Commissioning Senior Superintendent, Data Centers

About the role

The Commissioning Team at Fluidstack is responsible for standing up a Cx program for 50GW+ of DCs this decade, developing plans for Cx and QA/QC for first-of-a-kind modular data center designs, and driving development and implementation of automated L4/L5 commissioning. The role involves owning the field commissioning program across all MEP systems on hyperscale data center projects at 100MW+, leading every commissioning phase from pre-functional testing through functional performance testing and Integrated Systems Testing to owner acceptance, and running high-stakes client meetings with confidence.

• Own the field commissioning program across all MEP systems on hyperscale data center projects at 100MW+

You've owned large-scale commissioning programs from mobilization through owner acceptance as a superintendent on hyperscale data centers at 100MW+. You have deep mechanical commissioning expertise on chillers, dry coolers, FCUs, pumps, cooling towers, and HVAC in redundant live environments, plus enough electrical and controls command to lead integrated MEP commissioning.
