LotusWorks is seeking an experienced Electrical Commissioning Lead to support the commissioning of critical electrical systems within a large-scale data center environment. This role will lead electrical commissioning activities from design review and equipment startup through functional performance testing, Integrated Systems Testing (IST), and final turnover. The position will focus on MV/LV switchgear, transformers, generators, UPS systems, ATS/STS, PDUs, busway, EPMS/SCADA, and related electrical distribution systems. The successful candidate will lead Cx engineers and technicians while coordinating with electrical contractors, NETA testing firms, controls integrators, OEM representatives, and the broader commissioning team to ensure systems are tested, issues are resolved, and the facility is ready for operations.

Responsibilities:

Planning & pre-construction

• Review electrical design documents (one-lines, schedules, specs, protection/coordination study, arc flash study) for commission ability, testing access, and constructability.
• Develop the electrical section of the Cx Plan, including test sequencing, prerequisites, and Level 1–5 scope definitions.
• Write or review electrical Cx specifications and Division 26 Cx requirements.
• Define and track factory witness testing (FWT) requirements for switchgear, gens, UPS, PDUs, STS, ATS, busway.
• Coordinate with NETA-certified testing contractor scope; establish the boundary between NETA acceptance testing and Cx functional testing.
• Build the electrical Cx schedule and integrate it into the master schedule; identify long-lead test equipment (load banks, primary injection sets) and utility coordination milestones.

Test script development

• Author or approve Level 3 (start-up), Level 4 (functional performance), and Level 5 (IST) scripts for: MV/LV switchgear, transformers, generators and paralleling gear, ATS/STS, UPS and batteries, PDUs/RPPs, busway, lighting controls, grounding/bonding, EPMS/SCADA, fire alarm interface, and metering.
• Define pass/fail criteria tied to the Basis of Design and OPR (transfer times, voltage/frequency tolerances, battery runtime, protection settings).
