Job summary

Fluidstack is seeking a dedicated electrical commissioning engineer to stand up and validate power distribution for mission-critical facilities. You will verify protection schemes, perform coordination checks, and lead megawatt-scale load bank testing with a focus on safety and reliability.

• Experience commissioning electrical distribution on mission critical facilities.
• Ability to read protection studies and coordination curves and catch errors.
• Experience running load bank testing at megawatt scale.
• Experience holding vendors to test standards under schedule pressure.

• Write and run test scripts covering protection, transfer schemes, and failure scenarios at full load.
• Oversee NETA testing and vendor startups, verifying results rather than filing them.
• Run integrated systems tests proving the site rides through utility events the way the design says it will.
