About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead pre-commissioning through Level 5 commissioning for HV, MV, and LV electrical systems, including generators, generator paralleling switchgear, transformers, UPS and battery systems, switchgear, ATS/STS, PDUs, busways, RPPs, grounding, and lighting control, across multiple sites.
Review and develop the Testing & Verification program with commissioning agents and engineers, confirming every electrical system meets design and operational intent before it goes live.
Act as the owner's commissioning lead for electrical scope, coordinating general contractors, designers, and vendors across concurrent projects and resolving conflicts before they hit the schedule.
Run site commissioning end to end: inspections, safety enforcement, progress tracking, and issue resolution from first energization through functional testing.
Lead the final operational handover, ensuring every electrical system, its test record, and its documentation is ready for live service.

Requirements

What you’ll need

You've personally commissioned HV, MV, and LV electrical systems, generators, switchgear, transformers, UPS, ATS/STS, PDUs, busways, and grounding, at hyperscale or mission-critical data centers.
You've run commissioning phases end to end, from factory witness testing and pre-functional checks through integrated systems testing.
You've diagnosed and resolved issues during startup under time pressure, and you can trace a fault through a control scheme without waiting for someone else to find it.
You've coordinated general contractors, designers, and vendors across multiple live projects at once without losing track of open items.
Test results, punch lists, and commissioning reports are something you maintain as you go, not something you reconstruct after the fact.
You write clearly enough that a test report or handover package reads as decision-ready, not just data.
Bonus: ASHRAE or BCxA commissioning guidelines. NETA test specifications. PLC and EPMS control systems, automatic and semi-automatic switching schemes. Mechanical systems commissioning exposure.
