Lead commissioning readiness and execution for a GW-scale data center campus as the owner’s representative, overseeing Developer, GC, and their CxA to embed Oracle’s standards, security, and acceptance criteria. Orchestrate integrated L1–L5 commissioning plans, align long-lead/FAT/SAT milestones with the IMS, and drive cross-functional coordination across electrical, mechanical, controls, and low-voltage systems, ensuring evidence-based turnover and operational reliability.
Own governance, risk, and change control for commissioning scope: run the cadence, maintain the interface control document, and enforce QA/QC and documentation requirements (ITPs, redlines, as-builts, O&M). Partner with Oracle technical leads (LV/Network/DCIM), the Developer, and GC to resolve field issues quickly, protect critical path, and deliver predictable, compliant handovers that meet business objectives and stakeholder expectations.
Onsite in Saline, MI preferred; otherwise willing to travel 25–50% to project site and OEM facilities as needed.
Internal Responsibilities
Key Responsibilities
Project Management – Strategy Alignment
- Orchestrates commissioning readiness and execution for assigned buildings/blocks, ensuring activities align with business objectives, Oracle standards, and industry codes.
- Supports contract and change workflows by drafting/reviewing CRs, tracking cost/schedule impacts, and coordinating with Oracle PMO/Contracts for approvals.
- Coordinates cross-functional resourcing and look-aheads; escalates gaps early to keep milestones on track.
Project Management – Relationship Management
- Builds productive relationships with Developer, GC, CxA, A/E, and vendors; communicates expectations, progress, and risks with clear, timely updates.
- Ensures status, issues, and decisions are captured in reports and decision logs; drives closure on action items.
Project Management – Technical Documentation
- Develops and maintains commissioning scripts, ITPs, and checklists for assigned systems with guidance from senior/principal leads.
- Partners with GC and CxA to compile Systems Manuals and turnover documentation usable by Data Center Operations; verifies completeness and accuracy.
Systems Design & Specifications
- Contributes to design reviews, ensuring reliability and operations needs are reflected; validates interfaces across electrical, mechanical, life safety, fire suppression, controls, and Oracle-managed low-voltage systems.
- Maintains the Interface Control Document (ICD) for assigned scope; flags exceptions and coordinates resolution.
Implementation – Testing
- Monitors KPIs during testing (ITP pass rates, defect density, retest cycles); analyzes trends and recommends corrective actions.
- Supports FAT/SAT/IST planning and witness activities; ensures evidence is captured and traceable to requirements.
Implementation – Troubleshooting/Issue Resolution
- Leads resolution of non-routine issues within assigned scope; proposes options with schedule/quality implications and drives to decision.
- Identifies recurring issues and contributes fixes to playbooks and standards; aligns stakeholders on best practices.
Implementation – Quality & Safety
- Enforces Oracle quality standards and safety expectations in the field; confirms adherence to ITPs, labeling, and as-built requirements.
- Supports safety briefings and refreshers with GC/CxA; stays current on codes and best practices; promptly reports and helps resolve safety or security issues.
Core Responsibilities
Planning & Execution
- Ensures timelines, deliverables, and dependencies for assigned commissioning scope; anticipates resource or sequence shifts and proposes recovery plans.
- Coordinates the alignment of testing and turnover milestones with the integrated master schedule; keeps artifacts audit-ready.
Collaboration & Partnership
- Influences cross-functional peers and external partners to align on objectives and remove blockers.
- Practices transparency and inclusivity; incorporates field feedback to improve plans and outcomes.
Problem Solving
- Serves as an escalation point for complex issues within assigned systems; applies data-driven root cause analysis and drives preventive actions.
Continuous Learning
- Actively develops domain expertise; shares lessons learned and updates playbooks/checklists to improve repeatability and quality.
Continuous Improvement
- Identifies process gaps in commissioning and turnover; implements improvements, defines simple metrics (e.g., first-pass acceptance), and tracks results.
Performance and Development
- Mentors junior staff/contractors on commissioning workflows and documentation quality.
- Contributes to interviewing and candidate assessments aligned with organizational needs.
