Role Description

The Electrical Commissioning Engineer is a critical role responsible for assisting the electrical validation and power reliability program for large-scale, mission-critical data center construction projects.

• Provide technical oversight to field technicians and electrical contractors.
• Bridge the gap between complex electrical designs and real-world field conditions.
• Ensure medium-voltage power distribution, backup systems, and emergency topologies deliver non-negotiable 100% uptime during grid disruptions and concurrent maintenance scenarios.

Qualifications

• L5 Integrated Systems Testing (IST): Assist the execution of L5 pull-the-plug heat-load and electrical fault testing using load banks to validate system redundancy, concurrent maintainability, transient behaviors, and automated throwover schemes (ATS).
• Review site-specific, rigorous test scripts, Method Statements (MOPs), Energization Plans, and pre-functional checklists.
• Contribute to the electrical project issue log, ensuring electrical discrepancies and safety gaps are categorized by risk, tracked, and remediated by appropriate vendors without impacting the master schedule.
