Senior Electrical Commissioning Project Engineer

FST Technical Services
Phoenix, AZ Full Time
POSTED ON 4/3/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/1/2026

Lead the Systems That Power Critical Infrastructure

At FST Technical Services, we ensure the most complex facilities in the world perform exactly as designed. From data centers to advanced manufacturing environments, our work sits at the intersection of engineering precision and real-world execution.

We are looking for a Senior Electrical Commissioning Project Engineer who can lead from the front, solve complex technical challenges, and drive commissioning outcomes in high-stakes environments.

Why This Role Stands Out

This is not a checklist-driven commissioning role.

This is a position for someone who:

  • Owns outcomes, not just tasks
  • Understands systems holistically, not in silos
  • Can operate independently while leading others

You will play a direct role in ensuring critical systems are designed correctly, installed properly, and perform under real-world conditions.

  • Interpret contract documents to identify risks and opportunities

Technical Expertise & Problem Solving

  • Evaluate electrical distribution systems and building system interconnectivity
  • Troubleshoot system performance issues in real time
  • Review design documentation and submittals

Client & Stakeholder Engagement

  • Lead commissioning meetings and communicate findings
  • Serve as a trusted partner to clients and contractors

Operational Contributions

  • Complete field reports, documentation, and time management
  • Support scheduling and revenue targets

Team Development

  • Mentor junior engineers and support training initiatives

What You Bring

Core Qualifications

  • Electrical Engineering degree or Qualified Electrician background
  • 7 years in electrical systems OR 3 years commissioning
  • Data center or mission-critical experience

Technical Capabilities

  • Experience with electrical distribution, HVAC systems, controls, fire alarm, and automation
  • Ability to read construction drawings and specifications

Professional Skills

  • Strong analytical and communication skills
  • Ability to lead meetings and manage multiple priorities

Physical Requirements

  • Ability to work in field environments, climb ladders, and lift ~30 lbs

Preferred

  • EIT, CEM, LEED, OSHA 30, BIM experience

Travel Requirements

Regular travel to project sites with potential for broader U.S. travel. Must be able to work on-site as required.

Why FST

At FST, you are part of a team that values execution, accountability, and expertise. Strong performers are recognized, and engineers have opportunities to grow into leadership roles.
