Director, Commissioning at Bell — NeverHard

Req Id: 431515 Summary Bell’s AI Fabric initiative is pioneering a secure, sovereign AI compute network across Canada. This ambitious portfolio features seven large‑scale, high‑density data centres, anchored by a 500MW British Columbia supercluster and a 300MW flagship site in Regina, Saskatchewan. As a Cx Commissioning Director, you will own the commissioning program at the portfolio level—defining the Cx methodology, standards, and governance that every site executes against to ensure each facility is validated, resilient, and operational‑ready. Rather than commissioning a single building, you'll establish the repeatable, fleet‑wide framework (FAT, SAT, integrated systems testing, Levels 1–5) that guarantees consistent, mission‑critical quality across all builds as the program scales. Key Responsibilities Own the enterprise commissioning (Cx) program strategy across the national data centre portfolio, establishing standardized methodology, standards, and playbooks. Define fleet‑wide commissioning frameworks—FAT, SAT, integrated systems testing (IST), and Levels 1–5 to ensure consistent, repeatable, handover‑ready outcomes. Provide program‑level oversight and technical governance to site‑level MEP/Cx leaders and commissioning agents, ensuring alignment to standards and lessons learned. Establish and manage the commissioning agent (CxA) vendor strategy at the portfolio level, standardizing scopes, quality expectations, and master agreements. Own Cx program‑level scheduling, resourcing, and reporting, providing roll‑up visibility across concurrent site commissioning efforts to Capital Programs leadership. Define quality assurance and validation standards for power, cooling, and resiliency/redundancy systems to mission‑critical performance thresholds. Drive program‑level Cx risk management, change governance, and interdependency management across sites, escalating systemic issues proactively. Establish operational readiness and turnover standards, ensuring seamless, consistent handover from construction to operations across the fleet. Partner cross‑functionally with engineering, site construction, program controls, and operations to integrate commissioning into the broader program lifecycle. Build, mentor, and scale the commissioning program function as the national program grows. Critical Qualifications 15+ years of commissioning leadership on large‑scale capital programs, with direct experience across multiple hyperscale or mission‑critical data centres (100MW+ / multi‑site portfolios preferred). Proven track record establishing commissioning standards, methodologies, and governance at a program or portfolio level—not just single‑site execution. Deep expertise across the full commissioning lifecycle (FAT, SAT, IST, Levels 1–5) and operational readiness/turnover. Strong technical understanding of data centre M&E systems—power, cooling (including high‑density/liquid cooling), redundancy, and resiliency. Experience defining and managing commissioning agent (CxA) vendor strategies and standardized scopes across a fleet. Strong command of program‑level scheduling, resourcing, and reporting (e.g., PrimaveraP6) across concurrent efforts. Demonstrated ability to build and mature a commissioning program function from a formative stage. Exceptional stakeholder management and executive presence, able to influence and challenge senior engineering, construction, and executive leaders. Degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or related Engineering discipline; P.Eng., PMP/PgMP, and commissioning certification (e.g., ACG/CxA, BCxP) strongly preferred. Willingness to travel nationally between build locations and fabrication facilities as the portfolio scales.
