Electrical Commissioning Engineer

Responsibilities

• Support electrical commissioning activities across all project phases, from design review through startup, functional testing, Integrated Systems Testing (IST), and final handover.
• Review Issued for Construction (IFC) drawings, electrical specifications, one-line diagrams, shop drawings, and sequences of operation to support commissioning readiness.
• Develop and execute electrical commissioning procedures, pre-functional checklists, functional test scripts, and Integrated Systems Testing (IST) procedures.
• Cookordination commissioning activities with owners, construction management teams, engineering, subcontractors, OEMs, and commissioning stakeholders.
• Perform installation verification and QA/QC walkdowns to confirm systems are installed in accordance with project specifications and approved drawings.
• Inspect switchgear, transformers, UPS systems, generators, PDUs, RPPs, busway, MCCs, panelboards, protective relays, grounding systems, and associated electrical infrastructure.
• Witness and support Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), pre-functional inspections, energization activities, functional performance testing, and Integrated Systems Testing (IST).
• Verify electrical installations including cable routing, terminations, torque verification, insulation resistance testing, grounding continuity, labeling, and asset tagging.
• Validate breaker settings, protective relay coordination, alarms, interlocks, failover sequences, control logic, and system integration prior to turnover.
• Support electrical startup, energization planning, switching activities, load bank testing, and system restoration while maintaining strict adherence to safety requirements.
• Identify, document, and track commissioning deficiencies, punch list items, and non-conformance reports (NCRs) through final closeout.
• Verify corrective actions and perform re-inspections to ensure compliance with project quality requirements.
• Maintain commissioning documentation including inspection reports, test records, issue logs, turnover packages, and final commissioning reports.
• Utilize commissioning management platforms and document control systems to monitor system readiness, testing progress, and project documentation.
• Ensure compliance with project specifications, NFPA, NEC, NFPA 70E, IEEE, NETA, owner standards, and applicable Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) requirements.
• Participate in commissioning coordination meetings and provide updates on system readiness, quality metrics, commissioning progress, and outstanding issues.
• Support owner acceptance, turnover documentation, and training activities for facility operations teams.
• Collaborate with commissioning leads, construction teams, and QA/QC personnel to promote commissioning best practices and continuous improvement.
• Promote and maintain a strong safety culture, ensuring compliance with LOTO procedures, energized electrical work practices, and site EH&S requirements.
