JAKE EYRE APPOINTED CHAIRMAN

OF COMMISSIONING SPECIALISTS
ASSOCIATION ANZ CHAPTER CONTINUED...

In addition to Jake's appointment, the CSA is also excited
to welcome Lee White, the ANZ Regional Commissioning
Manager at Microsoft, as the Vice Chairman. Neil Burdess
extended his gratitude to Lee for volunteering for this
position. "We are looking forward to working with Lee
and leveraging the innovative approach that Microsoft
brings to commissioning. Lee's experience and insights
will be invaluable to our chapter."

Lee White also shared his thoughts on the new role,
saying, "I am thrilled to join the CSA ANZ chapter as
Vice Chairman. My journey in commissioning started
with a passion for technology and systems integration. One of my most memorable
projects was leading the commissioning of a cutting-edge data centre. This project
was particularly challenging due to the lack of sufficient utility power and the absence
of an aligned commissioning process. To overcome these obstacles, we implemented
comprehensive training programs and developed tactical power mitigation plan . The
successful completion of this project not only enhanced the data centre’s performance
but also set a new benchmark for the region."

Jake also expressed his enthusiasm about working with Lee White, saying, "I am thrilled
to have Lee as the Vice Chairman. His expertise and the intuitive approach of Microsoft
will be a great asset to our chapter. I am confident that together, we can outline a

strategic approach to advancing the commissioning processes in the ANZ region."

The last ANZ chapter meeting, held over Microsoft Teams, was a great success. It was
wonderful to see so many people passionate about commissioning in the region.

The CSA is committed to providing top-notch training programs to its members, ensuring
they stay at the forefront of industry standards and practices. Jake emphasised the
importance of continuous learning, stating, "Our training
programs are designed to equip our members with the latest
knowledge and skills in commissioning. We believe that
investing in education is key to maintaining excellence in
our field."

The CSA is enthusiastic about the future under the leadership of
Jake Eyre and Lee White, anticipating significant advancements
in the commissioning field across Australia and New Zealand.
