About Fluidstack

We exist to make humanity more free. For most of human history, you farmed or you starved. Technology gave people more time for the things they wanted to do, instead of things they had to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who don't share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it.

We're singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. We acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them - with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI.

We hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply!

How We Operate

• Be a barrel. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role.

• Insane urgency. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.

• Reason from first principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins.

• Love of the game. The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward.

• Build something that actually matters. If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.

The Commissioning Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on

• Help stand up a Cx program for 10s to 100s of GWs of DCs this decade.

• Develop plans for Cx and QA/QC for first-of-a-kind modular data center designs.

• Drive development and implementation of automated L4/L5 commissioning.

Role Scope

• Supervise controls installation verification and checkout (BMS, EPMS, fire/life-safety interfaces) across L2–L5 commissioning stages on an active data hall.

• Run point-to-point verification and witness functional performance tests with the commissioning authority, vendors, and trade partners.

• Hold the controls schedule: sequence vendor startup, flag slips early against EFA/FA/FR milestones, and drive punch closure.

• Enforce Fluidstack commissioning documentation gates (CX-01–CX-10) and site safety requirements.

• Coordinate day/night shift coverage with the Senior Superintendent and report progress to the Site Lead.

What We're Looking For

The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.

• 5+ years supervising controls or BMS/EPMS work on mission-critical or large industrial projects. Data center commissioning experience is strongly preferred.

• Working command of Tridium/Niagara, ALC, Siemens, or comparable building automation platforms, plus EPMS (Schneider, Eaton, or similar).

• Fluency with sequences of operations, points lists, and one-lines, and able to challenge a vendor’s checkout results from the data.

• Field leadership: shift supervision, trade coordination, and disciplined daily reporting.

• Willingness to deploy to active construction sites on rotation, including night-shift coverage.

Physical Requirements

• Work in non-climate-controlled environments, including active construction areas, data halls, electrical and mechanical rooms, and outdoor spaces. Temperatures can be high or low, and conditions can be humid, loud or dusty.

• Lift, carry, push and pull up to 40 pounds on your own.

• Sit, stand, walk, kneel, bend and crouch for long periods, including full shifts on your feet.

• Wear the required personal protective equipment (PPE), such as hard hats, safety glasses, steel-toed boots, gloves and hearing protection, and follow site safety rules.

• Climb stairs and ladders, and move around equipment, cable trays and uneven surfaces.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
