• Execute defined commissioning and test procedures, documenting results and flagging deviations.
• Support dry runs, functional testing, and integrated system testing during startup phases.

Troubleshooting & Technical Support

• Troubleshoot device-level and subsystem-level issues including sensor faults, communication errors, wiring discrepancies, and basic PLC logic issues.
• Escalate complex or multi-domain issues to senior engineers with clear documentation of symptoms, steps taken, and observations.
• Assist with industrial network validation including IP addressing, device discovery, and basic switch configuration verification.
• Document issues, resolutions, and lessons learned to support team knowledge sharing.

On-Site Execution & Coordination

• Work alongside technicians, electricians, and contractors during system installation and commissioning.
• Follow safety requirements, quality standards, and commissioning procedures at all times.
• Communicate status, blockers, and progress to the on-site lead engineer clearly and proactively.
• Maintain organized records of commissioning progress, punch lists, and test results.

Integration & Handover Support

• Support equipment validation against design specifications and controls standards.
• Assist with integration testing between field devices, PLCs, and higher-level control systems (WCS).
• Participate in turnover activities, helping ensure systems are documented and ready for operational ownership.

Learning & Development

• Actively develop technical skills in PLC programming, industrial networking, and commissioning methodology.
• Seek feedback from senior engineers and apply lessons learned to improve personal execution quality.
• Contribute observations and ideas to improve commissioning processes, tools, and documentation.
