Responsibilities

The Commissioning / CX Quality Manager is responsible for leading the planning, execution, and verification of commissioning and quality assurance activities across mission‑critical projects. This role ensures that all building systems are installed, tested, and validated in alignment with contract requirements, design intent, manufacturer specifications, and operational readiness standards.

This position embeds commissioning into the National Quality Delivery System, driving predictable outcomes through structured DFOW (Definable Features of Work) planning, Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs), and phased system verification. This role requires regular travel and can be based anywhere within the United States, due to the national footprint of our mission‑critical portfolio.

Commissioning Leadership & Technical Oversight

Develop and lead the commissioning strategy from preconstruction through turnover, aligned with project Quality Plans and commissioning specifications.
Oversee all commissioning phases, including Factory Witness Testing (FWT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), Pre‑Functional Testing, Functional Performance Testing (FPT), and Integrated Systems Testing (IST).
Ensure readiness and performance of critical systems, including electrical (UPS, switchgear, generators), mechanical (cooling, CRAH/CRAC, hydronic systems), controls (BMS/EPMS), and fire/life safety systems.
Validate installation quality against design intent, approved submittals, and shop drawings.

Quality Planning & DFOW Integration

Develop and implement risk‑based DFOW strategies for mission‑critical scopes.
Integrate commissioning requirements into core quality processes, including Preparatory / Pre‑Installation meetings, Work Readiness Reviews, First Work / Initial Inspections, and follow‑up verification.
Align commissioning activities with ITPs, including hold points and witness points.

Field Execution & Verification

Conduct field inspections to verify installation quality, system completeness, and trade coordination.
Identify and resolve deficiencies early using Procore inspections and Observations (CA, NCR, WIP tracking).
Maintain continuous verification to prevent issues from progressing to punch list or turnover.

Operational Readiness & Turnover

Lead system readiness reviews and support Owner operational acceptance.
Review and validate turnover documentation, including O&M manuals, training materials, and maintenance procedures.
Confirm systems meet performance, redundancy, and reliability requirements prior to turnover.

Issue Resolution & Risk Management

Provide technical support during system testing, startup, and commissioning.
Lead root cause analysis for system failures or performance issues.
Coordinate corrective actions with trade partners and commissioning stakeholders.

Stakeholder Coordination

Partner with Owner commissioning agents (CxA), design teams, and trade partners to align on commissioning scope, sequencing, and acceptance criteria.
Ensure consistent expectations across all subcontractor tiers.

Leadership & Capability Building

Mentor project teams (Project Managers, Superintendents, QC Managers) on commissioning processes and system quality standards.
Reinforce trade partner accountability for commissioning deliverables.
Promote knowledge sharing and best practices across projects and regions.
