Summary

Electrical Commissioning Engineer

If you're a seasoned commissioning professional who enjoys complex, high-stakes environments and wants consistent and stable work, this role offers exactly that.

You'll work on some of the most critical facilities in the country-primarily data centers and AI infrastructure- alongside a deeply respected commissioning team known for technical excellence and professionalism. You'll have access to top-tier tools, strong operational support, and a leadership team that values quality, safety, and long-term relationships over volume and burnout.

This is an opportunity to:

Earn $100K-$160K in a salaried role with bonus eligibility
Work with a stable backlog of projects (no boom-and-bust cycles)
Join a team recognized as some of the best in the industry
Grow your responsibility, compensation, and project scope over time
Maintain work-life balance through a predictable 3 weeks on / 1 week off travel cadence for data center projects

The Work You'll Be Doing

As a Commissioning Engineer, you'll play a key role in delivering mission-critical facilities from pre-functional testing through integrated system validation. You'll manage commissioning activities, collaborate with multiple stakeholders, and ensure systems perform exactly as designed.

Primary project types include:

Data Centers & AI Infrastructure ( 80% of current workload)
Fulfillment Centers
Security Systems (office, lab, and data center environments)
Grocery & Refrigeration Facilities
Select Educational Facilities

Key Responsibilities

Manage commissioning activities for large, complex facilities
Develop and execute commissioning plans, test procedures, SOPs, and MOPs
Lead equipment pre-start-up, start-up, and functional performance testing
Perform integrated system testing and load bank testing
Review design documents, drawings, specifications, and submittals
Maintain commissioning logs, checklists, and documentation
Prepare comprehensive commissioning reports, including deficiencies and operational recommendations
Interface with clients, contractors, vendors, and owner representatives
Support troubleshooting and validation of electrical systems in the field
Participate in commissioning meetings and construction coordination as required

What You Bring

Experience & Credentials

Minimum 4+ years of commissioning experience (more is ideal)
Strong electrical background required
Prior data center or mission-critical experience is a must
CCP or CxA certification strongly preferred
NFPA 70E and OSHA 10 or 30 required
- (Can be provided post-hire for earlier-career candidates, but experienced professionals are expected to already have this background)

Technical Expertise

Hands-on experience with power quality meters, infrared cameras, data loggers, and related testing equipment
Familiarity with integrated systems testing and electrical equipment validation
Working knowledge of IEEE procedures and protocols (preferred)
Proficiency with Microsoft Excel (primary), Word, and Project
Experience with CxAlloy preferred (client-specific platforms such as AWS, Microsoft, or Meta tools may also be required)

Communication

Strong written and verbal communication skills
Comfortable producing detailed documentation and client-facing reports

Tools & Support Provided

2:1 laptop setup
Safety gear and specialized commissioning equipment
Cell phone reimbursement
Access to industry-standard and owner-required software platforms

Travel & Team Structure

~65% national travel (no international travel)
Data center projects typically follow a 3 weeks on / 1 week off schedule
Week-off does not impact PTO accrual
Commissioning team is distributed nationwide, allowing proximity to projects and efficient deployment

Compensation & Benefits

$100,000-$160,000 base salary, depending on experience
Bonus eligibility (higher responsibility = higher upside)
PTO accrual based on years of experience
1099 engagement structure (details shared during the process)

Growth Opportunities

This role offers a clear runway:

Earlier-career professionals can expand into project management or leadership responsibilities
Senior professionals gain access to larger clients, more complex projects, and increased compensation
Long-term stability with a firm committed to investing in its people, not cycling through them
