Execute and oversee electrical testing activities (e.g., insulation resistance, hi-pot, relay testing, functional verification)
Support pre-commissioning activities, including loop checks, calibration, and protection system verification
Coordinate and participate in FAT, SAT, PSSR, and RFSU processes to ensure systems meet requirements for startup and turnover
Collaborate with Project Management, Construction, Commissioning, Controls, and Operations teams to ensure aligned execution and system readiness
Work directly in the field to support testing, troubleshooting, and issue resolution during commissioning and startup
Ensure compliance with NEC, NFPA 70E, IEEE standards, and company safety requirements
Support BESS and power generation system integration, including system-level testing and performance validation
Develop and maintain commissioning documentation, including ITRs, test records, redlines, and turnover packages
Identify, track, and drive resolution of punch list items prior to system handover
Coordinate with vendors to support installation, testing, and commissioning activities
Promote continuous improvement and support development of standardized commissioning processes and tools
Mentor and support development of junior engineers
