the Second Avenue Subway Phase 2 project. This role is responsible for ensuring safe, reliable, code-compliant electrical systems across the tunnel works, including temporary power networks, substations/switchgear, shafts, ventilation systems, dewatering/pumping controls, and site facilities. The Electrical Superintendent is critical to maintaining continuous TBM operations and minimizing downtime in a demanding underground environment. The Electrical Superintendents key responsibilities are: * Supervise electrical installations and operations for high- and low-voltage systems across tunnel works, shafts, and site facilities. * Manage power distribution to support TBM operation (main drives, auxiliary systems, backup power, and controls), ensuring uninterrupted supply for critical activities. * Lead temporary power planning and execution, including load calculations, distribution layouts, and safe routing as tunnel advance progresses. * Coordinate with TBM OEM/manufacturer teams to integrate electrical systems, support troubleshooting, and ensure compliance with TBM technical requirements. * Oversee electrical maintenance and reliability programs for all tunnel electrical infrastructure, including preventative maintenance and rapid response to failures. * Provide hands-on commissioning support during installation, testing, energization, and turnover of electrical systemsdriving quick resolution of faults to reduce downtime. * Supervise and coordinate electrical crews and subcontractors, ensuring productivity, quality workmanship, and compliance with project standards and schedules. * Ensure compliance with NEC, NYC Electrical Code, and project specifications, including inspection readiness, documentation, and coordination with QA/QC. * Implement and enforce safety procedures including LOTO, grounding/bonding, arc flash awareness, energized work controls, and underground-specific hazards. * Interface with utility providers and project stakeholders for service coordination, outages, tie-ins, and regulatory requirements. * Collaborate with tunneling, mechanical, and construction teams to align electrical sequencing with TBM advance plans, ventilation, pumping, hoisting, and overall construction activities. * Monitor energy usage and optimize efficiency where feasible across temporary and permanent systems. EDUCATION AND QUALIFICATIONS * Electrical Engineering degree or equivalent technical education/experience in electrical construction and supervision. * 810+ years of progressive experience as an Electrical Superintendent/Supervisor on major infrastructure projects; tunneling/underground experience strongly preferred. * Demonstrated experience managing complex electrical distribution and maintenance programs in demanding construction environments. * Strong knowledge of NEC and applicable NYC electrical codes, plus electrical safety standards and best practices. * Proven ability to lead field teams, coordinate subcontractors, and manage multiple work fronts under schedule pressure. * Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and problem-solving skills; comfortable making decisions in time-sensitive situations. * Excellent communication skills; able to work effectively with field leadership, engineers, OEM reps, and client stakeholders. WORK ENVIRONMENT * Field-based role supporting active tunnel construction and TBM operations; may require rotating shifts, nights, weekends, and holidays based on project needs. * Exposure to confined spaces, limited lighting, noise, vibration, dust, water ingress, and variable temperatures. * Ability to stand, walk, climb ladders/scaffolds; navigate uneven terrain; and work around heavy equipment for extended periods. * Consistent use of PPE (hard hat
