Full Job Description
Commissioning Program & Data Engineer

The Commissioning Program & Data Engineer is responsible for turning the commissioning and OFCI effort into a controlled, data driven program. This role maintains the commissioning plan and L level matrix, tracks test execution and defects, and produces meaningful status and analytics that give leadership and owners a clear view of readiness and risk while capturing data to improve future projects.

What You Will Be Working On

Own the commissioning plan and matrix: systems, levels (L1–L3, track L4 & L5), responsibilities, and status.

Track execution of tests and commissioning milestones, ensuring that reported progress reflects actual test results and readiness, not just scheduled activities.

Maintain structured issue logs for commissioning and OFCI, assigning owners, deadlines, and tracking closure.

Build and maintain Cx dashboards and reports for internal leadership and the owner, highlighting critical path items, blockers, and residual risks.

Capture and analyze commissioning data: durations, failure rates, retest counts, vendor performance, to inform continuous improvement and future project planning.

Support documentation of commissioning artifacts: test scripts, reports, turnover packages, lessons learned.

Work closely with all Cx leads (OFCI, Fab, Electrical, Mechanical, Controls) to ensure data and status reflect reality in the field and fab.

What We Are Looking For

Strong analytical and organizational skills, with experience in project controls, data analysis, or program management, ideally in construction or commissioning.

Ability to understand commissioning concepts (L‑levels, pre‑functional vs functional vs IST) and translate them into practical schedules and status metrics.

Comfortable working with technical teams and translating field reality into clean, actionable data and reports.

High attention to detail and a bias toward fact‑based reporting rather than optimistic narratives.

Strong communication skills for creating concise, executive‑friendly views of complex information.

5+ years in project controls, data analysis, commissioning program support, or similar roles on large construction or infrastructure projects.

Understanding of scheduling tools (Primavera/MSP), Cx platforms, and reporting/BI tools (Excel, Power BI, similar).

Background in engineering, construction management, or a technical discipline is preferred.

Prior exposure to data centre or mission‑critical environments is a plus.
