Job description

What you'll do

Before a data center can go live, every test result, every deficiency, and every sign-off has to be tracked, documented, and accounted for - and that record has to be airtight. As a Cx Assistant at Giga, you're the person making sure nothing falls through the cracks. You'll support the Commissioning Manager and Site Leads with documentation, scheduling, and test coordination, learning the commissioning process from the ground up on some of the most complex buildings being constructed today. This is a great entry point into commissioning for someone detail-obsessed who wants to build toward a Site Lead or Cx Lead career path.

Requirements

• 0-2 years of experience in commissioning, construction, or a related technical field; internship or field experience on mission-critical or industrial construction projects a plus
