General Supervising Electrician (Oregon)

About Torus

Torus is headquartered in Utah and is expanding manufacturing at our 545,000-square-foot facility in Salt Lake City called GigaOne. We are the world’s first mesh energy infrastructure, uniting communities through resilient, sustainable, and intelligent power. We design, engineer, manufacture, install, and support our systems end-to-end, standing behind them throughout their lifecycle. Torus systems help reduce costs, lower emissions, and protect facilities from outages, while strengthening the security and reliability of the broader utility grid. Torus is committed to American manufacturing, engineering excellence, and building energy systems that last.

Torus has raised over $267 million from investors like Magnetar, Mercado, ICONIQ and Origin Ventures. The investments are helping to accelerate deployment of modular power plants across utilities, data centers, and industrial sectors. This investor confidence reflects the strength of our team, technology as well as the scale of the problem we are solving. 

At Torus, you will be part of something larger than a single product or technology. Your work will help build energy infrastructure that supports and strengthens our electrical grid, critical  systems, industry, and communities for decades to come. We value accountability, collaboration, and clear thinking. We are looking for people who want to solve hard problems and build things that matter.

About the Role

As the General Supervising Electrician within Overwatch, you will be the foundational cornerstone of Torus’s expansion into the Pacific Northwest. You will take the successful blueprint we have established in Utah and build it from the ground up in Oregon. You will serve as the highest field-level technical authority across Torus's fleet spanning battery (BESS) and flywheel (FESS) installations across multiple regions and jurisdictions. This role is intended for a highly experienced electrical leader who has already spent a decade or more in the field and several years directing multiple crews.

You are the final word on complex technical judgment calls in the field, the person other Journeymen and Leads escalate to when a problem exceeds their authority, and the standard-setter for how Torus performs electrical work safely and correctly across every jurisdiction it operates in. You carry deep, hands-on expertise across commercial, residential, industrial, and utility-scale electrical equipment, and you bring that breadth to bear on rapidly evolving energy storage technology.

Beyond the field, you are a key voice inside Overwatch, shaping how Torus monitors, dispatches, and supports its fleet, and a direct line of feedback into Product, ensuring what gets designed and built reflects what actually works in the field.

Who You Are

You are a seasoned electrical leader who has done the work at every level and is now ready to set the standard for how it's done across an entire fleet. You think in systems not just individual sites and you're comfortable being the final technical authority when something needs to get resolved correctly and quickly. You lead by example, communicate clearly under pressure, and take real ownership of the safety and quality of every job across your regions. You're motivated by building something durable: standards, people, and processes that outlast any single site or shift.

Responsibilities

• Serve as fleet-wide technical authority, providing final-level diagnostic and remediation judgment on the most complex BESS and FESS escalations across the Oregon region
• Define and maintain regional electrical standards, field procedures, and safety protocols, ensuring consistency across all Torus service territories

• Lead, mentor, and develop Lead Journeymen and Journeyman Electricians, building technical depth and leadership capability across the field organization
• Directly manage and coordinate multiple field teams across regions, balancing workload, technical coverage, and on-call/rapid-response readiness
• Partner with Torus Overwatch Command (TOC) as a senior escalation point for critical site issues, root cause investigations, and complex shutdowns
• Act as a key contributor to Overwatch process development, providing field-informed feedback that shapes monitoring, dispatch, and service protocols
• Serve as a direct technical feedback channel into Product, surfacing field failure modes, design gaps, and improvement opportunities from real-world deployments
• Review and approve complex system upgrades, de-energization/shutdown plans, and non-standard troubleshooting approaches before execution
• Ensure all field work meets code and regulatory standards (NEC, NFPA 70E, and applicable state/AHJ requirements)
• Support and participate in a rotating on-call structure for the most critical, high-complexity escalations
• Other duties and projects as assigned.

Required Experience

• 10+ years of hands-on field electrical experience, with 5–10+ years operating at a senior/lead technical level
• 5+ years of experience managing or directing multiple field teams simultaneously, across sites or regions
• Statewide familiarity and hands-on experience working with Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs), including permitting, inspections, and code interpretation across multiple municipalities
• Broad, direct experience with commercial, residential, industrial, and utility-scale electrical equipment
• Deep, demonstrated expertise in energy storage systems (BESS/FESS), including system integration, interconnection, and advanced troubleshooting
• Single and three phase experience required working on 120/240 systems to 277/480 systems
• Deep knowledge of AC/DC systems, grounding, fault current mitigation, and arc flash safety
• Ability to interpret and validate complex electrical drawings, site schematics, and permitting packages across jurisdictions
• Proven track record mentoring and developing Lead Journeymen and Journeyman-level electricians
• Strong track record building or scaling operational processes, training programs, or field infrastructure
• Clear, confident communication skills, including regular coordination with internal leadership, Overwatch, Product, and external stakeholders (customers, AHJs, utilities)

Preferred Experience

• General Contractor licensed in the state of Oregon highly preferred.
• Certifications in safety standards (e.g., OSHA 30, NFPA 70E) and renewable systems (e.g., NABCEP)
• Prior experience helping to scale or lead field service teams in energy or critical infrastructure sectors
• Hands-on experience with PLCs, diagnostics, and control system integration
• Exposure to remote operations tools, fleet coordination software, or field mobility platforms
