Are you Ready to Build the Future of AI Infrastructure?
If you’re energized by massive scale, deep technical complexity, and the opportunity to shape the next era of compute, this is your moment. Join a team where groundbreaking work meets competitive compensation, meaningful impact, and a chance to accelerate your career at the forefront of AI innovation. We want to meet you.
Why IREN?
IREN is a vertically integrated AI Cloud provider, delivering large-scale data centers and GPU clusters for AI training and inference. IREN’s platform is underpinned by its expansive portfolio of grid-connected land and power in renewable-rich regions across North America, Europe and APAC.
With 100% renewable energy, we build, own and operate our data centers and take pride in being at the forefront of sustainable solutions for the ever-evolving applications of high-performance compute. We believe that human progress is invaluable, but it should be done in the right way: responsibly, sustainably and having a positive impact on the communities we operate in.
This position is based on-site in Mackenzie, BC, supporting the Mackenzie Air-Cooled Project and the upcoming Optimization Project at our operating data center site. It is a camp-based role working a 14 days on / 7 days off (14&7) rotation in support of the project's two-crew (A/B), day and night construction schedule. Camp accommodations, meals, and site transportation are provided during on-rotation periods.
The Role
The QA/QC Field Inspector is IREN's independent verification presence on the Mackenzie expansion. We are hiring inspectors in two streams, Electrical and Mechanical, across both crews and both shifts; tell us which discipline you are applying for. Reporting to the discipline Superintendent, you inspect and verify that installations match the Engineer of Record's design, the applicable codes and standards, and the IREN Quality Management System, working day to day with the contractors' QA/QC teams to confirm their quality program is being executed and that the evidence it produces is accurate and complete. You also own the quality record for your scope: inspection reports, test records, non-conformances, and turnover documentation, captured and traceable from installation through commissioning and handover. This is a live, mission-critical site: a single installation defect or a gap in the record can compromise uptime or delay energization, so you hold contractors to a zero-defect standard, refuse work or records that do not meet requirements, and escalate early. Expect to spend most of every shift in the field.
Responsibilities
- 8+ years of hands-on industrial construction experience in your discipline (data centers, power generation, substations, oil and gas, mining, pulp and paper, or heavy industrial), including 2+ years in a QA/QC inspection role.
