Job description

Role Overview

This position is based at a data center project site in Hong Kong, responsible for transformer pre-energization support, on-site testing assistance, and post-operation maintenance inspections. The candidate will work closely with the General Contractor, Commissioning Agent, and the client's operations team to ensure equipment is safely and reliably commissioned.

Service Client: This position will be assigned to support a leading data center operator in Southeast Asia, participating in the commissioning and maintenance of its large-scale data center project in Hong Kong.

Key Responsibilities

• 1. Pre-Energization Support

  Assist in completing pre-energization inspections for transformers. Verify that equipment installation, wiring, component integrity, and protection device status meet the conditions for energization, and document/report findings accordingly.

  Support the General Contractor and Commissioning Agent during equipment testing and commissioning, including TOI (Turnover Inspection) and CX (Commissioning) phases. Assist with on-site testing and data recording for transformer-related test items. In the event of abnormalities during energization or testing, report promptly, assist in troubleshooting, and support issue resolution. Complete post-energization equipment status inspections and parameter verification.
