About the role

OpenAI is seeking a Commissioning Program Manager to build and scale the operating systems behind OpenAI’s infrastructure commissioning programs, focusing on standards, processes, tools, dashboards, and KPIs across the infrastructure portfolio.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain commissioning program standards, playbooks, process maps, templates, checklists, stage gates, and acceptance criteria across infrastructure projects.
  • Establish consistent workflows for commissioning planning, construction readiness, QA/QC, issue management, document control, testing evidence, turnover, and lessons learned.
  • Define and maintain commissioning KPIs, dashboards, and scorecards that provide visibility into readiness, inspection completion, deficiencies, test progress, data quality, and turnover health.
  • Own requirements and operating workflows across commissioning trackers, construction management platforms, QA/QC systems, spreadsheets, and business intelligence tools.
  • Partner closely with commissioning and construction leads to translate field execution needs into practical processes and tools that can scale across projects.
  • Monitor adoption, data quality, and effectiveness of commissioning standards and tools; identify gaps and drive improvements as project and portfolio needs evolve.
  • Establish reporting cadences and develop executive-ready reporting that clearly communicates commissioning health, trends, blockers, risks, and decisions required.
  • Pilot new standards, processes, metrics, and tools on active projects, incorporate field feedback, and scale successful approaches across the infrastructure portfolio.
  • Partner with data, analytics, and tooling teams to improve automation, source-of-truth alignment, data integrity, and reporting reliability.
  • Drive continuous improvement by capturing lessons learned from project execution and incorporating them into future commissioning standards, workflows, dashboards, and KPIs.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in program management, project management, construction management, engineering, commissioning, facilities, project controls, or infrastructure delivery.
  • Hands-on experience working in construction or complex infrastructure environments, with an understanding of how field work is planned, coordinated, tracked, documented, tested, and turned over.
  • Experience developing or improving program standards, SOPs, process maps, playbooks, templates, trackers, stage gates, or operating rhythms used by project teams.
  • Strong comfort with data, metrics, dashboards, and reporting, including the ability to define meaningful KPIs, identify data-quality issues, and translate project information into actionable insights.
  • Working knowledge of commissioning, QA/QC, inspections, deficiency management, testing documentation, readiness reviews, or turnover processes; direct commissioning experience is strongly preferred.
  • Experience with construction, commissioning, project management, or analytics platforms such as Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, CxAlloy, Bluebeam, Smartsheet, Excel or Google Sheets, Looker, Tableau, Power BI, or similar tools.
  • Strong systems thinking with the ability to simplify complex workflows, establish clear ownership, and design processes that work for both field teams and program leadership.
  • Demonstrated ability to drive process and tooling adoption across multidisciplinary stakeholders without relying on formal authority.
  • Experience building dashboards, scorecards, KPI frameworks, or reporting systems for construction, commissioning, project controls, infrastructure operations, or PMO organizations is preferred.
  • Experience with mission-critical infrastructure, data centers, manufacturing, energy, healthcare, laboratories, or other complex technical facilities is preferred; PMP, Lean/Six Sigma, CxA, QCxP, or related credentials are a plus.
