Electrical & Powertrain Commissioning Lead

The Electrical & Powertrain Commissioning Lead is responsible for field side commissioning of the entire electrical path in the data centre, from utility interface through MV/LV gear, UPS, batteries, PDUs/RPPs, busway, and distribution into white space. This role owns L2/L3 completion and mock‑run of all L4 tests for electrical systems and prepares them for L5 scenarios, ensuring the powertrain behaves correctly under normal, abnormal, and fault conditions.

• Develop and execute L2 and L3 tests for electrical systems: installation verification, start‑up, functional checks, and safety validation.
• Mock‑run L4 functional performance tests: transfer sequences, failover behavior, breaker coordination, loss‑of‑component scenarios, maintenance modes, and alarm responses.
• Verify proper integration of fabricated assemblies (panels, skids, busway, RPPs) into the electrical system, closing remaining L3 checks that can only be done on site.
• Coordinate with the OFCI Integration Lead to ensure vendor‑furnished electrical equipment (UPS, switch gear, generators) is commissioned and supported per plan.
• Collaborate with Controls/BMS Lead to validate electrical sequences of operation and alarm/telemetry integrity in BMS/EPMS.
• Participate in and help 3rd party commissioning teams with L4/L5 electrical scenarios, including complex failover and fault simulations relevant to AI/neo‑cloud loads.
• Document all tests, defects, and resolutions in coordination with the Cx Program & Data Engineer.

• Deep experience with data centre or mission‑critical electrical systems, including UPS, generators, MV/LV switch gear, PDUs/RPPs, and distribution.
• Proven ability to lead complex commissioning, start‑up, and integrated testing for electrical infrastructure.
• Strong ability to read and interpret electrical single‑line diagrams, protection schemes, and control logic.
• Comfortable making real‑time decisions during tests and troubleshooting issues under time pressure, with a bias toward safety and correctness.
• Clear communicator who can explain technical behaviors and risks to both engineers and non‑technical stakeholders.
• 7+ years in electrical commissioning, testing, or operations for data centres or other mission‑critical facilities.
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience.
• Familiarity with formal commissioning methodologies (L1–L5) and standards (ASHRAE, NFPA, IEEE).
• Experience with Cx tools and platforms (CxAlloy, Procore, Facility Grid).
• Relevant certifications (PE, CxA, BCxP, NEBB, etc.) are an asset.
