Commissioning Manager

Job DescriptionJob Description

Our client, the leader in NETA testing and staff augmentation to the mission-critical industry, is searching for a Commissioning Manager to join our Fargo, ND team.

They're looking for a hands-on technical leader with proven commissioning experience in data center or mission-critical environments, ready to take full ownership of complex commissioning efforts in the field.

What You'll Do:

  • Develop and manage a comprehensive commissioning plan and integrated schedule covering inspection, startup, testing, and closeout phases
  • Lead commissioning field activities and direct internal teams, subcontractors, and vendors while ensuring safety compliance with NFPA 70E and LOTO requirements
  • Implement and oversee commissioning management software — BIM360, ACC Build, and CxAlloy — to track documentation and execution
  • Coordinate with the client and client's commissioning agent to define project-specific requirements, test scripts, and turnover documentation
  • Manage technical reviews, including MEP systems, QA/QC coordination, load bank planning, equipment startup, and factory witness testing
  • Act as subject matter expert in design reviews, scope matrix development, budgeting, and script feasibility for high-performance building systems

What You Bring:

  • 6+ years of experience in commissioning electrical systems in data centers or mission-critical facilities.
  • Proven experience commissioning data centers or mission-critical facilities — required
  • Strong understanding of power distribution, redundancy, and reliability requirements in data center environments.
  • Familiarity with electrical testing and commissioning tools such as power meters, infrared thermography, and breaker test sets.
  • Experience with commissioning processes, including Level 1-5 commissioning (Cx) per ASHRAE guidelines.
  • Proficiency with AutoCAD, SKM, ETAP, and other electrical design and analysis software is a plus.
  • Must be able to work on-site full-time in Fargo, ND.

Why this role:

You own the commissioning effort here — plan, schedule, field execution, turnover. Not administering someone else's.

The client leads NETA testing for the mission-critical industry, so this is electrical-first commissioning: power distribution, redundancy, load bank, factory witness. If that's your background, the fit is rare.
