• Support integrated commissioning across all L1–L5 phases, participating in IST, SOO validation, and system energization.
• Review installation and test documentation including PFCs, FPTs, and startup records.
• Validate electrical and fiber testing (megger, IR scans, hydrostatic pressure testing, etc.).
• Coordinate O&M manuals, warranties, and as-built documentation for final turnover.
• Leverage platforms like Procore, Smartsheet, Bluebeam, and Cx Alloy to manage inspections and QA/QC workflows.
• Identify and resolve safety risks in accordance with OSHA standards.
• Lead meetings, communicate with ownership groups and general contractors, and contribute to high-performance project delivery.

• 7+ years of QA/QC or field engineering experience in large-scale, ground-up construction, ideally with data center or mission-critical facilities.
• Expertise in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, with a strong understanding of commissioning processes.
• Strong understanding of construction documentation, IFC drawings, and permitting.
• Proficiency in QA/QC documentation systems and project tracking software.
• Ability to interpret test reports and lead closeout efforts with high attention to detail.
• Strong interpersonal, leadership, and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across multiple disciplines and stakeholders.
