Major Responsibilities:

Commissioning Planning and System Ownership

Develop and maintain commissioning plans, procedures, check sheets, test forms, and turnover requirements for assigned systems. Establish system boundaries, turnover sequence, commissioning logic, test prerequisites, and acceptance criteria aligned with the project schedule. Review P&IDs, drawings, specifications, sequences of operation, equipment data, and vendor submittals for commissioning readiness. Participate in design, constructability, hazard, and operational readiness reviews. Identify risks, constraints, vendor support, test equipment, and temporary system needs.

Construction Completion and Turnover

Coordinate construction-to-commissioning turnover and verify packages are complete and aligned with system boundaries. Perform field walkdowns to confirm installation meets approved drawings, specifications, and vendor requirements. Validate mechanical completion, testing, cleaning, purging, leak testing, and preservation records. Develop, prioritize, track, and close punch‑list items.

Commissioning and Startup Execution

Lead or support inspections, valve and damper lineups, equipment rotation checks, purging, blowdowns, pressurization, and energization. Coordinate startup and troubleshooting of HVAC equipment, fan filter units, exhaust systems, scrubbers, compressors, dryers, vacuum pumps, valves, dampers, ductwork, and piping. Monitor airflow, pressure, temperature, humidity, dew point, and gas purity against acceptance criteria. Document results and coordinate corrective actions. Support TAB and integrated testing with other disciplines.

Technical Coordination and Problem Resolution

Work with engineering to resolve field conditions, design discrepancies, nonconformances, RFIs, and commissioning changes. Coordinate OEM and supplier support for installation verification, startup, testing, troubleshooting, and documentation. Communicate system status, risks, constraints, and recovery actions.

Documentation, Quality, and Handover

Maintain accurate commissioning records and turnover documentation. Prepare mechanical completion packages, test records, commissioning reports, and acceptance documentation.
