About This Role

As a Staff Commissioning Engineer, you will serve as the primary point of accountability for commissioning activities across your assigned data center projects. You will own the full commissioning lifecycle — from factory witness testing through integrated systems testing and formal turnover — ensuring all electrical, and EPMS systems are delivered in alignment with design intent, Owner Project Requirements, and Crusoe's operational readiness standards.

• Facilitate cross-functional collaboration between construction, engineering, controls, and operations teams throughout all project phases.
• Manage stakeholder expectations by clearly defining commissioning processes, roles, and levels of engagement.
• Ensure all commissioning documentation is complete, accurate, and supports a clean project turnover.
• Support transition to operations by providing technical guidance, training coordination, and post-handover support as required.
• Enforce safety, compliance, and regulatory requirements across all commissioning activities.

What You'll Bring

• 7+ years of experience in data center commissioning, construction, or critical infrastructure delivery.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, or a related field; equivalent commissioning experience considered (CxA certification a plus).

• Hands‑on experience with data center systems including power distribution and EPMS infrastructure.
• Proven experience managing third‑party commissioning agents and holding vendors accountable to scope, schedule, and quality.
• Ability to review and interpret technical documentation including construction drawings, single‑line diagrams, submittals, and test procedures.
• Strong cross‑functional coordination skills with the ability to align construction, engineering, controls, and operations teams around commissioning objectives.
• Experience with issue tracking, risk management, and project reporting across multiple concurrent workstreams.
• Solid understanding of safety and compliance requirements within active construction and commissioning environments.
• Willingness to travel to project sites as required (75% travel).
