MAKE AN IMPACT THAT MATTERS

We’re looking for a detail-oriented and solutions-focused Commissioning Specialist - Electrical, to join our Science and Technology Division and play a critical role in ensuring the successful delivery of complex, high-performance facilities. In this role, you’ll help bring new and upgraded buildings to life—verifying that electrical systems are installed, tested, and functioning exactly as intended before they’re put into operation.

This position is ideal for someone with strong technical knowledge of electrical systems—such as power distribution, emergency power, life safety, and building automation—who thrives in a client-facing role, enjoys problem-solving on site, and can apply a rigorous, methodical approach to quality assurance.

  department(s) and for external project teams.
• Conducts formal reviews of various documentation such as contractors work plans, factory witness test reports, vendor equipment start-up
  documentation, completed pre-functional test scripts, contractor/owner generated method of procedure documents and contractor
  responses to identified deficiencies.
• Reviews contract drawings and specifications in order to prepare commissioning plan, commissioning schedule and pre-functional,
  functional and integrated system test scripts associated with equipment and systems on projects.
• Identifies and tracks deficiencies encountered in all stages of the commissioning process and manages deficiency close out.
• Supports facility start up, training and demonstration, acceptance, handover and transitions to post occupancy/warranty phase.
• Ensures that all systems are installed, tested, and functioning correctly before they are put into operation.
• Applies technical knowledge in mechanical, electrical, building envelope, facilities operations, and building management. Uses this
  knowledge to troubleshoot equipment and system issues as they arise.
• Understands and interprets commissioning scripts and commissioning documentation to be used during site visits.
• Participates in internal/external commissioning coordination meetings, as required.
• Other duties as assigned.
