Commissioning Leader - Mission Critical Infrastructure

At GWx, we believe the infrastructure behind intelligence is just as important as the intelligence itself. We engineer the mission critical environments that power artificial intelligence, hyperscale data centers, advanced manufacturing, life sciences, semiconductors, and other critical infrastructure.

Our vision is:
Shaping a future where intelligence, infrastructure, and humanity advance together.

We are building a different kind of engineering firm defined by accountability, technical excellence, integrity, humility, collaboration, and an ownership mindset.

GWx is seeking a Commissioning Leader to build and lead our commissioning practice, with a particular focus on mission critical and data center infrastructure. Commissioning plays a fundamental role in the successful delivery of today's increasingly complex facilities. In mission critical environments, commissioning is far more than a final verification exercise. It is an integrated process that helps identify risk, validate system performance, confirm design intent, and demonstrate that interconnected systems perform reliably under both normal and abnormal operating conditions.

The successful candidate will understand that mission critical commissioning requires more than verifying individual pieces of equipment. Our approach must validate how complete systems function together and how facilities respond when components, utilities, communications, controls, or other critical systems do not perform as expected. The Commissioning Leader will help GWx challenge designs, identify vulnerabilities, verify sequences of operation, test redundancy and failure scenarios, and demonstrate that facilities can perform under real-world operating conditions.

This leader will establish GWx's commissioning strategy, technical standards, delivery processes, and team while serving as a trusted technical advisor to clients. Working closely with owners, designers, contractors, and operators, they will help complex facilities achieve the reliability, resilience, and operational performance required to support critical business operations.

Lead the development of commissioning strategies for mission critical facilities.

• Build and lead a team to support organizational growth
• Own standards, hiring, delivery methods, quality, pricing input, and final technical decisions.
• Recruit, mentor, and develop professionals
• Establish clear roles, responsibilities, goals, and performance expectations
• Directly supervise commissioning engineers, designers, specialists, and project technical leads as the practice grows
• Manage workload, staffing requirements, and resource allocation
• Develop career paths and technical development opportunities for team members
• Lead by example by demonstrate accountability, professionalism, safety, and technical excellence

Lead the successful execution of commissioning projects from concept through operational readiness, ensuring alignment among all project stakeholders throughout the facility lifecycle. Regular travel to client and project sites may be required, depending on project workload and geographic location.

• Lead commissioning activities for hyperscale, colocation, AI, and other high-performance facilities
• Develop commissioning plans, specifications, procedures, schedules, and project-specific execution strategies
• Lead commissioning involvement from design and preconstruction through construction, startup, testing, turnover, and operational readiness
• Coordinate with owners, engineers, contractors, equipment manufacturers, controls integrators, and operations teams
• Champion site safety and operational discipline by supporting safe execution of commissioning…
