We are seeking skilled and motivated professionals of all experience levels to join our team as Data Center Electrical Commissioning Engineers (CxEs). The Electrical CxE will commission electrical systems in data centers, ensuring they meet top performance and reliability standards. This role requires a deep understanding of mission-critical environments, meticulous attention to detail, and the ability to work effectively under pressure.

All newly hired team members entering Apollo’s Commissioning Engineer career path begin in the role of Commissioning Engineer in Training (Cx-EIT). In this role, team members develop and apply technical commissioning knowledge, engineering judgment, and field experience through structured project execution, mentorship, and progressive responsibility within mission-critical environments.

Cx-EIT team members actively contribute to project execution activities, including technical reviews, systems evaluations, commissioning documentation development, field inspections, functional testing, issue identification and resolution support, and coordination with project stakeholders.

Upon successful demonstration of technical competency, achievement of qualification and performance milestones, and management approval, team members may progress into the role of Electrical Commissioning Engineer.
