About The Position

The IT Construction Monitoring and Commissioning Inspector verifies that IT infrastructure and technical fit-out elements are built, installed, and checked out in accordance with engineering design drawings, project specifications, and quality standards. The role connects physical construction with IT hardware deployment by conducting daily site inspections, identifying technical deviations early, and resolving installation issues with general contractors and design engineers. It requires critical thinking, anticipating operational issues, proposing viable engineering alternatives, and communicating clearly and diplomatically when negotiating fixes between field contractors and design engineers. The position involves on-site work at active construction sites and use of required personal protective equipment (PPE).

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in a related technical field, or equivalent experience.

At least 5 years of experience managing technical fit-outs involving multidisciplinary coordination across Electrical, HVAC, Low Voltage, and Network Engineering.
At least 5 years of experience reading and interpreting blueprints, architectural drawings, MEP schedules, single-line diagrams, and IT schematic layouts.
At least 5 years of experience applying BICSI standards, NEC, and structured cabling practices.
At least 5 years of experience using construction management software such as Procore, Autodesk Build, or PlanGrid, and scheduling tools.

Inspect structural and pathway elements, including fiber conduits, stub-ups, underground piping, cable trays, equipment racks, and cabinets.
Monitor supporting infrastructure deployments for compliance, including data center and IDF room HVAC, cooling distribution, and dedicated IT power systems such as UPS, PDU, and grounding.
Audit the physical placement and mounting of IT hardware, including switches, routers, servers, patch panels, and wireless access points.
Verify copper and fiber structured cabling installations for proper bend radius, support, slack loops, and termination quality.
Perform QA/QC audits on asset tags, cable labels, and port mapping against the approved labeling schema and matrix.
Identify field conflicts, design gaps, and contractor deviations from design intent.
Lead collaborative problem-solving with general construction contractors and MEP and IT engineering designers to resolve field issues.
Issue and track Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) and participate in the Request for Information (RFI) process.
Monitor construction progress against the master project schedule and identify potential bottlenecks and milestone risks.
Author daily and weekly progress reports with photographic evidence, deviation logs, and remediation proposals.
Maintain the project punch list from initial rough-in through final IT checkout and owner handover.
