Job Purpose Lead the planning, coordination and technical oversight of mechanical commissioning activities across assigned data center projects. Verify that mechanical systems meet approved design requirements, contractual specifications, safety standards and operational performance criteria through structured testing, issue resolution and documented acceptance. Coordinate with engineering, construction, commissioning providers and Operations to achieve safe, timely commissioning and a complete handover of reliable, maintainable systems. KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES: Commissioning Planning & Technical Review • Develop and maintain mechanical commissioning scope, schedules, resource requirements and testing dependencies within the overall project commissioning plan. • Review designs, specifications, sequences of operation and technical submissions for compliance with project requirements, commissioning readiness and maintainability. • Review mechanical commissioning plans, method statements, test scripts and acceptance criteria; recommend approval or approve within delegated authority. • Identify commissioning risks, constraints and interface requirements early and coordinate mitigation actions. Mechanical Systems Testing & Verification • Oversee and witness factory and site acceptance testing, installation verification, pre-commissioning, start-up and functional performance testing, as required by the project scope. • Verify the performance of cooling and ventilation systems, including chillers, pumps, heat rejection equipment, air-handling equipment, chilled-water networks and associated systems, as applicable. • Verify completion and acceptance of pressure testing, flushing, water treatment, testing and balancing, and equipment checks before subsequent testing stages. • Validate system capacity, environmental conditions, control sequences, alarms and performance against approved acceptance criteria. Integrated Systems & Resilience Testing • Coordinate mechanical interfaces with electrical systems, Building Management Systems (BMS) and other monitoring and control platforms. • Develop and validate mechanical elements of integrated systems testing, including simulated load, failure, recovery and redundancy scenarios. • Review temporary load arrangements and test configurations with relevant disciplines, contractors and Operations. • Verify that testing demonstrates the required cooling resilience and recovery performance without introducing unacceptable operational risk. Defect Resolution & Technical Assurance • Maintain commissioning issue and defect logs, assigning actions and tracking resolution against agreed priorities and deadlines. • Lead technical investigations and root cause analysis of mechanical commissioning failures and coordinate corrective actions. • Verify corrective work and retesting, ensuring evidence supports closure of defects and non-conformances. • Escalate unresolved technical risks, failed acceptance criteria and matters affecting safety, reliability or project milestones. Project Coordination & Provider Performance • Coordinate commissioning activities with Engineering, Construction, Operations, Procurement, contractors, equipment manufacturers and commissioning providers. • Define technical scopes and support the evaluation of commissioning provider proposals with Procurement and the Director – Commissioning. • Monitor provider deliverables, technical quality, resource adequacy and progress against agreed requirements. • Identify schedule conflicts, resource gaps and changes affecting commissioning scope, cost or delivery; recommend corrective actions. Operational Readiness & Handover • Verify the completeness and accuracy of test records, commissioning reports, operating and maintenance manuals, as-built information and relevant equipment records. • Coordinate Operations involvement in testing, system familiarisation and training. • Confirm that outstanding defects, operating restrictions and residual risks are documented and escalated before handover. • Recommend mechanical system acceptance and readiness for handover based on verified results and agreed acceptance criteria. • Coordinate deferred or seasonal testing and post-handover defect resolution, where applicable. Financial & Performance Oversight • Technical evaluations of commissioning agent’s proposals and performance. • Oversee multiple projects timelines and optimize commissioning resources allocations. Reporting, Insights & Executive Engagement • Provide clear reports on commissioning progress, test results, outstanding defects, risks and readiness for upcoming milestones. • Maintain accurate commissioning records and dashboards using approved systems and templates. • Capture lessons learned and recommended improvements to testing methods, standard documentation and commissioning practices. Policies, Systems, Processes & Procedures • Follow all relevant departmental policies, processes, standard operating procedures, and instructions so that work is carried out in a controlled and consistent manner. Continuous Improvement • Contributes to the identification of opportunities for improvement, simplification and optimization considering standards, productivity and cost reduction. Quality, Health, Safety & Environment • Ensure commissioning activities follow approved risk assessments, method statements, permit-to-work requirements and applicable isolation procedures. • Verify testing readiness, including safe access, system boundaries, calibrated instruments and emergency arrangements. • Intervene and escalate unsafe activities in accordance with company procedures. • Comply with applicable quality, health, safety and environmental requirements. Related Assignments • The job holder may be required to undertake additional duties, which may be reasonably expected and forms part of the function of the job.
