Field Manager, CXQC

About the Company

Hut 8 is on a mission to build and operate some of the world’s largest data centers for next-generation computing workloads, including AI, Colocation, Cloud, and Bitcoin Mining. We offer challenging opportunities for individuals who want to build teams, solve problems, and make an impact from day one.

About the Role

The Field Manager (CXQC) leads commissioning and quality control on behalf of Managed Services for a data center build, verifying systems are installed, tested, and turned over to operational standards. This role bridges the gap between construction completion and operational readiness.

Responsibilities

• Commissioning Program Leadership: Own site execution of the Level 1-5 commissioning program, including Cx schedule development with the Planner/Scheduler, script and procedure review, prerequisite verification, test witnessing coordination, and daily Cx execution management across electrical, mechanical, and controls systems.
• SME Team Coordination: Direct the day-to-day work of Electrical, Mechanical, and Controls SMEs, including witness assignments, design-review priorities, and issue ownership to provide a unified operations voice into the project.
• Quality Control: Enforce installation quality standards and hold points with construction through QC walkdowns at defined milestones, installation verification against IFC and vendor requirements, and management of a Cx/QC issues log with aging discipline and closure verification.
• Integrated Systems Testing: Lead planning and execution of integrated systems testing, including failure scenarios, pull-the-plug sequences, and full-load validation, with coordinated participation from utility, vendor, and operations teams. Document results to acceptance criteria.
• Turnover to Operations: Verify turnover packages meet Managed Services standards, including test records, settings files, O&Ms, as-builts, training completion, spare parts, and maintenance-program inputs. Run system-by-system turnover acceptance and drive open items to zero before operational handover.
• Stakeholder Coordination & Reporting: Coordinate commissioning agents, NETA firms, OEM technicians, trade partners, and the construction team. Report Cx progress, risks, and readiness to project leadership and Managed Services with equal candor.

Requirements

• 7+ years in data center or mission-critical commissioning, quality, or critical facilities leadership roles.
• Command of Level 1-5 commissioning processes, integrated systems testing design, and turnover documentation standards.
• Cross-system fluency in electrical (switchgear, generators, UPS), mechanical (chilled water, air/liquid cooling), and BMS/EPMS.
• Experience directing commissioning agents, NETA testing firms, and OEM field service teams.
• QC program experience with construction hold points and installation verification.
• Operations-first judgment—you accept systems on behalf of the people who will run them at 3 a.m.
• Strong issue-management and reporting discipline; the Cx log must be current daily.
• CxA, CCP, or equivalent commissioning credential a plus; trade or engineering background welcome.
• Full-time on-site role through commissioning and stabilization.

• Design and pitch new products, services, and initiatives to a leadership team of serial entrepreneurs and seasoned executives.
• Engage in meritocratic debates where ideas are evaluated on their merits, fostering a steep learning curve from both senior and junior team members.
• Build a lifelong network at the intersection of technology, energy, and infrastructure.
