Commissioning manager

The Data Center Commissioning Manager leads the comprehensive testing and verification of all critical infrastructure within a facility. They ensure that power, cooling, network, and security systems operate seamlessly together, meet Tier III/IV reliability standards , and can automatically handle system failures without dropping server loads.

Manage L1 to L5 Commissioning: Lead the entire testing lifecycle, including Factory Acceptance Testing (L2), Component Testing (L3), Functional Testing (L4), and Integrated Systems Testing (L5/Pull-the-Plug test). Power Infrastructure Testing: Oversee performance verification of medium/low voltage switchgear, Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), generators, Power Distribution Units (PDUs), and Static Transfer Switches (STS). Thermal Management Testing: Validate mission-critical cooling infrastructure, including chillers, Computer Room Air Handlers (CRAHs), direct evaporative systems, and liquid cooling setups. Controls Integration: Supervise the tuning and testing of Building Management Systems (BMS) and Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) platforms. Load Bank Coordination: Schedule and execute temporary electrical and thermal load bank testing to simulate full server deployment stresses. Failure Mode Operations: Force intentional system failures (e.g., total utility power loss) to verify that backup systems switch over instantaneously. Experience & Requirements Education: A Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent military experience (e.g., Navy Nuclear program). Experience: Minimum 5+ years specifically in data center commissioning, critical facilities operations, or heavy industrial MEP construction. Industry Standards: Deep knowledge of Uptime Institute Tier Standards , ASHRAE guidelines (Guidelines 0 and 1.1), and local electrical codes. Skills: Expert proficiency in reading single-line diagrams, psychrometric charts, and analyzing sequences of operations (SOO) #J-18808-Ljbffr
