With a significant portfolio of projects secured for the next 5+ years, this is an excellent opportunity for an experienced commissioning professional looking for long-term stability, career progression and the chance to work on technically advanced data centre projects.
The Opportunity
As Mechanical Commissioning Lead, you'll take ownership of the mechanical commissioning process from planning through to final system sign-off.
You'll work closely with project management, engineering, planning and commercial teams, while coordinating specialist vendors and commissioning engineers to ensure systems are delivered safely, efficiently and to the required client standards.
Key Responsibilities
Develop and implement detailed mechanical commissioning plans
Review IFC drawings, specifications and technical submittals
Coordinate commissioning activities with planners, package engineers and specialist vendors
Attend client commissioning meetings and maintain project alignment
Define system boundaries, benchmarks and commissioning requirements
Review and approve commissioning checklists, scripts, test packs and documentation
Coordinate and witness commissioning activities
Lead system walkdowns, tag walks and system sign-off
Manage commissioning trackers, logs and weekly progress reports
Identify, manage and close out commissioning snags
Coordinate specialist vendors and ensure activities remain aligned with programme
Ensure client training is completed on schedule
Identify commissioning risks and communicate potential programme impacts
Work alongside Project Management and Commercial teams on commissioning-related matters
Mentor and support junior commissioning engineers
What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who can take genuine ownership of commissioning and operate confidently within a large, fast-paced construction environment.
You should have:
Strong mechanical commissioning experience
Previous experience leading commissioning activities or teams
Experience delivering large-scale, complex engineering or construction projects
Strong understanding of mechanical systems, testing and commissioning processes
Experience coordinating specialist subcontractors and vendors
Ability to interpret drawings, specifications and technical documentation
Strong organisational and reporting skills
Excellent communication skills
A proactive approach to identifying issues and driving them through to resolution
Data centre experience is highly advantageous, although candidates with strong mechanical commissioning leadership experience from other mission-critical or technically complex environments will also be considered.
What's On Offer?
Salary up to €120,000
Permanent position
Long-term project pipeline of 5+ years
Major data centre projects in Germany
Opportunity to work on leading-edge engineering projects
Career development and leadership opportunities
International project environment
