Critical Mechanical Systems Specialist

CyrusOne•Midland, MI

About The Position

Lead mechanical systems readiness for new capacity and ongoing reliability. Provide commissioning oversight, drive new site onboarding and transition, and execute site inspections/audits to uncover performance, efficiency, and reliability risks across chilled-water plants, CRAH/CRAC, cooling towers, heat-rejection systems, and controls/BMS. Ensure mechanical designs meet operational standards and that documentation and training are complete for Day 1 operations. Responsibilities Commissioning oversight: Validate mechanical system performance and control sequences; track and close defects/punch-list items discovered pre-commissioning and during commissioning. Develop and conduct commissioning for infrastructure projects that are executed at operational datacenters. Conduct operational procedure validation during post turnover pre customer load deployment phase. Support the development of a robust process to standardize mechanical turnover documentation, ensure storage in the designated repository, and verify operator training and readiness. Site inspections / audits: Conduct site physicals and infrastructure assessments focused on mechanical reliability, efficiency, and risk; maintain and drive closure of mitigation plans. Design-to-operations bridge: Document field changes, communicate operational impacts to the gaining team, and ensure readiness gaps are closed prior to hand-off. Cross-functional coordination: Work with Design & Construction, Commissioning, Site Operations, and Reliability Engineering to align standards and continuously improve readiness playbooks. Provides continual evaluation of processes and procedures, responsible for suggesting methods to improve operation and efficiency of DC design and equipment.
