My client is looking for a Mechanical Commissioning Lead who can take ownership of mechanical commissioning delivery across a large-scale data centre project and drive systems through to successful handover.

This is a leadership role for someone who understands that commissioning isn't just testing equipment — it's managing people, vendors, documentation, programme and client expectations simultaneously.

You'll become the focal point for all mechanical commissioning activities and play a critical role in ensuring systems are delivered safely, correctly and on programme.

 

Location: Milan

Excellent Salary & Tax Free European Living allowance

  • Developing and implementing commissioning plans
  • Reviewing technical submittals, drawings and specifications
  • Managing commissioning schedules and system boundaries
  • Coordinating specialist vendors and subcontractors
  • Leading client commissioning meetings
  • Managing commissioning trackers and reporting
  • Overseeing walkdowns, tag walks and system sign-off
  • Reviewing and approving commissioning documentation
  • Managing snagging and closeout activities
  • Supporting training and handover activities
  • Identifying commissioning risks before they impact programme

 

Leadership Responsibilities

  • Mentor and develop junior commissioning engineers
  • Coordinate multiple commissioning stakeholders
  • Drive quality standards across all testing activities
  • Ensure commissioning documentation meets client requirements
  • Work closely with PM and commercial teams on programme and variation impacts

 

What They're Looking For

  • Proven commissioning leadership experience
  • Strong mechanical systems background
  • Experience managing vendors and client interfaces
  • Excellent organisational and reporting skills
  • Ability to lead commissioning activities on complex projects
  • Data centre experience advantageous but not essential
