Senior Mechanical Commissioning Agent

Location: Charlotte, NC 

Want to work on the most advanced facilities in the country?

If you're looking for more than repetitive field work and want to be part of bringing mission critical facilities to life, this opportunity is worth a conversation.

We're partnering with a nationally recognized engineering consulting firm seeking a Senior Mechanical Commissioning Agent to lead the testing, validation, optimization, and turnover of complex mechanical systems for some of the nation's most technically demanding projects.

From hyperscale data centers and healthcare campuses to pharmaceutical manufacturing and critical infrastructure, you'll work alongside owners, contractors, design engineers, and operations teams to ensure every system performs exactly as intended.

Why Engineers Make the Move
