We are seeking a highly experienced DLC Mechanical Commissioning Lead Engineer to lead the commissioning and deployment of liquid cooling infrastructure across Norway. This role is ideal for someone who combines deep technical expertise with strong leadership and thrives in fast-paced, evolving AI environments.

This is more than a commissioning role. You will serve as the onsite technical authority, leading mechanical commissioning activities from design review through customer handover while helping establish and continuously improve the standards, processes, and methodologies that will support the growth of our global DLC business.

You will:

• Lead and coordinate internal deployment teams, service delivery engineers, contractors, OEM staff, and customer team to successfully execute mechanical commissioning activities. Own the mechanical commissioning lifecycle from planning and readiness reviews through Level 2 to Level 5 commissioning and final customer handover.
• Serve as the primary onsite technical authority for all mechanical commissioning activities and technical escalations. Participate in design reviews, constructability reviews, and commissioning readiness assessments to identify risks and ensure successful execution.
• Review mechanical drawings, P&IDs, control philosophies, and sequences of operation to verify commissioning readiness and alignment with design intent. Lead safe execution of commissioning activities in compliance with site EHS requirements, RAMS, and risk assessments.
• Verify that installed systems meet operational, performance, reliability, and customer acceptance requirements. Lead root cause investigations and technical troubleshooting activities during commissioning, performance validation, and defect resolution.
• Support onboarding, coaching, and technical development of commissioning engineers and deployment partners. Deliver onsite training and knowledge transfer to customers, partners, and internal teams.

Every Dell Technologies team member brings something unique to the table. Here’s what we are looking for with this role:

ential Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in mechanical engineering or related engineering discipline, or equivalent combination of education and industry experience.
• 10+ years of experience in commissioning, deployment, operations, or engineering within mission-critical environments such as: Datacentres, industrial process cooling, power generation, oil & gas
• Strong understanding of heat transfer principles, fluid dynamics, pumping systems, material compatibility and corrosion control
• Technical report writing, troubleshooting and analytical capabilities.

Desirable Requirements

• Experience commissioning DLC infrastructure, including CDUs, secondary fluid networks, rear-doors, and air containment.
• Experience using commissioning management platforms such as CxAlloy, or equivalent tools.
• Familiarity with industry standards and best practices such as ASHRAE, OCP and Nvidia Guidelines
• Experience with Factory Acceptance Testing, Site Acceptance Testing, Integrated Systems Testing, and Level 2-5 commissioning methodologies.
• Knowledge of control systems, PLCs, BMS integrations, and datacenter infrastructure monitoring platforms.
