As Senior Commissioning Validation Manager, you will lead commissioning
validation governance for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure data center delivery
programs, ensuring critical electrical, mechanical, controls, life-safety, and
supporting infrastructure systems are tested, validated, documented, and
accepted before operational turnover. This role provides site- and program-level
leadership across commissioning readiness, test execution oversight, issue
resolution, and acceptance quality for new builds, expansions, retrofits, and
high-priority capacity programs.
You will serve as a senior people leader within the Data Center Commissioning
organization, partnering with Construction, Engineering, Site Deployment,
Facilities Operations, Reliability, Security, Network, Supply Chain, and
third-party commissioning agents to drive predictable, safe, and auditable
commissioning outcomes. The role requires deep mission-critical infrastructure
judgment, strong field execution discipline, and the ability to lead managers,
engineers, vendors, and cross-functional stakeholders through complex
commissioning milestones.
This is not a purely administrative project management role. It is a technical
commissioning leadership role responsible for ensuring installed systems perform
as designed, commissioning evidence is complete, risks are surfaced early, and
operational teams receive facilities that are ready to run without latent
defects or unresolved acceptance risk.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead commissioning validation execution across assigned data center sites,
campuses, regions, or major capacity programs, with accountability for
readiness, test governance, quality, safety, and operational acceptance.
* Own commissioning validation standards for L1-L5 activities, including
factory witness testing, pre-functional checks, functional performance
testing, integrated systems testing, failure-mode validation,
sequence-of-operations verification, and turnover documentation.
* Provide technical and management oversight of internal commissioning teams,
commissioning agents, general contractors, trade partners, equipment vendors,
and other third-party service providers.
* Partner with Engineering and Construction teams to review design intent,
submittals, commissioning plans, method statements, test scripts, acceptance
criteria, and system readiness before field execution.
* Ensure commissioning activities validate critical MEP and controls systems,
including medium- and low-voltage power distribution, generators, UPS
systems, switchgear, HVAC, chilled water systems, pumps, BMS, EPMS,
SCADA/DCIM interfaces, fire/life-safety systems, and supporting
infrastructure.
* Drive commissioning schedule integration with construction completion, site
readiness, network deployment, rack energization, operations staffing, CMMS
activation, and customer capacity milestones.
* Identify commissioning risks, blockers, failed test conditions, recurring
deficiencies, documentation gaps, and acceptance issues; drive clear
ownership, escalation, root-cause analysis, corrective action, and closure
discipline.
* Establish portfolio-level reporting for commissioning progress, defect aging,
test completion, system readiness, vendor performance, safety observations,
punch-list health, and operational turnover risk.
* Ensure commissioning deliverables meet OCI standards for safety, quality,
operability, maintainability, security, compliance, and long-term operations
supportability.
* Lead continuous improvement of commissioning playbooks, validation templates,
test-script quality, lessons learned, vendor scorecards, and readiness gates
across the data center delivery lifecycle.
* Develop and coach commissioning managers and senior technical contributors,
building capability, accountability, and consistent execution practices
across the organization.
* Represent commissioning status, risk, and acceptance recommendations to
senior leaders, ensuring executive communications are clear, evidence-based,
and tied to business-critical capacity delivery decisions.
