The Fab & Self Perform Commissioning Lead is responsible for commissioning and integration with QA/QC of fabricated and self performed M&E; assemblies produced in the fab shop and installed on data centre projects. This role ensures that modules and assemblies (panels, skids, busway segments, RPPs, whip racks, CDU/pump skids, etc.) leave the shop with a known, tested status and are handed over to field teams with clear remaining test requirements, creating a seamless bridge between fab and field.

Responsibilities

- Define and implement standard test procedures for all fabricated electrical and mechanical assemblies in the shop (visual, torque, continuity, insulation, basic functional checks).
- Own the fab‑side L2/L3 testing scope for self‑performed assemblies, including tagging and documentation of pass/fail results and open items.
- Issue consistent fab Cx reports for each assembly, detailing what was tested, what passed, what was deferred to site, and any defects to be resolved prior to or during install.
- Coordinate with Electrical & Powertrain Cx Lead and Mechanical & Cooling Cx Lead to define fab vs field test splits and ensure no duplication or gaps.
- Work with fab management to monitor and improve first‑pass yield, rework rates, and test failure trends, focusing on impacts to commissioning and schedule.




- Support factory witness testing for modules where the fab shop is involved in integration or pre‑assembly.
- Enforce storage, handling, and protection standards that preserve equipment integrity and commissioning validity.

Qualifications

- Solid electrical foundation with practical experience in panel builds, skids, busway, and modular assemblies, plus willingness to expand into mechanical modules.
- Hands‑on experience with commissioning, QA/QC, or testing in a fabrication, prefab, or mission‑critical environment.
- Ability to design and enforce repeatable test procedures and documentation standards, not just ad hoc checks.
- Comfort working in a shop environment and bridging into field Cx, with an understanding of how shop decisions affect site performance.
- 5+ years in electrical or mechanical fabrication, QA/QC, or commissioning data centres, industrial plants, or similar.
- Experience with prefab/prefabrication programs on large construction projects.
- Familiarity with commissioning and quality tools (Procore, Cx platforms, QA/QC checklists).
- Technical diploma or degree in electrical/mechanical technology or engineering, or equivalent experience.
- Exposure to data centre or mission‑critical environments is a strong plus.
