Job description

International Commissioning Engineer Emergency Power Systems

Are you a commissioning engineer who enjoys technical challenges and a structured approach?

Are you a precision‑oriented commissioning engineer who loves technical challenges and a structured way of working? Based in Frankfurt, you will work on complex emergency power projects on site and throughout Europe.

In this role, you will be responsible for commissioning and testing complete emergency power systems – from engines and generators to switchgear and fuel systems. You will ensure that every component functions in accordance with safety standards, technical specifications and project requirements to guarantee a reliable and safe emergency power supply. Your decisions are based on technical data and clear guidelines. This makes you the ideal candidate for this structured and quality‑oriented role.

Do you feel comfortable in a role where every step and every detail counts? Then this role is perfect for you.

The emergency power system commissioning engineer is responsible for commissioning and testing emergency power systems, including engines, generators, switchgear and fuel systems. You ensure that all these systems are installed correctly and function in accordance with technical specifications, safety standards and project requirements. You work closely with project, development and installation teams, check compliance with regulations and carry out detailed performance tests before the system is handed over to the client.

You will be the point of contact for clients with technical questions about installation and will support the work involved in preparing, carrying out and reporting on FAT and SAT.

You will perform structured tests on generators. And you will check every system for correctness and safety to ensure that everything works as planned.

During the test, you will analyse technical problems and develop targeted solutions that are always based on a logical and objective approach.

You will work with our proprietary generator control system, which you will use to regulate the automatic switchover between the main power supply and emergency power to ensure that multiple generators are synchronised smoothly.

Our system enables you to diagnose faults quickly thanks to detailed data recording, thereby ensuring the reliable operation of emergency power systems.

You ensure that all emergency power systems comply with standards and specific project requirements. You work conscientiously to ensure that everything is correct down to the smallest detail.

You carefully record all test results and processes in reports and ensure clear documentation that complies with project requirements and relevant standards.
