• Participate in design meetings, risk reviews, and constructability assessments.
• Conduct site inspections to verify installations against design documents and specifications.
• Develop and manage pre-functional checklists (PFCs), and coordinate readiness with contractors, vendors, and project stakeholders.
• Track commissioning issues in logs and ensure resolution.
• Witness factory acceptance tests (FATs) and site acceptance tests (SATs).
• Develop and execute functional performance test (FPT) scripts and lead integrated systems testing (IST) for mission-critical systems.
• Validate sequences of operation for HVAC systems, including CRAHs, AHUs, chillers, and cooling towers; electrical systems, including UPS, generators, ATS, and switchgear; and building automation and supervisory control systems (BAS/SCADA).
• Troubleshoot system deficiencies, coordinate corrective actions, and verify system redundancy, failover, and alarm responses.
• Compile commissioning documentation and turnover packages and verify completion of all commissioning activities.
• Support operations staff training and deliver final commissioning reports and system manuals.
  
  

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 3–10 years of commissioning, construction, or MEP engineering experience.
• Strong understanding of HVAC systems and controls, electrical distribution systems, and BAS/SCADA systems.
• Experience reading and interpreting engineering drawings and specifications, developing and executing test scripts, and preparing commissioning documentation.
• Strong troubleshooting, problem-solving, communication, and coordination skills.
• Technical leadership in field environments, attention to detail, and accurate documentation.
• Ability to manage multiple projects, coordinate effectively with teams, and adapt to fast-paced construction environments.
• Experience in data centers or other mission-critical facilities, including integrated systems testing (IST).
• Familiarity with ASHRAE commissioning guidelines, NFPA standards, and Uptime Institute Tier requirements.
• OSHA 10- or 30-hour training.
• Certifications such as Certified Commissioning Professional (CCP) or LEED Commissioning (CxA), preferred but not required.
