Senior Electrical Commissioning Engineer - Data Center Construction

FST Technical Services • Los Angeles, CA • 3h ago

Lead the Systems That Power Critical Infrastructure

At FST Technical Services, we ensure the most complex facilities in the world perform exactly as designed. From data centers to advanced manufacturing environments, our work sits at the intersection of engineering precision and real-world execution.

We are looking for a Senior Electrical Commissioning Project Engineer who can lead from the front, solve complex technical challenges, and drive commissioning outcomes in high-stakes environments.

Why This Role Stands Out

This is not a checklist-driven commissioning role.

This is a position for someone who:

Owns outcomes, not just tasks

Understands systems holistically, not in silos

Can operate independently while leading others

You will play a direct role in ensuring critical systems are designed correctly, installed properly, and perform under real-world conditions.

Interpret contract documents to identify risks and opportunities

Technical Expertise & Problem Solving

Evaluate electrical distribution systems and building system interconnectivity

Troubleshoot system performance issues in real time

Review design documentation and submittals

Client & Stakeholder Engagement

Lead commissioning meetings and communicate findings

Serve as a trusted partner to clients and contractors

Operational Contributions

Complete field reports, documentation, and time management

Support scheduling and revenue targets

Team Development

Mentor junior engineers and support training initiatives

What You Bring

Core Qualifications

Electrical Engineering degree or Qualified Electrician background

7+ years in electrical systems OR 3+ years commissioning

Data center or mission-critical experience

Technical Capabilities

Experience with electrical distribution, HVAC systems, controls, fire alarm, and automation

Ability to read construction drawings and specifications

Professional Skills

Strong analytical and communication skills

Ability to lead meetings and manage multiple priorities

Physical Requirements

Ability to work in field environments, climb ladders, and lift ~30 lbs

Preferred

EIT, CEM, LEED, OSHA 30, BIM experience

Travel Requirements

Regular travel to project sites with potential for broader U.S. travel. Must be able to work on-site as required.

Why FST

At FST, you are part of a team that values execution, accountability, and expertise. Strong performers are recognized, and engineers have opportunities to grow into leadership roles

Salary range: $130,000 to $180,000
