This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Commissioning Senior Project Manager based in the United States.

This is a high-impact leadership role focused on delivering full life‑cycle commissioning for complex, mission‑critical facilities, including advanced data centers and high‑performance infrastructure. The position combines deep technical expertise with program management, requiring oversight of multi‑disciplinary teams and coordination across owners, designers, contractors, and vendors. You will play a key role in ensuring systems are designed, installed, tested, and optimized to meet stringent performance and reliability standards. Operating in fast‑paced, high‑complexity environments, you will guide commissioning strategy from pre‑construction through final turnover. The role blends hands‑on technical validation with strategic project leadership, financial oversight, and stakeholder management. It is ideal for a self‑directed professional who thrives in remote collaboration while also engaging in significant on‑site commissioning activities.

Accountabilities

In this role, you will lead end‑to‑end commissioning execution for complex projects, ensuring alignment with scope, schedule, quality, and client expectations while driving operational excellence across all phases.

• Manage full commissioning lifecycle activities including kickoff, scheduling, RFIs, submittals, design reviews, functional testing, and project closeout, ensuring compliance with technical and contractual requirements.
• Develop and maintain commissioning plans, test procedures, and detailed schedules while coordinating resources, staffing needs, and cross‑functional project execution.
• Oversee QA/QC processes, validate system performance, and ensure successful startup, cutover, and testing of mechanical and electrical systems.
• Monitor project financials including budgets, margins, forecasting, and change orders, ensuring profitability and cost control throughout execution.
• Lead client and stakeholder engagement, including meetings, reporting, presentations, and relationship management to ensure satisfaction and long‑term partnership growth.
• Support on‑site commissioning activities such as system validation, troubleshooting, vendor coordination, and performance verification in mission‑critical environments.
• Contribute to continuous improvement by supporting policy development, process optimization, and best practice implementation across commissioning programs.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, construction, or related field, or equivalent hands‑on technical experience in mechanical, electrical, controls, or critical infrastructure systems.
• 8+ years of relevant experience in installation, testing, validation, and troubleshooting of mission‑critical or large‑scale building systems, with prior commissioning or project management responsibility.
• Strong knowledge of commissioning processes, construction methodologies, MEP systems, and industry standards for high‑performance facilities.
• Proven ability to manage complex projects, coordinate multiple stakeholders, and deliver results under pressure in fast‑paced environments.
• Excellent communication and leadership skills with the ability to translate technical issues into clear updates for clients and internal teams.
• Proficiency in MS Office tools and strong capability in documentation, reporting, scheduling, and data organization.
• Highly organized, detail‑oriented, and capable of working independently in a remote environment while managing multiple concurrent priorities.

Benefits

• Competitive annual salary range: $133,000 - $163,000 USD, based on experience and location
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance, including coverage for dependents
• 401(k) plan with company match and brokerage account options
• Paid time off, including additional end‑of‑year company holiday period
• Life insurance, AD&D coverage, and short‑ and long‑term disability benefits
• Flexible remote work structure with significant travel opportunities (initially up to 75%, then ~25%)
• Professional development support, tuition reimbursement, and licensing assistance
• Paid parental leave after qualifying tenure
• Exposure to large‑scale, mission‑critical infrastructure projects with global impact
