- Own technical sign-offs that cross project boundaries, and maintain exceptional customer communication that builds confidence in 's delivery.
- Maintain comprehensive understanding of building systems — cooling and heat rejection, hydronics, BMS/controls, and electrical interfaces —including how mechanical plant performance impacts data center availability and thermal reliability.
- Own the development and continuous improvement of the commissioning program: create, pilot, deploy, and validate new and improved processes, standards, and governance documents (e.g., FWT program, deficiency management, script library governance).
- Conduct QA audits and drive root cause analysis on systemic issues; establish the frameworks by which program quality is measured and improved.
- Define what "good" looks like across the L0–L6 lifecycle and drive adoption of improvements across portfolio.
