Electrical Installation Leader Power Distribution & Infrastructure, OMHS

Application deadline: Sep 12, 2026

Amazon is seeking an Electrical Installation Lead – Power Distribution & Infrastructure to drive the successful installation of electrical power systems for automation and material handling equipment across multiple greenfield and brownfield fulfillment center sites. This role provides field-based electrical installation leadership focused specifically on heavy wire pulls, power distribution infrastructure, conduit and raceway systems, control panel placement, and high-voltage terminations in complex industrial environments.

The Electrical Installation Lead – Power Distribution will directly manage installation crews responsible for all electrical infrastructure that feeds power to MHE systems. This includes conduit installation from Main Distribution Panels (MDPs) to sub-panels and equipment, cable tray routing, heavy wire pulling (480V 3-phase), control panel placement, disconnect installation, junction box and pull box placement, grounding systems, and wire terminations. You will ensure all power distribution work is executed safely, in compliance with NEC/NFPA codes, and to Amazon's quality and schedule standards.

This role reports to the Site Deployment Manager and works in close coordination with the Low Voltage Devices & Controls lead — your team must complete power infrastructure in each zone before device installation crews can mobilize. This sequencing makes schedule discipline and quality critical to overall project success.


Key job responsibilities
Power Distribution Installation Execution
Support electrical installation crews performing power distribution work for MHE systems across North American facilities.
Coordinate daily conduit and raceway installation from Main Distribution Panels (MDPs) to subpanels, disconnects, and equipment locations.
Support wire-pulling activities, including 480V three-phase power feeders, while verifying cable identification, routing, and installation requirements.
Coordinate control-panel placement and mounting according to engineering drawings and designated locations.
Verify the installation of cable trays, junction boxes, pull boxes, wireways, disconnects, motor starters, overloads, and related components.
Inspect grounding and bonding connections for compliance with project requirements.
Verify wire terminations, torque values, lugging, and labeling at connection points.
Monitor cable management, including bundling, supports, strain relief, and routing.
Identify installation issues and escalate technical or resource concerns to site leadership.
Drawing Interpretation and Field Execution
Read and apply electrical drawings, including one-line diagrams, panel schedules, conduit schedules, cable schedules, and installation details.
Compare field installations against engineering drawings and document discrepancies.
Raise drawing questions and field conflicts to engineering and site leadership for resolution.
Maintain field documentation, including redlines, punch lists, installation progress, and turnover records.
Coordinate daily activities with mechanical installation teams involving shared routing, penetrations, access, and structural supports.
Confirm that approved field changes are accurately captured in project documentation.
Quality, Safety, and Compliance
Verify electrical power-distribution work is performed according to NEC/NFPA requirements, project specifications, and Amazon standards.
Conduct field quality inspections of conduit, wire pulls, terminations, panel connections, labeling, and grounding systems.
Check conduit fill, bend radius, support spacing, and installation workmanship.
Identify electrical punch-list items and coordinate their completion with assigned contractors or installation crews.
Track safety, schedule, quality, and installation progress within assigned work areas.
Follow and reinforce lockout/tagout procedures and electrical-safety requirements.
Stop work and escalate unsafe conditions or installations that do not meet requirements.
Coordination and Communication
Coordinate daily electrical activities with mechanical teams, controls engineering, construction, vendors, and operations stakeholders.
Support zone-handoff sequencing with the Low Voltage Devices and Controls Lead by confirming power infrastructure readiness.
Track installation progress, risks, blockers, and quality issues within assigned zones.
Escalate issues requiring engineering decisions, additional resources, or leadership support.
Participate in technical reviews, installation-readiness meetings, daily coordination meetings, and punch walks.
Work with electrical contractors, OEMs, vendors, and internal project partners to resolve routine field issues.
Provide installation-progress updates during daily business reviews.
Support updates to electrical installation standards, field checklists, lessons learned, and deployment processes.

A day in the life
Your day starts at the site coordination meeting where you review which zones have completed mechanical steel installation and are ready for electrical infrastructure mobilization. You walk the floor with your conduit crew — verifying raceway runs from MDPs to sub-panels against engineering drawings, checking conduit supports and fill ratios, and confirming proper routing around obstructions. You oversee wire pulling operations in active zones, ensuring proper cable sizing, bend radius compliance, and pull tension limits are respected. Mid-morning you inspect control panel placements, verifying mounting locations match drawings, checking clearance requirements, and confirming grounding connections. You validate junction box and disconnect installations, review wire terminations for proper torque values and labeling, and address any field conflicts that require engineering clarification. By afternoon, you're tracking installation progress against the schedule, coordinating with the device installation lead on upcoming zone handoffs, and documenting redlines for as-built updates. You close out at the daily business review with progress updates and flag any material or access risks for the next day.

About the team
OneMHS (One Material Handling Systems) is Amazon's in-house program for designing, procuring, and installing material handling equipment across its fulfillment network. Rather than relying solely on external integrators, OneMHS brings the full lifecycle of MHE deployment under Amazon's direct control — from final engineering and equipment procurement through mechanical and electrical installation, controls integration, and commissioning. The program supports both greenfield builds and brownfield retrofits, deploying conveyor systems, sorters, induction systems, and robotic work cells at scale. OneMHS enables Amazon to deliver faster, more cost-effective installations while maintaining higher quality and safety standards.

This team is able to hire in location in the USA.
