About the role

As Head of Data Center Commissioning at Giga, you own that outcome across our entire portfolio of AI data center infrastructure and development, not one building at a time. You'll build and lead the commissioning function — setting the standards, staffing the team, and running the program that ensures every facility we deliver passes from construction to live operation without surprises.

What they're looking for

  • 10+ years of experience in commissioning, with 5+ years managing or leading a team of Cx professionals across multiple concurrent projects
  • Demonstrated experience commissioning mission-critical, data center, or large-scale industrial facilities at a program or portfolio level, not just single-project execution
  • Track record building or significantly scaling a commissioning function, standard, or team from the ground up
  • Deep working knowledge of MEP and electrical systems — generators, UPS, switchgear, cooling infrastructure, BMS/controls — sufficient to set standards and adjudicate technical disputes
  • Experience managing commissioning budgets and vendor/subcontractor relationships across multiple simultaneous projects
  • Strong track record presenting to and advising executive or ownership-level stakeholders on program risk and status
More about this role

Giga is building gigawatts of AI data centers to hasten a future of intelligence and abundance.

  • The Team: A team of operators defining the future of AI infrastructure. We recruit A-players from the most innovative companies in the world, and they choose Giga because the work here means more.
  • The Moment : AI doesn't run without power, and that's us. Giga is the picks and shovels behind the AI revolution. This industry is about to explode, and you'll be in the room where it's already happening.
