Certified Commissioning Agent

We're hiring a Commissioning Agent to join our team in Boise, Idaho. This is a full-time, on-site role leading projects across healthcare, commercial, retail, and education sectors.

About the role

You’ll lead commissioning efforts from early design review through owner turnover, ensuring alignment between the Owner's Project Requirements and the Basis of Design. Travel is approximately 50% of the time, structured to work with your schedule, and you’ll collaborate directly with owners, designers, and contractors to resolve issues. Within a year, you’ll independently lead projects and mentor technicians to build a high-performing team.

Responsibilities

• Lead commissioning efforts for HVAC, refrigeration, and related mechanical systems from design review through owner turnover
• Perform design reviews and review shop drawings to confirm systems meet the Owner's Project Requirements and Basis of Design
• Review commissioning documentation, functional test forms, and field reports prepared by commissioning technicians, and verify accuracy before final sign-off
• Execute and document functional performance testing on complex systems using data loggers and measurement tools to verify control sequences and performance
• Consult directly with owners, designers, and contractors to resolve open issues and confirm project requirements throughout construction
• Communicate findings and recommendations through clear, data-driven reports for technical and non-technical audiences
• Mentor commissioning technicians and contribute to team quality standards and best-practice checklists
• Deliver final commissioning reports and represent Cushing Terrell in project and strategy meetings

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience commissioning HVAC, refrigeration, or other electrical systems
• Strong understanding of HVAC and refrigeration system components, including RTUs, chillers, boilers, VAV systems, and controls
• Comfortable working onsite, with overnight travel up to 50% of the time (multi-day site work is common)
• Ability to perform design reviews and read construction documents and specifications
• Strong technical writing and client communication skills
• Certified Commissioning Professional (CCP), Commissioning Authority (CxA), or Building Commissioning Professional (BCxP) certification
• Proficient with Microsoft Excel, Word, and Outlook; experience with Bluebeam or similar PDF markup tools

Qualifications

• Experience with building automation controls and sequences (BACnet, Modbus), including point-to-point verification and trend log analysis
• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or a related field (may reduce field experience needed to sit for a CCP certification exam)

Pay

The expected salary range for this position is $84,000 to $100,000 annually, with eligibility for an annual performance bonus. Actual pay will be determined based on experience, licensure, location, proficiency, and other job-related factors.
