Deep mechanical expertise in the commissioning of chillers, dry coolers, fan coil units, pumps, cooling towers, and HVAC systems in redundant, live-environment data center facilities.
Hands-on working knowledge of electrical and controls systems — including switchgear, UPS, generators, BMS, and EPMS — sufficient to lead integrated MEP commissioning activities and cross-discipline coordination.
Prior experience on the owner's rep or client side, providing a distinct ability to anticipate owner expectations, interpret acceptance criteria, and align field execution with client priorities.
