A private firm owned by a group controlling $6 billion in assets, with a 15-year tenure in technology and real estate development, Prime provides customers with ownership options and dynamic leasing models, defining a true corporate partnership.\nAbout the role\nThe Commissioning (Cx) Program Engineer, CxE, is the project-level administrator of Prime's global commissioning program across a regional portfolio. The CxE owns the entire commissioning lifecycle for each project in the designated region, from RFP to turnover.\nThis is an owner's-representative role: rather than executing testing on site, you enforce the standards, govern the commissioning lifecycle, integrate commissioning with construction and design teams, and drive third-party commissioning agents (CxAs) and project teams toward on-time, defect-free turnovers to Operations. You are accountable for the management, quality, schedule, and closeout of commissioning processes.\nThe CxE is part of the global commissioning team, coordinating closely with leadership and the other regional CxEs to drive success. Prime is strategically placing Cx management personnel in each of its domestic development hubs: Denver, Phoenix, Chicago, Dallas, and Austin.\nWhat you'll do\nEnforce Prime's commissioning standards, templates, and processes - including commissioning plans, installation and pre-functional checklists, functional performance tests, IST scripts, and issues/closeout logs.\nCoordinate closely with leadership to refine corporate standards and processes.\nOwn and oversee the L2-L5 commissioning lifecycle framework for the campus.\nBe an expert on project specifics and requirements, ensuring each project is scoped and executed properly.\nDevelop and execute contracts for Cx services, from RFP development, budgeting, scheduling through completion and turnover. Analyze and approve change orders and equipment costs.\nIntegrate with Prime’s Quality department to support assurance and consistency.\nSupport other CxEs and projects, occasional travel to other campuses and to the Denver Office.\nEstablish and track program-level KPIs (schedule adherence, issue resolution rates, turnover quality, etc.) and perform regular reporting to leadership.\nMonitor and support the project through its entire lifecycle from a commissioning perspective: contractor and vendor selection, drawing package development, equipment selection and procurement, etc.\nProvide oversight and technical direction to project teams, contractors, and third-party CxA vendors across multiple simultaneous projects.\nIntegrate the commissioning schedule with design, procurement, and construction milestones; identify and mitigate schedule risks before they affect commissioning or turnover.\nOversee pre-functional and functional testing of MEP systems and lead/govern integrated systems testing (IST), including failure-mode and load-bank scenarios, utility-loss simulations, UPS/generator/ATS switchovers, cooling-plant sequencing, and BMS/EPMS responses, etc.\nDrive issues identification, triage, and resolution to closure; ensure root-cause tracking rather than symptomatic fixes. Contribute to and maintain Lessons Learned documentation, with frequent revisiting and presentations to leadership and other project teams.\nScope, select, onboard, and manage third-party CxA providers in coordination with leadership; track, review, and approve deliverables, schedules, testing scripts, and reports. Direct and course-correct as necessary to adhere to schedule, budget, and quality expectations.\nServe as the commissioning point of contact for construction/development teams, design engineers, contractors, equipment vendors, and customers, as applicable.\nCoordinate with the site Operations teams to ensure a clean handover, training, and operational readiness.\nEnsure complete, auditable commissioning documentation and final Cx reports for each project.\nOwn closeout and turnover packages; confirm operations training and as-built/record documentation are in place before handover.\nSupport commissioning budgeting, forecasting, and cost controls across the program.\nContribute to strategic planning to build, mentor, and scale the commissioning team as the company grows.\nQualifications\nBachelor’s degree in mechanical, electrical, or related engineering discipline - or equivalent mission critical/data center experience in lieu of degree.\n8+ years in commissioning, MEP engineering, or mission-critical construction, including 5+ years successfully delivering data center projects.\nDemonstrated experience managing multiple concurrent projects and/or leading commissioning teams.\nWorking knowledge of the full L0-L5 mission critical commissioning lifecycle.\nStrong command of/subject matter expertise in mission-critical MEP systems - power distribution, UPSs, generators, switchgear/ATSs, chilled-water and air/liquid cooling systems, controls (BMS/EPMS), and fire/life safety, etc.\nAbility to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, sequences of operations, and contracts.\nFamiliarity with applicable standards, codes, and best practices (e.g., ASHRAE, NEC/NFPA, etc.).\nExcellent written and verbal communication; able to lead triage calls, present status to leadership, and hold vendors accountable.\nComfort executing responsibilities in a professional leadership role while acting as a representative of Prime\nWilling and able to travel to project sites (domestic; international as the portfolio requires).\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience with hyperscale and high-density AI/GPU data center applications, including air/liquid/DTC thermal management systems.\nOwner's representative or owner/developer-side commissioning experience.\nProfessional and commissioning certifications (e.g., ACG CxA, BCxP, EIT, PE, etc.).\nExperience building and standardizing a commissioning program across a growing portfolio.\nFinancial acumen: budgeting, forecasting, and cost management.\nBenefits\nCompetitive salary range and performance bonus program, $120,000 - $170,000 + Annual Bonus, depending on experience and work location\n401k fully vested upon enrollment, up to a 4% employer match\n100% employee premiums paid by employer for medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and disability\nPaid Time Off + Sick time\nPhysical & Travel Requirements\nAbility to conduct site walks in active construction and data hall environments, including navigating stairs, ladders, and elevated areas.\nTravel to external project sites and Denver Office estimated at 20%, varying with the active project pipeline and needs across different regions and employee location.\nApplications will be accepted on an ongoing basis.\nPrime is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
