Testing & Commissioning Manager

Testing Strategy & Roadmaps: Establish standardized testing frameworks and site-specific commissioning schedules, ensuring all activity aligns with project milestones, allocated budgets, and hyperscale quality benchmarks.

Technical Scripting & Protocol Governance: Draft and sign off on rigorous validation procedures, test scripts, and pass/fail thresholds tailored to complex electrical and thermal topologies.

Procurement & Vendor Leadership: Manage technical scoping, RFP creation, and procurement for third-party commissioning agents (CxA) and specialist testing contractors; govern partner performance via regular delivery audits and scorecards.

Field Execution & Milestone Verification: Oversee factory and site testing phases (FAT/SAT), pre-functional checks, individual component verification, and Integrated Systems Testing (IST) to validate compliance with owner project requirements.

Cross-Phase Handover: Partner closely with construction managers to verify mechanical/electrical completion before energization, and lead the final turnover to site operations teams (including operations walkthroughs and systems training).

Defect & Punch-List Resolution: Drive root-cause assessments of field anomalies, enforce strict QA/QC compliance, and shepherd punch-list issues through to resolution prior to final sign-off.

Stakeholder Reporting: Lead technical review sessions and provide transparent reporting to leadership on schedule adherence, Ready for Service (RFS) targets, scope variance, and field risks.

Continuous Feedback: Extract operational lessons from completed builds to update regional design standards, enhance testing efficiency, and lower total commissioning costs on future projects.
