• Coordinate Level 4 functional performance testing of ELV systems
• Prepare, review and technically challenge commissioning test scripts and sequences
• Verify sequences of operation, cause-and-effect requirements, alarms, controls and system responses
• Coordinate testing activities across vendors, contractors and other commissioning disciplines
• Identify failures, defects and non-conformances during testing and drive corrective actions and retesting
• Ensure testing is accurately documented and supported by appropriate evidence

L5 - Integrated Systems Testing (IST)
