Electrical Commissioning Lead - Data Centers

Commissioning Electrical Lead (Director-Level Scope)

Hyperscale AI Data Centers

Owner's Representative

The demand for AI infrastructure is creating one of the largest data center buildouts the industry has ever seen.

I'm currently partnering with a rapidly scaling AI infrastructure company that is delivering hyperscale data center capacity to support the next generation of AI compute.

As part of this growth, they're seeking a Commissioning Electrical Lead to take ownership of electrical commissioning activities across multiple mission-critical projects across the US.

While the title is "Lead", the scope aligns more closely with a Director-level position, with responsibility for commissioning strategy, execution, stakeholder leadership, and final operational handover.

This is an opportunity to move beyond a single-site focus and play a key role in delivering large-scale critical infrastructure that will underpin the future of AI.

Key areas of responsibility include:

• Leading electrical commissioning strategy and execution across multiple sites
• Managing commissioning agents, contractors, vendors, and design teams
• Overseeing Level 1-5 commissioning activities
• Driving successful testing, validation, troubleshooting, and operational handover
• Ensuring commissioning quality across critical power infrastructure

Experience sought:

• Hyperscale or mission-critical data center commissioning experience
• Strong knowledge of HV/MV/LV electrical systems
• UPS, generators, switchgear, ATS/STS, EPMS, and associated controls
• NETA testing standards and commissioning best practices
• Owner's representative or client-side commissioning experience highly desirable

Location: Austin, TX (preferred) + travel

Compensation: $200,000-$250,000 base salary + equity

For commissioning professionals looking for greater ownership, larger-scale projects, and the opportunity to help shape the next generation of AI infrastructure, this represents a genuinely unique opportunity.
