What is the Facilities, Infrastructure & Technology (FIT) practice and why join?

Within WWT's Technical Delivery & Engineering organization, FIT is our newest advisory capability, built at the intersection of the physical and digital data center. WWT's independent assurance model rests on two signatures: a licensed engineer certifies the design is sound, and WWT's own commissioning authority certifies the build is proven. This role is that second signature — the certified authority of record who lets WWT tell a client, credibly, that what was designed was built and will perform.

Position Overview

The Lead Advisor, Commissioning & Assurance is WWT's independent Commissioning Authority (CxA) for AI Factory and liquid-cooled deployments. You run the full commissioning sequence — Levels 1 through 5, factory acceptance through integrated systems testing at full load — and serve as the named signatory who confirms a completed build was independently tested, validated, and performs as designed. Independence from equipment sales is core to this role, not incidental to it: it's what makes WWT's sign-off carry weight across any OEM. This role is accountable for:

• Leading commissioning activities across Levels 1–5 for AI Factory and liquid-cooled deployments.
• Independently reviewing the Owner's Project Requirements (OPR) and Basis of Design early in the design phase, to catch issues before they are built into the facility.
• Planning and overseeing load-bank and integrated systems testing, including deliberate failure-scenario testing and proof of recovery under load.

You will be the certified authority of record on WWT's client engagements — the person whose name and judgment stand behind the claim that a build is proven, not just complete.

Key Responsibilities

• Commission liquid-cooling systems and controls integration (BMS, DCIM, EPMS) to confirm telemetry and alarms are proven, not just the physical equipment.
• Maintain independence from equipment sales per commissioning-authority credential requirements; identify and document any potential conflicts of interest.
• Produce a rigorous, auditable commissioning documentation and turnover package — test scripts, results, issues, and resolutions.
• Engage early in the design phase alongside the Principal MEP Advisor, rather than only testing what's already installed.
• Serve as the named, certified authority of record for WWT's independent assurance sign-off on client engagements.
