• Mentor Engineers and Inspectors.

• Lead system functional testing strategy and execution.
• Validate data centre electrical system performance under all defined operating modes, including failure and recovery scenarios.
• Manage technical risk during abnormal and failure testing.

• Lead and control Integrated Systems Testing (IST).
• Demonstrate data centre redundancy, resilience and failure-recovery compliance through integrated testing across disciplines.
• Support client acceptance, operational readiness and the transition to live data centre loads.

• Full technical authority for commissioning sign-off within assigned scope.
• Authority to halt commissioning activities due to risk or non-compliance.

• 8–12+ years commissioning experience in mission-critical facilities.
• Strong data centre delivery background, with hands‑on electrical commissioning experience and a clear understanding of redundancy, resilience and IST.
