You’ll find belonging, purpose, and a team that welcomes you—because when you feel valued, you’re empowered to do your best work.
At Equinix, commissioning is about more than validating systems. It is about ensuring that some of the world’s most critical digital infrastructure is ready to perform safely, reliably, and efficiently from day one.
As Senior Manager, Commissioning , you will lead the planning and execution of commissioning across large-scale greenfield data center developments and complex retrofit projects within live, mission-critical environments. You will partner across Construction, Operations, Engineering, customers, contractors, consultants, and equipment vendors to ensure new capacity is tested, validated, and ready for operation.
This is a highly visible role for a commissioning leader who enjoys solving complex technical challenges, influencing cross-functional teams, developing strong vendor partnerships, and driving consistency across multiple projects.
