• Perform loop checks, functional testing, and pre‑commissioning activities on control systems prior to energization.
• Read and interpret P&IDs, control schematics, loop diagrams, and vendor documentation to ensure accurate installation.
• Identify and document field discrepancies, RFIs, and punch list items in coordination with the project engineering team.
• Coordinate daily work activities with the general contractor, mechanical trades, and commissioning teams to meet project milestones.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and code‑compliant work area in accordance with site safety protocols and OSHA regulations.
• Complete all required documentation including as‑built markups, calibration records, and test reports.
• Support the commissioning and startup team during integrated systems testing and final acceptance phases.

Required Experience & Skills

• Proficiency in the installation and termination of instrumentation and control wiring (4‑20mA, discrete I/O, network cabling).
• Experience with BAS/BMS systems including installation of sensors, controllers, and actuators.
• Ability to read and interpret technical documents including loop diagrams, P&IDs, and control panel schematics.
• Solid understanding of NEC code requirements related to instrumentation and low‑voltage wiring.
• Hands‑on experience with instrument calibration tools and procedures.
• Strong troubleshooting skills with the ability to diagnose wiring faults, signal issues, and equipment malfunctions.
