Electrical Commissioning Engineer (ICA)

Key Responsibilities:

• Commissioning Plan Development:

o Review electrical single-line diagrams (SLDs), schematic drawings, power study reports, and submittals for commissioning readiness.

o Draft pre-functional checklists and functional test protocols for low-voltage (LV), medium-voltage (MV), emergency backup, and lighting systems.

• Field Inspection & Testing Verification:

o Witness vendor Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) or Site Acceptance Tests (SAT) for critical electrical equipment, including transformers, switchgear, RMUs, generators, ATS, UPS, VFDs, and low-current systems.

o Perform and witness insulation resistance testing, primary and secondary injection testing, thermal imaging (thermography), and ground grid testing.

o Witness functional testing of Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS), emergency power generation sequences, and lighting control systems, including scene control and daylight harvesting.

• Integrated Systems Testing (IST):

o Participate in blackout tests and emergency power scenario testing to verify life-safety interlocks, fire alarm interfaces, and trip coordination.

• Issue Management & Closeout:

o Log electrical deficiencies and monitor punch-list items through completion.

o Assist in compiling O&M manuals, training records, and final commissioning documentation.

Qualifications & Requirements:

o Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering.

o Experience: 3 to 5 years of experience in electrical testing, commissioning, or power systems engineering within commercial, infrastructure, or industrial projects.

o Technical Skills:

In-depth understanding of LV/MV and low-current systems, transformers, switchgear, UPS systems, standby diesel generators, and lighting automation.

Familiarity with electrical codes and standards, including IEC, NFPA 70, NFPA 72, NFPA 110, SBC 401, and commissioning guidelines such as ASHRAE Guideline 0 and NETA.

Knowledge of life-safety systems integration, emergency load shedding, and fire alarm interfaces.
