About Owen Electric Company

Owen Electric Company (OEC) is a rapidly growing electrical contractor delivering complex industrial, mission-critical, and hyperscale data center projects across the Southeast. We operate with a field-first culture, disciplined execution, and a deep commitment to Safety, People, and Quality.

As hyperscale data center programs scale in size and complexity, consistent field leadership across buildings, phases, and crews becomes critical. OEC is investing in General Superintendents who bring structure, discipline, and repeatability to field execution.

Position Summary

The General Superintendent is responsible for overseeing field execution across one or more hyperscale data center projects or multi-building programs. This role provides senior field leadership, standardizes execution practices, and ensures alignment between project management, superintendents, and craft labor.

The position plays a key role in driving predictable, high-quality field execution while developing future field leaders within the organization.
