• Review drawings, specifications, shop drawings, submittals, and sequences of operation to identify commissioning requirements and design discrepancies.

Desired Qualifications

• 3+ years of progressive commissioning, testing, startup, or field engineering experience, preferably in mission‑critical, data center, industrial, or complex commercial environments.
• Strong knowledge of electrical, mechanical, and controls systems, including the ability to interpret drawings, specifications, and sequences of operation.
• Demonstrated experience leading vendors/contractors and coordinating field commissioning activities with minimal day‑to‑day supervision.
• Hands‑on experience developing commissioning documentation, including commissioning plans, pre‑functional checklists, functional test scripts, test logs, and deficiency reports.

• Excellent communication and client‑facing skills, with the ability to serve as a technical point of contact and communicate effectively with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and digital project/documentation tools, with strong organizational skills; willingness to leverage AI/emerging technologies and maintain required OSHA/NFPA 70E safety certifications.
