Skillbridge Training Program Description

Apollo’s Skill Bridge Program is designed to equip transitioning service members with the technical skills, field experience, and industry certifications needed to thrive in the data center commissioning sector. Participants will gain hands-on experience working alongside industry professionals on mission-critical projects. Service members will receive mentorship from senior commissioning engineers and may have the opportunity for full-time employment post-transition.

We are seeking highly motivated and dedicated service members from all backgrounds to participate in our Electrical Commissioning Engineer (CxE) training program. During the program, trainees will be immersed in the fundamentals of data center electrical commissioning, working under the guidance of experienced engineers. This hands-on training will expose participants to mission-critical systems, emphasize attention to detail, and develop the ability to perform in high-pressure environments — all essential for a future career in data center operations and commissioning.

Activities will include but are not limited to testing and/or validation of transformers, electrical switch gear, Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units, Static Transfer Switch (STS) units, Power Distribution Units (PDU), electrical distribution equipment, Electrical Power Monitoring Systems (EPMS), and Building Management and Automation Systems (BMS). This role involves supporting data center construction/commissioning activities, so working hours may include nights and/or weekends.

This is an onsite, client-facing role that may require approximately 90% or more travel to various client locations.
