BESS / QAQC Inspector at OVERWATCH in Amarillo, TX

About Overwatch Mission Critical

Overwatch is a service-disabled Veteran-owned small business (SDVOB) certified through the national veterans business development council (NVBDC), offering construction professional services, talent acquisition, and general contractor for the mission-critical infrastructure industry. Our mission is the construction and management of state-of-the-art data centers with the precision and reliability this industry demands. From high-end engineers to seasoned professionals, we deploy the people you need to get your data center off the ground. At Overwatch, it's more than a job. It's purpose.

Core Responsibilities

• Hyperscale Quality Inspections: Conduct comprehensive inspections of electrical infrastructure (Substations, Switchgear, UPS, and Generators) to ensure 100% compliance with blueprints, hyperscale specifications, and NEC standards.
• BESS & Energy Storage Oversight: Lead the QA/QC process for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). This includes verifying the installation of battery modules, thermal management systems, and the integration of Battery Management Systems (BMS) with the overall building management network.
• Defect Management: Identify, document, and track electrical non-conformances. Collaborate with subcontractors and vendors to ensure corrective actions are completed without impacting the project schedule.
• Safety & LOTO: Practice Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) protocols during the transition from construction to energized states. Ensure all work adheres to NFPA 70E and site-specific safety requirements.
• Digital Documentation: Maintain precise, real-time records of all inspections and tests using tablet-based project management software (e.g., Procore, BIM 360, or CxAlloy).

Qualifications

• Licensure: Active Electrical State License (Journeyman or Master) required.
• Experience: 3–5 years in large-scale industrial or commercial construction. Prior experience on a hyperscale or mission-critical site is strongly preferred.
• BESS Knowledge: Proven understanding of stationary energy storage systems, including battery safety, inverter functionality, and interconnections.

The Ideal Candidate

• Precision-Minded: You understand that in a hyperscale environment, a 1% margin of error is too high.
• Safety-First: You have a deep commitment to electrical safety and the rigor required for high-voltage environments.
• Tech-Savy: You are comfortable using digital tools to track thousands of assets and testing points.

Preferred Certifications

• NFPA 70E (Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace)
• State Journeyman License
• Familiarity with NFPA 855 (Standard for the Installation of Stationary Energy Storage Systems)

Driver’s License Requirement

For roles that require on-site presence or travel between work locations as an essential function of the position, candidates must possess and maintain a valid driver’s license appropriate for the role and be eligible to operate a motor vehicle in accordance with applicable laws.

Communication Skills

Demonstrated ability to communicate effectively in a professional work environment, including preparing written reports and documentation, conveying information clearly to team members, clients, and stakeholders, and responding appropriately to verbal and written communications related to job duties.

Physical Requirements and Work Environment

This position operates primarily in an active data center construction environment, encompassing both indoor and outdoor work settings. The role requires the physical ability to perform essential job functions safely and effectively in a dynamic environment that includes ongoing construction activity and evolving site conditions.

The work environment includes areas and temporary structures owned, leased, or controlled by third parties over which Overwatch may have limited or no control. Because the project remains under construction, certain areas of the site — including access routes, staging zones, and temporary structures — may not yet be fully ADA-compliant until construction is complete or those third-party areas are finalized.

Physical Requirements

• Must be able to walk, stand, stoop, twist, bend, and climb stairs or ladders for extended periods while navigating uneven, unpaved, or obstructed terrain.
• Must be able to lift, carry, push, or pull up to 50 pounds on an occasional basis.
• Must be able to drive between job sites and access all areas of an active construction zone, including raised platforms, scaffolding, and confined spaces.
• Must be able to tolerate exposure to outdoor weather conditions, dust, and construction-related noise, vibrations, and odors.
• Must be able to communicate effectively with contractors, engineers, and site personnel, and maintain situational awareness in high-activity environments.
• Personal protective equipment (PPE), including hard hats, safety vests, hearing protection, and steel-toe boots, is required.
• Must have sufficient visual acuity to read drawings, specifications, and safety signage, and to observe site activity.

Work Environment

Work is performed primarily in and around active construction areas, which may include unfinished buildings, temporary field offices, staging areas, and partially completed infrastructure. These locations may contain uneven surfaces, limited accessibility, and other conditions typical of construction projects prior to final completion. Overwatch does not control and cannot modify accessibility conditions within areas, facilities, or temporary structures owned or managed by third parties.

Reasonable Accommodation

Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable qualified individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of this position, provided such accommodations do not create safety hazards, impede essential mobility within active work zones, or require modification of facilities not owned or controlled by Overwatch.

Benefits

We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, including health insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, 401(k) plan, and paid time off. Relocation assistance is available to support candidates transitioning to the location.

OVERWATCH is committed to creating a diverse work environment and is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. OVERWATCH considers candidates regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability or veteran status.
