Data Centre Commissioning & Controls Recruitment

Commissioning is where design intent becomes operational reality. In mission-critical environments, systems must not only be installed correctly they must be tested, integrated and proven to perform under normal operation, failure scenarios and changing loads.

We recruit the commissioning engineers, controls specialists, integration professionals and technical leaders responsible for taking critical infrastructure from installation through testing, integrated systems commissioning and final handover.

Commissioning & Controls Expertise

Our recruitment network covers the commissioning lifecycle across mechanical, electrical, controls and integrated systems, supporting projects from factory testing and installation verification through functional testing, integrated systems testing and operational readiness.

We recruit professionals with experience across FAT and SAT, functional performance testing, system start-up, commissioning documentation, cause-and-effect testing, BMS, EPMS, PLC/SCADA systems, controls integration and Integrated Systems Testing (IST).

This includes specialists working across critical infrastructure such as UPS systems, generators, switchgear, electrical distribution, chillers, CRAH/CRAC systems, pumps, cooling systems and associated BMS and EPMS controls.

As data centre infrastructure becomes increasingly complex, the ability to successfully integrate mechanical, electrical and controls systems is critical to proving resilience before a facility enters live operation.

Specialist Roles

Leotec recruits across commissioning, controls, systems integration and senior leadership, including:

• Mechanical Commissioning Engineers
• Electrical Commissioning Engineers
• Commissioning Engineers
• Commissioning Managers
• Senior Commissioning Managers
• Commissioning Leads
• Commissioning Authorities (CxA)
• Commissioning Agents
• BMS Engineers
• BMS Commissioning Engineers
• Controls Engineers
• EPMS Engineers
• PLC / SCADA Engineers
• Controls Integration Engineers
• Systems Integration Specialists
• IST Engineers / Leads
• Commissioning Project Managers
• Commissioning Directors
• Heads of Commissioning
• Technical Directors

From an individual commissioning specialist through to building complete commissioning teams, our search is structured around the technical systems, project stage, commissioning scope and level of responsibility required by the client.

From Component Testing to Integrated Systems

Data centre commissioning requires professionals who understand more than individual pieces of equipment.

We recruit specialists involved throughout the commissioning process — from equipment-level testing and verification through system commissioning, controls integration and Integrated Systems Testing — helping clients identify professionals capable of proving that critical infrastructure operates as a complete, resilient system.

That can include experience with failure scenarios, redundancy testing, load testing, sequence-of-operations verification and the interaction between mechanical, electrical and controls infrastructure.

Controls & Systems Integration

Modern data centres depend heavily on sophisticated controls and monitoring infrastructure.

Leotec recruits professionals working across BMS, EPMS, PLC, SCADA and associated control systems, connecting the physical mechanical and electrical infrastructure with the platforms used to monitor, control and optimise facility performance.

We support searches for engineers and leaders involved in controls design, software and integration, commissioning, troubleshooting, optimisation and handover.

Who We Partner With

Leotec works across the data centre commissioning ecosystem, supporting:

Data centre developers and operators, Colocation providers, Hyperscale supply chains, Commissioning consultancies, Commissioning agents, General contractors, MEP contractors, Engineering consultancies, Controls integrators, BMS / EPMS providers , OEMs, Specialist technology vendors

We understand that commissioning recruitment requires more than identifying someone with “Cx” on their CV.

The right individual may need experience with a particular commissioning stage, electrical or mechanical system, controls platform, project scale or live mission-critical environment. Our search is built around those technical requirements.
