Commissioning Electrical Engineer, Data Centers
About The Position
Fluidstack is seeking a Commissioning Electrical Engineer to join their team, focusing on delivering large-scale compute infrastructure for AI. The role involves leading the commissioning process for electrical systems in data centers, from pre-commissioning through Level 5 commissioning. The company emphasizes extreme ownership, velocity, first principles, and a passion for the problem space. The commissioning team is working on establishing a commissioning program for GWs of data centers, developing plans for modular designs, and driving automated commissioning. The role requires leading the commissioning of various electrical systems including generators, switchgear, transformers, UPS, and lighting controls across multiple sites. The engineer will be responsible for reviewing and developing testing programs, acting as the owner's commissioning lead, coordinating with various stakeholders, running site commissioning end-to-end, and ensuring final operational handover with complete documentation.
Requirements
- Personally commissioned HV, MV, and LV electrical systems, generators, switchgear, transformers, UPS, ATS/STS, PDUs, busways, and grounding, at hyperscale or mission-critical data centers.
- Run commissioning phases end to end, from factory witness testing and pre-functional checks through integrated systems testing.
- Diagnosed and resolved issues during startup under time pressure, and can trace a fault through a control scheme without waiting for someone else to find it.
- Coordinated general contractors, designers, and vendors across multiple live projects at once without losing track of open items.
- Maintain test results, punch lists, and commissioning reports as you go, not reconstruct them after the fact.
- Write clearly enough that a test report or handover package reads as decision-ready, not just data.
Nice To Haves
- ASHRAE or BCxA commissioning guidelines.
- NETA test specifications.
- PLC and EPMS control systems, automatic and semi-automatic switching schemes.
- Mechanical systems commissioning exposure.
Responsibilities
- Lead pre-commissioning through Level 5 commissioning for HV, MV, and LV electrical systems, including generators, generator paralleling switchgear, transformers, UPS and battery systems, switchgear, ATS/STS, PDUs, busways, RPPs, grounding, and lighting control, across multiple sites.
- Review and develop the Testing & Verification program with commissioning agents and engineers, confirming every electrical system meets design and operational intent before it goes live.
- Act as the owner's commissioning lead for electrical scope, coordinating general contractors, designers, and vendors across concurrent projects and resolving conflicts before they hit the schedule.
- Run site commissioning end to end: inspections, safety enforcement, progress tracking, and issue resolution from first energization through functional testing.
- Lead the final operational handover, ensuring every electrical system, its test record, and its documentation is ready for live service.
Benefits
- Competitive total compensation package (cash + equity).
- Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms.
- Health, dental, and vision insurance.
- Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms.
- Commitment to pay equity and transparency.
