Job description

Commissioning Manager (Data Centres)

I am currently partnering with a Global Hyperscale Developer that is leading the charge in Malaysia. We are looking for a heavy hitting Commissioning Manager (CxM) to own the commissioning lifecycle for some of the most sophisticated facilities in the region.

This isn't a "sit behind a desk" role. You’ll be the bridge between design, construction, and operations, ensuring high-performance infrastructure is flawless before it ever goes live.

The Mission

• Lead the commissioning (Cx) process from equipment start-up through to final handover.
• Direct CxA consultants and vendors, ensuring global standards are met on the ground in JB.
• Review and approve L4 and L5 test scripts you know what "good" looks like and won't settle for less.
• Coordinate with Long Lead Equipment (LLE) vendors to ensure seamless procurement and installation.
• Partner with the Operations team to ensure a flawless "day one" experience for the customer.

Who You Are

• You have a proven track record in Data Centre or Mission Critical commissioning.
• You live for Integrated System Testing (IST). You know exactly what a successful Level 5 looks like and how to get there.
• You can look at a single line drawing or a test script and spot a failure point before it happens.
• You understand the Johor/Malaysia landscape and know how to drive results with local contractors and international consultants.

Why This Role?

My client is building the backbone of the digital economy. They offer a high performance culture, competitive compensation, and the chance to work on some of the largest DC projects in Southeast Asia.
