We are seeking a Senior Commissioning Assurance Manager to serve as the owner’s representative for a state-of-the-art, gigawatt-scale data center campus in Michigan. This role focuses on building-level commissioning oversight, ensuring all commissioning plans, test evidence, and readiness gates meet the highest standards before operational handover. This is a governance and assurance role — you will guide and validate the work of developers, contractors, and commissioning agents rather than performing the execution yourself.
Key Responsibilities:
Review and approve building-level commissioning plans, test procedures, and acceptance criteria; identify gaps and drive closure.
Chair weekly commissioning readiness meetings and track punch lists, defects, and dependencies to resolution.
Audit test scripts, results, telemetry mappings, and alarm configurations; ensure DCIM, BMS, and EPMS interfaces are validated.
Conduct targeted witness testing for critical sequences, log deviations, and confirm corrective actions before acceptance.
Maintain a building-specific commissioning risk register and provide recommended mitigations.
Provide concise weekly status updates to program leadership and maintain audit-ready documentation throughout.
Required Qualifications8–12 years of commissioning and quality assurance experience in mission critical environments, with experience in owner’s representative or CxA oversight.
Strong electrical commissioning background (MV/LV, UPS, generators, switchgear, protection & coordination) with mechanical and life-safety knowledge.
Proficiency with commissioning management platforms (e.g., CxAlloy), Procore, and structured evidence packages; experience validating DCIM/BMS/EPMS integrations.
Excellent documentation skills and ability to enforce standards while maintaining collaborative relationships.
Onsite presence in Michigan is required.
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience commissioning data center buildings, including IST, FAT, and SAT witnessing. Familiarity with owner acceptance processes and security baselines for critical infrastructure.
Why Join:
This is an opportunity to be part of a technically challenging, mission-critical program where precision, governance, and operational readiness are paramount. You will play a key role in ensuring a seamless transition from construction to operational excellence. Apply today to lead commissioning assurance for a world-class data center project.
