About This Role

As a Staff Commissioning Engineer, you will serve as the primary point of accountability for commissioning activities across your assigned data center projects. You will own the full commissioning lifecycle — from factory witness testing through integrated systems testing and formal turnover — ensuring all electrical, and EPMS systems are delivered in alignment with design intent, Owner Project Requirements, and Crusoe's operational readiness standards. This role requires deep technical expertise, strong cross-functional coordination, and the ability to manage third-party commissioning agents and vendors with minimal oversight. (#INDDIG)
