Commissioning Manager – Data Centres – Helsinki/Southern Finland

EverHire is now looking for a Commissioning Manager for a fast-growing international data centre developer and operator. The role covers several large data centre projects in Southern Finland. This is a permanent position with a start as soon as possible.

About the role
As Commissioning Manager, you will plan, coordinate and carry out commissioning on several data centre projects in Southern Finland. One project is about to start construction, and the others are moving into the commissioning phase. You will make sure all critical MEP and control systems are fully tested, integrated and handed over to Operations in line with design, technical standards and safety requirements. You will work closely with the Head of Construction, the commissioning team, contractors, vendors and Operations, and you will also travel to supplier sites in Europe for factory acceptance testing (FAT). Your contractual base is Helsinki, but most working days are spent on site. You work Monday to Friday on local employment terms. The company offers a competitive package with an annual bonus and relocation support.

Your main responsibilities

• Support development of the commissioning plan, schedule and test protocols
• Coordinate commissioning with project management, construction, vendors and Operations
• Plan and take part in FAT, SAT, functional testing and Integrated Systems Testing (IST)
• Carry out and witness tests across electrical, mechanical, controls, fire safety and security systems, including HV/MV/LV, UPS, generators, chillers, CRAC/CRAH and BMS/EPMS
• Identify and escalate issues, and support root cause analysis and corrective actions
• Keep commissioning logs, punch lists and test documentation up to date
• Make sure commissioning follows applicable standards and safety rules, including LOTO and safe energisation
• Prepare commissioning documentation and support handover and training for Operations

Who are you?
You are a hands-on commissioning professional with solid data centre experience who enjoys being on site and keeping several projects moving at once. You work independently, communicate clearly and solve problems practically. We think you have:

• At least 2 years of commissioning experience from data centre projects, combined with a solid background from other relevant technical projects or operations
• Strong knowledge of data centre equipment and critical MEP systems
• Experience testing and commissioning electrical, mechanical, controls or fire safety systems
• The ability to read SLDs, P&IDs, schematics and technical drawings
• Experience from a principal contractor, main contractor, developer, operator or consultancy
• A structured way of working and the ability to juggle several priorities at the same time

Qualifications

• A bachelor’s degree in electrical or mechanical engineering, building services or equivalent
• Knowledge of EU electrical and safety standards (knowledge of Finnish SFS standards is a plus)
• Fluent English, spoken and written
• Finnish (a strong merit)
• Ability to work on site most working days, plus some travel in Finland and Europe
