Commissioning- Engineer- Electrical, Low Voltage-SME- Boise, ID

FusionIRX•Boise, ID

About The Position

FusionIRX is seeking an experienced Low Voltage Electrical Commissioning Subject Matter Expert (SME) to lead commissioning activities for a large-scale semiconductor fabrication project in Boise, Idaho. The role requires substantial expertise in electrical systems installation, testing, and commissioning, particularly low voltage (600V and below) power distribution, equipment integration, functional performance testing, and operational readiness. The SME will apply technical knowledge of low voltage infrastructure, industry codes, commissioning protocols, and system turnover requirements while managing multiple commissioning priorities in a fast-paced, schedule-driven construction environment. The position provides technical leadership throughout commissioning, from planning and verification through testing, startup, documentation, and final turnover. The SME collaborates with electrical contractors, design engineers, equipment manufacturers, commissioning teams, and owner representatives to resolve issues, maintain project milestones, and support safe energization and operational readiness.

Requirements

Minimum 8 years of experience in electrical construction, testing, commissioning, or facility startup, with substantial experience in low voltage electrical systems.
Strong technical knowledge of 600V-and-below electrical power distribution equipment and associated control systems.
Experience commissioning complex industrial facilities, semiconductor fabrication plants, data centers, pharmaceutical facilities, or other advanced manufacturing environments.
Demonstrated knowledge of electrical commissioning procedures, functional testing, equipment energization, and system acceptance requirements.
Proficiency in reading and interpreting electrical single-line diagrams, control schematics, and engineering specifications.
Familiarity with NFPA 70 (NEC), NFPA 70E, ANSI/NETA standards, and relevant IEEE requirements.
Experience coordinating with multidisciplinary construction and commissioning teams.
Strong organizational, documentation, troubleshooting, and communication skills.
Ability to work independently, prioritize competing demands, and meet aggressive construction schedules.

Nice To Haves

Previous commissioning experience on large-scale semiconductor fabrication projects.
Experience with mission-critical electrical distribution and redundant power systems.
Familiarity with commissioning management platforms such as CxAlloy and construction management software such as Procore.
Experience supporting integrated systems testing, operational readiness, and final facility turnover.

Responsibilities

Plan, coordinate, oversee, and execute commissioning activities for low voltage electrical systems (600V and below) throughout the semiconductor fabrication facility.
Commission and verify low voltage switchgear, switchboards, panelboards, motor control centers, power distribution systems, transformers, protective devices, UPS systems, PDUs, ATS equipment, emergency and standby power distribution, VFDs, motor starters, electrical control panels, lighting and lighting controls, grounding and bonding systems, and power distribution supporting process equipment, cleanrooms, and critical facility utilities.
Verify electrical monitoring, metering, and control interfaces associated with low voltage infrastructure.
Review and interpret electrical drawings, single-line diagrams, schematics, equipment submittals, and project specifications to verify installation and commissioning requirements.
Develop, review, and execute commissioning plans, test procedures, functional performance test scripts, and acceptance criteria.
Perform and witness electrical testing, including insulation resistance, continuity, grounding verification, protective device testing, and functional performance testing as applicable.
Verify proper operation and integration of low voltage systems with facility automation, emergency power, and critical utility infrastructure.
Ensure electrical systems comply with applicable NFPA, NEC, NETA, IEEE, OSHA, and client-specific standards.
Participate in Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), and Integrated Systems Testing (IST), as required.
Coordinate with electrical contractors, design engineers, equipment manufacturers, commissioning teams, and owner representatives to resolve deficiencies and commissioning challenges.
Monitor commissioning progress, identify potential schedule impacts, and recommend corrective actions to maintain project milestones.
Document commissioning activities, including test results, deficiency reports, punch lists, equipment verification records, and final turnover packages.
Verify equipment readiness for energization and support safe electrical startup activities in coordination with authorized personnel.
Adhere to electrical safety requirements, including NFPA 70E, arc flash protection, energized work restrictions, and Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures.
Provide technical leadership, guidance, and mentorship to commissioning engineers, technicians, and supporting contractors.
