About the role

Role Scope

  • Lead HV, MV, and overall electrical commissioning across all five commissioning phases on multiple concurrent data center sites.
  • Act as the owner's electrical commissioning authority for general contractors, designers, and vendors.
  • Own the testing and verification program: develop and review it, then drive execution across generators, switchgear, UPS, transformers, ATS/STS, PDUs, and EPMS until every system meets design intent.
  • Run on-site inspections, enforce safety, track progress, and resolve issues in the field.
  • Lead the final operational handover for electrical, signing off that systems are ready for service.

Requirements

  • Personally led HV/MV electrical commissioning on mission-critical data center projects through energization and owner acceptance.
  • Commission the full electrical stack hands-on: generators, paralleling switchgear, UPS, battery systems, switchgear, EPMS, ATS/STS, PDUs, grounding.
  • Diagnose and resolve startup failures in live environments.
  • Assess and test at a high technical level without supervision.
  • Hold contractors and vendors to the testing standard and document rigorously enough that the records survive an audit.

Nice-to-Haves

  • ASHRAE or BCxA commissioning guidelines.
  • NETA test specifications.
  • Controls and mechanical systems familiarity.
  • Electrical engineering background.
