Job description

Are you Ready to Build the Future of AI Infrastructure?

If you’re energized by massive scale, deep technical complexity, and the opportunity to shape the next era of compute, this is your moment. Join a team where groundbreaking work meets competitive compensation, meaningful impact, and a chance to accelerate your career at the forefront of AI innovation. We want to meet you.

Why IREN?

IREN is a vertically integrated AI Cloud provider, delivering large-scale data centers and GPU clusters for AI training and inference. IREN’s platform is underpinned by its expansive portfolio of grid-connected land and power in renewable-rich regions across North America, Europe and APAC.

With 100% renewable energy, we build, own and operate our data centers and take pride in being at the forefront of sustainable solutions for the ever-evolving applications of high-performance compute. We believe that human progress is invaluable, but it should be done in the right way: responsibly, sustainably and having a positive impact on the communities we operate in.

This position is based on-site in Canal Flats, BC, supporting the construction of a 30 MW liquid-cooled AI data center campus. It is a camp-based role working a 14 days on / 7 days off (14&7) rotation in support of the project's 24-hour, two-crew (A/B) construction schedule. Camp accommodations, meals, and site transportation are provided during on-rotation periods.

The Role

The General Foreman – Electrical is the Superintendent's eyes and ears on the electrical scope. Working under the direction of the Superintendent, you provide day-to-day oversight of the contractors executing medium- and low-voltage distribution, critical power, grounding, controls, and cooling-related electrical infrastructure on IREN's 30 MW data center project in Canal Flats, verifying that work is performed safely, in the right sequence, to the approved drawings and specifications, and in line with the project quality process. This is a mission-critical build: you hold contractors to a zero-defect standard, escalate issues early, and spend the majority of every shift in the field as the primary daily point of contact for contractor foremen and site supervision.

What You'll Do

  • Daily Contractor Oversight: Conduct daily walkdowns of all active work areas to confirm crews are working to the current plan, drawings, and specifications; verify contractor manpower, equipment, test equipment, and material readiness against the three-week look-ahead and report shortfalls to the Superintendent.
  • Coordination: Coordinate electrical work fronts, access, laydown, and equipment set (switchgear, transformers, UPS, PDUs, busway) with other trades to avoid conflicts and trade stacking.
  • Permits & Controls: Confirm that permits, hazard assessments, lockout/tagout, arc-flash controls, and energized-work authorizations are in place before electrical work proceeds.
  • Quality Process Oversight: Enforce the project Quality Management Plan and discipline Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs) in the field, including hold points, witness points, and required sign-offs. Perform first-hand verification of installations covering: MV/LV power distribution, switchgear, transformers, UPS, PDUs, and busway; cable tray, conduit, cable pulling, terminations, splicing, and labelling; grounding and bonding including ground grid, equipment bonding, and lightning protection; controls, monitoring, BMS/EPMS, and communications infrastructure; electrical infrastructure supporting liquid cooling (pumps, heat exchangers, CDUs, VFDs).
  • Testing & Inspections: Witness and verify contractor testing including insulation resistance (megger), continuity, torque verification, cable hi-pot, ground resistance, and point-to-point checks; coordinate Technical Safety BC inspections, NETA third-party testing, and engineer field reviews; confirm records are complete before work is covered or turned over. Support pre-functional testing, energization, commissioning, and IST by confirming installation completeness ahead of each milestone.
  • Non-Conformance: Identify, document, and track non-conformances and deficiencies; drive contractors to timely, verified closure and confirm rework meets specification; support the Engineers of Record in obtaining the field-review evidence required for BC Building Code letters of assurance.
  • Contractor Supervision Interface: Act as IREN's primary daily field contact for contractor general foremen, foremen, and site supervisors; lead daily plan-of-day meetings; resolve field issues promptly and escalate schedule, quality, or safety concerns with recommended solutions; hold contractors to housekeeping and site-logistics standards appropriate to a mission-critical facility.
  • Safety Leadership: Model and enforce IREN's safety culture and WorkSafeBC OHS Regulation requirements across all contractor crews; lead toolbox talks and field-level hazard assessments; stop work where conditions present an unacceptable risk.
  • Documentation & Reporting: Maintain daily field logs, photo records, progress notes, and deficiency tracking; support the Superintendent with RFI follow-up, field changes, and as-built markups; contribute to weekly progress and quality reporting.

What You Bring

  • 10+ years of hands-on industrial electrical construction experience (data centers, power generation, substations, oil and gas, mining, pulp and paper, or heavy industrial), including 3+ years as a foreman, general foreman, or equivalent supervising electrical contractor crews.
  • Strong working knowledge of MV/LV distribution, critical power (UPS, generators, PDUs), grounding, and controls installation; able to read single-line diagrams, schematics, cable schedules, and specifications.
  • Familiarity with the Canadian Electrical Code (CSA C22.1), CSA Z462, BC Building Code, and WorkSafeBC OHS Regulation as they apply to field execution. A Red Seal or provincial electrical ticket is an asset; equivalent industrial field experience will be considered.
  • Demonstrated experience enforcing quality programs, ITPs, and inspection hold points on industrial projects.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to deal firmly and professionally with contractor supervision.
  • Proficiency with common construction software (Procore or similar), Microsoft Office, and mobile field-inspection tools.
  • Valid driver's licence and legal eligibility to work in Canada.
  • Ability to work on-site in Canal Flats, BC on a 14&7 camp rotation, including night shift coverage as the project ramps; camp/remote-site experience an asset.

Preferred Experience

  • Prior experience on mission-critical or data center electrical construction.
  • Exposure to liquid-cooled data center infrastructure and its electrical interfaces.
  • Experience with energization, commissioning, and Integrated Systems Testing of critical power systems; familiarity with NETA standards and Technical Safety BC processes.
  • Gold Seal Certification, CSTS-2020 or BCCSA safety training, and standard first aid.
  • Experience working on remote industrial sites in British Columbia or similar environments.

Job benefits

  • Work with state-of-the-art AI hardware and some of the most advanced compute systems in the world
  • Be part of a team that values innovation, autonomy, and continuous learning
  • Make a measurable impact on the performance and reliability of global AI workloads
