Aerotek Services Provides Commissioning Support for Dual Data Center Projects

Skilled industrial maintenance technician performs equipment inspection in a manufacturing plant.

The Challenge

As U.S. data center construction accelerated, our client needed a field services partner to support deployment and commissioning of coolant distribution units (CDUs) and related cooling systems for hyperscale data center projects for two separate companies. With limited internal resources and aggressive commissioning schedules, the projects required specialized technicians to validate equipment performance, complete quality inspections, identify issues and coordinate with site stakeholders. One of the companies our client partnered with needed support for more than 1,000 CDUs and 32 technical water makeup systems, while the broader engagement spanned seven sites across the U.S. Without qualified resources being deployed quickly, our client risked delays in commissioning and customer readiness.

Maintenance technician troubleshoots industrial machinery to support production uptime and reliability.

The Solution

Aerotek Services delivered a scalable commissioning support model that combined mobile field resources, on-site supervision, reporting and national recruiting. The team provided commissioning technicians and field leadership across multiple U.S. project locations. Aerotek Services supported L2–L5 commissioning activities, including pre-functional checks, startup support, functional testing, corrective action support and final documentation. The solution also included workforce reporting, site coordination and training assistance, with personnel certified for OSHA 30 and NFPA 70E requirements where applicable. When a major phase of the project required faster execution, Aerotek Services helped increase staffing at two sites from 10 to 20 skilled technicians per site and mobilized additional resources within two weeks.

The Outcome
                Aerotek Services helped our client maintain momentum on mission-critical commissioning work while improving visibility, workforce scalability and site-level execution. The partnership gave our client access to a U.S.-based field services model that could support specialized commissioning needs across active data center projects and position the company to pursue additional opportunities. The engagement also established an important proof point for data center OEM (original equipment manufacturer) companies: specialized commissioning support can help protect project timelines, reduce internal resource strain and maintain operational readiness as cooling infrastructure becomes more complex and job site schedules shift.
