Job description

Overview

Our mission as Construction Quality and Commissioning (QCx) is to design, build, and operate a fact-based quality management system that provides predictable quality and a closed loop learning culture from design through operations for our global data centers. We strive to optimize construction quality and the commissioning process through data-driven decision making, in order to deliver data centers with the highest quality and reliability in the industry.

You will be responsible for developing the commissioning strategy and relevant documentation (i.e., specifications, test plans, checklists, guides) for mechanical or electrical equipment, supporting the APAC region.

In this role, you will utilize an understanding of data center construction standards, quality control and assurance processes, and commissioning procedures to ensure the successful delivery of high-quality, reliable, and efficient data center facilities. You will also support a portfolio of construction projects to ensure the successful implementation of the general construction quality program and reduce cost of poor quality in the construction projects.

• 5 years of experience with managing the end-to-end construction projects, or product lifecycle (e.g., process developments, implementation and improvement)
• 5 years of infrastructure experience in the operation and construction of data center, semiconductor, pharmaceutical, power, nuclear, or other 24x7 mission critical facilities

Preferred qualifications
