• Support walkdowns, tag walks and system inspections
• Track commissioning progress, snags and close-out
• Support system handover, O&M documentation and client training
• Identify issues early and elevate commissioning risks

What We're Looking For

• Mechanical commissioning experience within complex construction projects
• Strong knowledge of HVAC, chilled water, LTHW, ventilation and pressurisation systems
• Understanding of commissioning processes, sequencing and system interfacesComfortable working in a fast-paced, site-based environment
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work across multiple disciplines
• A practical, hands-on approach with strong attention to detail
• Data centre experience is a major advantage, but strong mechanical commissioning experience from other mission-critical or technically complex environments will be considered.
