ABOUT HUT 8
Imagine the ultimate destination for those who want to work at the cutting edge of technology, energy, and infrastructure. Hut 8 is on a mission to build and operate some of the world's largest data centers for next-generation computing workloads, including AI, Colocation, Cloud, and Bitcoin Mining. We are proud to offer interesting and challenging opportunities for individuals who want to build teams, solve problems, and make an impact from day one. If you're an ambitious individual looking for a career that is as rewarding as it is challenging, you've come to the right place.
ABOUT THE ROLE
The Field Manager (CXQC) leads commissioning and quality control on behalf of Managed Services for a data center build, verifying systems are installed, tested, and turned over to operational standards. Construction's job is done when the building is built; this role's job is done when operations can run it - and the gap between those two is exactly what CXQC exists to close. Some of the key responsibilities you should expect are the following: Commissioning Program Leadership Own site execution of the Level 1-5 commissioning program: Cx schedule development with the Planner/Scheduler, script and procedure review, prerequisite verification, test witnessing coordination, and daily Cx execution management across electrical, mechanical, and controls systems. SME Team Coordination Direct the day-to-day work of the Electrical, Mechanical, and Controls SMEs: witness assignments, design-review priorities, and issue ownership - one coordinated operations voice into the project rather than three. Quality Control Enforce installation quality standards and hold points with construction: QC walkdowns at defined milestones, installation verification against IFC and vendor requirements, and a managed Cx/QC issues log with aging discipline and closure verification. Integrated Systems Testing Lead planning and execution of integrated systems testing: failure scenarios, pull-the-plug sequences, and full-load validation - with utility, vendor, and operations participation coordinated in advance and results documented to acceptance criteria. Turnover to Operations Verify turnover packages meet Managed Services standards: test records, settings files, O&Ms, as-builts, training completion, spare parts, and maintenance-program inputs. Run system-by-system turnover acceptance and drive open items to zero before operational handover. Stakeholder Coordination & Reporting Coordinate commissioning agents, NETA firms, OEM technicians, trade partners, and the construction team; report Cx progress, risks, and readiness to project leadership and Managed Services with equal candor. |
ABOUT YOU
- What we're looking for: - 7+ years in data center or mission-critical commissioning, quality, or critical facilities leadership roles. - Command of Level 1-5 commissioning processes, integrated systems testing design, and turnover documentation standards. - Cross-system fluency: electrical (switchgear, generators, UPS), mechanical (chilled water, air/liquid cooling), and BMS/EPMS. - Experience directing commissioning agents, NETA testing firms, and OEM field service teams. - QC program experience with construction hold points and installation verification. - Operations-first judgment - you accept systems on behalf of the people who will run them at 3 a.m. - Strong issue-management and reporting discipline; the Cx log is current or the day isn't over. - CxA, CCP, or equivalent commissioning credential a plus; trade or engineering background welcome. - Full-time on-site role through commissioning and stabilization. |
ABOUT THE WORK ENVIRONMENT
Full-time site-based role on St. Francisville, LA or Corpus Christi, TX.
