Commissioning Manager - Data Centres
London | European Travel | Client-Side Developer
Are you an experienced Commissioning Manager looking to move into a genuinely client-side role where you can influence how major data centre projects are designed, commissioned and brought into operation?
I'm working on behalf of an established and growing data centre developer looking to appoint a Commissioning Manager to join its London-based team.
This is much more than a single-project commissioning position. You'll work across a developing portfolio of technically complex data centre projects, providing commissioning expertise from early design and pre-construction through construction, testing, handover and operational environments.
Based in London, the role will involve some international travel, predominantly within Europe , giving you exposure to multiple projects, locations and delivery teams.
The Opportunity
You'll act as a key commissioning specialist within the wider development and delivery team, helping shape the commissioning approach across the portfolio while remaining close to live project delivery.
Working alongside Design, Construction, Project Management, Commercial, Operations, contractors and external commissioning teams, you'll ensure systems are thoroughly tested, integrated and ready for reliable operation.
Your responsibilities will include:
Developing and implementing commissioning strategies across data centre projects
Providing commissioning input during design and pre-construction, ensuring designs are practical, commissionable and maintainable
Reviewing commissioning programmes, milestones, resources, interfaces and dependencies
Overseeing commissioning activities through to final integrated systems testing
Leading and coordinating FAT, SAT and IST activities across critical systems
Reviewing commissioning plans, method statements, ITPs, test scripts and technical documentation
Managing specialist commissioning agents, contractors and vendors
Identifying commissioning risks and working with project teams to resolve technical and programme issues
Managing defects and punch lists through to successful close-out
