Commissioning II

About the role

You will be an integral part of our multi-disciplinary team, collaborating closely with owners, project managers, engineers, and contractors to Successfully deliver high-quality building systems commissioning, from planning through turnover, with an emphasis on mechanical and HVAC systems, controls, and operational readiness. This role includes hands-on field work (site walks, start-up support, functional performance testing) as well as strong documentation and client-facing communication.

HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Plan and execute commissioning activities for assigned projects, including:
  • Review and interpret drawings, specifications, sequences of operation, equipment submittals, and technical reports; provide clear commissioning comments and field observations.
  • Support development and implementation of the commissioning plan, schedule, and project-specific documentation (checklists, test forms, meeting notes, and reports).
  • Develop and/or execute functional performance tests for HVAC and mechanical systems (e.g., AHUs, RTUs, VAV/VRF, hydronic distribution, chilled/hot water plants, exhaust systems, and smoke control interfaces—as applicable).
  • Coincide commissioning activities with project managers, design teams, contractors, TAB agencies, and controls vendors to enable efficient testing and issue resolution.
  • Witness and/or support system start-up, controls point-to-point verification, TAB verification, and integrated testing; document results and follow up on corrective actions.
  • Maintain an accurate issues log; track deficiencies to closure; verify corrective actions and support re-testing as needed.
  • Manage and maintain commissioning documentation and deliverables, including meeting notes, test records, training verification, and final commissioning reports.
  • Participate in project meetings and provide status updates on commissioning progress, schedule risks, and key open issues.
  • Perform job site visits to verify existing conditions, observe construction progress, and confirm installed work supports successful start-up and testing; site visits frequently require physical walk-throughs of active construction areas, mechanical rooms, rooftops, and similar environments.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED

• A minimum of 4 years of experience in commissioning, HVAC system design, or building automation design, or closely related field work.
• Bachelor's or master’s in engineering required, Bachelor or master’s in engineering from an ABET program preferred.
• Working knowledge of HVAC systems and terminology, including a basic understanding of controls/BAS sequences and how systems operate in the field.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills; strong teamwork and organizational skills; ability to effectively handle multiple projects, priorities, and deadlines with attention to detail.
• Commitment to safety and quality; ability to follow site safety requirements and work effectively in active construction environments.
• Ability to travel to project sites and perform field work that includes walking sites, climbing ladders/stairs, and accessing rooftops/mechanical spaces, as required.
• 50% travel is expected.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• EIT/FE (or active pursuit) is a plus. Otherwise, must possess the ability and desire to obtain an approved commissioning-related certification.
• Experience supporting functional testing, troubleshooting, and issue resolution on complex facilities (e.g., healthcare, laboratories, central utility plants).
• Exposure to commissioning best practices and workflows (issues log management, building systems verification, TAB coordination, integrated systems testing).
• Experience with controls testing and data trending (DDC/BAS), including reading sequences of operation and verifying points, alarms, and trends.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook) and common documentation platforms; familiarity with commissioning software platforms is a plus.
