Electrical Commissioning Lead Data Center USA (J26-332)

Industry: IT / Critical Infrastructure

Location: USA

Context

The Electrical Commissioning Lead is responsible for the end-to-end commissioning of all electrical power systems within a data center environment. This role ensures that high-voltage (HV) and low-voltage (LV) distribution systems operate safely, reliably, and in full compliance with design intent and uptime requirements.

Given the critical nature of power in data centers, this position plays a key role in validating resiliency, redundancy, and black-start capability of the entire electrical infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead commissioning activities for all electrical power systems
• Develop and execute commissioning plans, procedures, and test scripts
• Supervise integration and functional testing of MV/LV systems
• Validate electrical redundancy schemes (N, N+1, 2N architectures)
• Ensure compliance with design specifications, safety standards, and client requirements
• Critical Testing Activities
• Load Bank Testing
• Perform full-load and partial-load testing of generator systems
• Verify UPS performance under dynamic load conditions
• Confirm thermal stability and system response under stress
• Black Start / “Pull-the-Plug” Testing
• Simulate total power loss scenarios
• Validate full recovery sequence from zero power condition
• Ensure proper coordination between:
• UPS systems
• Generator start-up
• ATS/STS transfer logic
• Confirm full restoration of critical loads without manual intervention

Technical Requirements

• Strong experience in MV/LV electrical systems in critical environments
• Deep understanding of UPS architectures and generator synchronization
• Knowledge of BESS integration in modern data centers
• Familiarity with electrical protection relays and switchgear logic
• Experience with commissioning tools, test equipment, and load banks

Candidate Profile

• Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent
• Extensive experience in data center commissioning or mission-critical facilities
• Proven track record in large-scale power system testing and validation
• Strong knowledge of Tier III / Tier IV data center standards
• Ability to lead multidisciplinary commissioning teams
• Strong focus on safety, reliability, and operational continuity
