This is a senior, hands-on leadership role at the intersection of design, construction, commissioning, and operations, with a clear mandate to improve facility flexibility for future GPU hardware, raise energy efficiency, and drive repeatable reductions in capital cost. You'll shape how commissioning is embedded from the design phase through Integrated Systems Testing, while partnering closely with Design, Construction, Operations, Procurement, and internal product and platform stakeholders. You'll also work across customer and internal requirements, helping ensure our facilities are delivered with predictable performance, operational readiness, and clear technical traceability. What You'll be Doing * Identify, evaluate, and implement innovative infrastructure solutions that improve data centre flexibility for future GPU hardware, energy efficiency, and capital efficiency. * Establish practical pilot approaches for new ideas, including success metrics, risk reviews, deployment plans, and lessons learned. * Translate deployment learnings into updates to standards, basis-of-design guidance, and commissioning requirements. * Lead design reviews with a commissioning lens to ensure facilities are testable, maintainable, and aligned with turnover and operational-readiness requirements. * Build commissioning expectations into design documentation early, including controls interfaces, monitoring strategy, sequences, and acceptance criteria. * Define commissioning quality standards for design deliverables and ensure traceability from design intent to test coverage. * Select, onboard, and manage third-party commissioning partners supporting test scripts, QA/QC plans, readiness gates, and commissioning documentation. * Oversee commissioning execution from Level 3 through IST, ensuring issues are tracked to closure and readiness criteria are met before turnover. * Serve as a key technical partner in clarifying customer infrastructure requirements, due diligence requests, commissioning expectations, efficiency targets, and operational constraints. * Lead cross-functional decisions on customer-driven changes, documenting impacts to cost, schedule, risk, and performance. * Partner with Construction, Operations, Procurement, and delivery stakeholders to align commissioning plans with site constraints, phasing, maintenance windows, and turnover needs. * Influence vendor strategy and technical requirements to improve equipment readiness, testability, and systems integration outcomes. ## Related Videos - [The Sustainability Race: AI's Promises, Pitfalls and Potential](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100155-the-sustainability-race-ai-s-promises-pitfalls-and-potential) - [Are Classical Automation Frameworks Dead?
