Job description

about the role

This is an on-site, full-time role for a Data Center Commissioning Engineer. The Data Center Commissioning Engineer is responsible for overseeing the end-to-end commissioning process of hyperscale data centers. You will conduct thorough inspections, perform rigorous testing and commissioning (T&C) of critical data center infrastructure, troubleshoot complex issues, and provide ongoing technical support. The engineer will manage the entire five-level T&C lifecycle (CX1 through CX5), ensuring all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems are accurately documented, strictly compliant, and operating at peak efficiency.

• Planning & Coordination: Plan, coordinate, and execute M&E commissioning activities, ensuring all tasks are completed safely, on schedule, and in accordance with project requirements.

• Documentation & Review: Review engineering drawings, specifications, method statements, and equipment schedules. Prepare and review commissioning plans, procedures, checklists, test scripts, and final handover documentation.

• System Readiness: Ensure all M&E systems are fully prepared for commissioning, verifying that installation is complete and all pre-commissioning requirements are met.

• Commissioning Execution (CX1 - CX5): Coordinate and execute the full five levels of data center commissioning:

  • CX1 (Factory Acceptance Testing): Review and validate equipment performance at the vendor facility prior to shipment.

  • CX2 (Site Acceptance & Inspection): Verify the correct delivery, installation, and physical condition of components upon site arrival.

  • CX3 (Pre-Functional Testing & Startup): Ensure individual components are energized, configured correctly, and ready for system operations.

  • CX4 (Functional Performance Testing): Execute functional testing of complete systems under various loads and simulated failure scenarios.

  • CX5 (Integrated Systems Testing): Participate in full-facility testing to validate that all electrical and mechanical systems operate seamlessly together under simulated failover conditions.

• Deficiency Management: Identify, track, and coordinate the prompt closure of commissioning deficiencies, punch lists, and outstanding issues.

• Quality & Compliance: Monitor commissioning progress, review test results, and maintain meticulous records. Ensure all activities comply with approved procedures, project specifications, safety requirements (e.g., LOTO), and applicable industry standards.

about the manager/team

• Education: Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline.

• Technical Knowledge: Solid foundational understanding of engineering drawings, mechanical schematics, electrical single-line diagrams, and overall M&E systems.

• Core Skills: Excellent communication, coordination, and analytical problem-solving skills to troubleshoot issues and align diverse project teams.

• Work Style: Proactive, highly responsible, and capable of working effectively as part of a collaborative project team.

• Environment: Willing to be site-based and thrive in a fast-paced, high-profile construction and commissioning environment.

• Experience: Both experienced commissioning professionals and driven fresh graduates with a strong foundational knowledge of MEP systems are encouraged to apply.
