Volta · London, UK
About Volta Volta is the category-defining, fully vertically integrated AI infrastructure platform – from capital to clusters to software, under a founder-led enterprise. Our mission is The Utility of Compute™: AI infrastructure as dependable and available as electricity, for every organization that needs it. Launched with a $10B strategic partnership with one of the leading frontier AI labs, a Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz, and a $5B AI Infrastructure Fund, Volta is building the infrastructure layer of the AI era from the ground up. We are 100+ people across London, Palo Alto, and New York, with rapid growth expectations to hundreds. About The Role Commissioning is where an AI factory becomes real. As Senior Director, Global Commissioning & Handover, you will lead commissioning of DSX facilities and network across all of Volta's sites, taking each one to ready for service and handing it over to our operations teams. You will build and lead a global team that owns Volta's commissioning standards for electrical, mechanical and CDU scopes, systems security, commissioning planning, facilities readiness and operational readiness. Your team sets how commissioning is done on every site, from tagging through to the turn-up sequence, and holds the schedule that takes each facility live. Time to market matters here. You will align commissioning to the turn-up sequence so that commissioning accelerates service rather than delays it, and you will make sure that when a building is handed over, the operations team, the procedures and the systems are ready to run it.

Deliver the physical and systems security requirements for each site from construction through tohandover. Set the facilities readiness and operational readiness standards and governance, so each facility is ready for operations and the operations team is ready to run it. Lead handover into service, working with DC Operations on acceptance, documentation and training. Work with Design and Engineering, the regional delivery teams and the DSX execution and network teams so commissioning is integrated into the master schedule on every site. Report commissioning progress and risk across sites, and feed lessons learned back into the standards and the reference design. What You Bring Experience leading commissioning of hyperscale data centres, including electrical, mechanical and liquid cooling systems. Data centre experience is essential. A track record owning commissioning and handover across multiple concurrent sites at this level, and the ability to run it from day one.

Experience building and leading commissioning teams and managing commissioning agents and contractors. Understanding of physical and systems security requirements in mission critical facilities.
