ABOUT THE ROLE
We are seeking a Field Manager, CXQC, Principal to support the testing, verification, and turnover of critical infrastructure systems across our data center and mission-critical facility portfolio. This is a hands-on, field-oriented role responsible for executing commissioning programs from pre-functional testing through integrated system verification. The role is project-based, which means assignment locations will vary — candidates must be comfortable with travel and potential relocation to support active project sites across our growing footprint.
Some of the key responsibilities you should expect are the following:
- Execute pre-functional, functional, and integrated system commissioning activities across mechanical, electrical, and controls systems
- Support startup and commissioning of critical infrastructure including UPS systems, generators, switchgear, PDUs, CRAC/CRAH units, chillers, and BMS/EPMS platforms
- Document commissioning activities, test results, deficiencies, and resolutions in accordance with project commissioning plans
- Coordinate closely with general contractors, subcontractors, equipment vendors, and the owner's engineering team to sequence and execute commissioning activities
- Conduct site observations to verify installations are complete and compliant with design drawings and specifications prior to testing
- Identify field deficiencies and work with the project team to drive timely resolution before milestone dates
- Support and ensure readiness for operational turnover
- Maintain accurate, detailed commissioning records including test reports, punch lists, and equipment start-up logs
- Enforce safety protocols and ensure compliance with site-specific safety plans and OSHA standards during all commissioning activities
- Communicate daily progress, issues, and schedule risks to the appropriate project stakeholders
ABOUT YOU
- 2–5 years of hands-on experience in commissioning, startup, or field engineering within data centers, mission-critical facilities, or large-scale infrastructure projects
- Working knowledge of mechanical, electrical, and controls systems common to mission-critical environments (UPS, generators, switchgear, cooling, BMS/EPMS)
- Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, single-line diagrams, and equipment submittals
- Strong understanding of commissioning documentation requirements including test scripts, punch lists, and turnover packages
- Experience coordinating with multiple trades and subcontractors on active construction sites
- Comfortable operating in fast-paced, milestone-driven project environments with shifting priorities
- Detail-oriented with strong written and verbal communication skills — able to produce clear field reports and communicate issues effectively to project stakeholder
- Willingness and ability to travel to project sites; relocation may be required based on project assignment
- OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 certification preferred
- Experience with mission-critical infrastructure commissioning (power, cooling, fiber, telecom) is a strong plus
- Must possess and maintain a valid driver's license; active passport preferred for potential international project assignments
