Senior Manager, Commissioning (Data Centers)

As Senior Manager, Commissioning at Galaxy's Helios campus in Afton, TX, you lead all commissioning efforts across the campus on behalf of Galaxy as owner and developer. You report to the VP, Campus Construction Manager and manage a team of three Commissioning Managers, each assigned to a data center facility. You work with the general contractor's on-site team, Galaxy's third-party commissioning agent, and partners across Construction, Pre-Construction, Design Engineering, and Operations to ensure every facility is installed, tested, and proven to design intent before handoff to operations for customer service.

What you'll do

• Own campus commissioning as Galaxy's single point of accountability, from design intent review through Level 1-5 commissioning, integrated systems testing (IST), and turnover to operations. Set and enforce campus-wide standards and quality bars.
• Manage three Commissioning Managers, each embedded at a data center facility. Standardize methods and reporting, balance resources across facilities, and develop talent.
• Own the campus commissioning plan and its alignment to the Owner's Project Requirements and Basis of Design, including acceptance criteria, test standards, and readiness gates. Ensure these are written into GC, trade, and OEM scopes.
• Review and approve test scripts, sequences of operation, and IST scenarios across critical power, mechanical cooling, and BAS/EPMS controls and telemetry. Ensure testing proves design intent, redundancy, and failure-mode response.
• Integrate commissioning into the Primavera P6 master schedule and work daily with the GC's commissioning lead and trade partners to confirm readiness, resourcing, and OEM startup support. Hold the GC accountable through readiness reviews, deficiency tracking, and commercial remedies.
• Manage the scope and performance of Galaxy's third-party commissioning agent, challenge findings, and maintain a campus-level issues log. Drive every item through root cause, corrective action, and retest to closure.
• Plan utility energization and load bank testing, enforcing safe work during energized testing in partnership with EHS. Align OFCI equipment delivery, factory testing, and manufacturer startup with the commissioning sequence. Adapt the commissioning sequence and author MOPs to complete Level 4-5 and IST activities after early data hall turnover without lowering acceptance criteria.
• Partner with Galaxy Operations and customer delivery teams on documentation, training, operating procedures, witnessed testing, and formal turnover, ensuring each facility meets acceptance criteria at handoff.
• Provide candid readiness reporting to the VP and senior leadership on readiness, risk, and forecast. Feed lessons learned into design standards, specifications, and Pre-Construction planning.
• Ensure the BAS, EPMS, and associated controls are commissioned as a system, not just as individual points lists. Verify point-to-point integrity, alarm and trend configuration, and operator visibility across all critical power and mechanical systems, including through failure scenarios such as loss of utility, loss of a controls network or server, communication failure, and transfer events. Confirm that telemetry remains accurate and actionable so Operations can see, diagnose, and respond to any failure while redundancy is maintained.

What you bring

• A Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent experience.
• 10+ years of experience commissioning mission-critical facilities, including 5+ years on large-scale data centers, with at least 3 years in a leadership role directing commissioning through Level 5 / IST.
• Demonstrated success leading commissioning across multiple concurrent facilities on a single campus.
• Experience managing and developing commissioning managers or engineers.
• Deep technical knowledge of critical power systems, including medium- and low-voltage distribution, protective relaying, UPS, batteries, generators, and transfer systems.
• Deep technical knowledge of mechanical cooling systems, including chilled water plants, heat rejection, air handling, pumps, and associated controls.
• Working knowledge of BMS, EPMS, and SCADA architectures, sequences of operation, and fire and life safety system integration.
• Experience developing, executing, and witnessing IST, including failure-mode and fault scenarios.
• Familiarity with ASHRAE Guideline 0, NETA acceptance testing standards, NFPA 70E, and NFPA 110.
• Experience directing GC commissioning teams and third-party commissioning agents, with strong command of test documentation, issue tracking, and P6 schedule integration.
• Familiarity with Procore, Primavera P6, Bluebeam, SharePoint, and commissioning management platforms.
• Full-time, on-site presence at Helios (Afton, TX).
• A track record of leading and developing high-performing technical teams.
• The conviction to hold readiness gates under schedule pressure, backed by data and clear communication.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence technical and executive stakeholders.
• Sound judgment under pressure and a bias toward early, honest escalation.
• A commitment to safety, rigor, and executional excellence.
