Assistant Commissioning Manager

Job Overview

The Assistant Commissioning Manager oversees and coordinates commissioning activities for electrical and mechanical systems, ensuring projects progress smoothly from installation through handover. This role is responsible for developing and managing commissioning schedules, conducting pre-energization inspections, and coordinating equipment field inspections. The Assistant Manager directs subcontractors and vendors on issue resolution, reviews third‑party test reports, and manages the documentation and reporting required to maintain traceability and project compliance. 

A key part of the role is people and process leadership: supervising and mentoring commissioning engineers, tracking and resolving defects during commissioning, and interfacing with third‑party commissioning teams to align workstreams. The position requires strong technical judgment to review and interpret technical documents, drawings, and equipment receipt inspections performed by subcontractors, ensuring that work meets specifications and safety protocols are observed at all times.

A bachelor’s degree in electrical or mechanical engineering is preferred (or eight years of equivalent experience plus five years of relevant prior experience), and OSHA10 certification is desirable.
