Job Summary:

Facilitate Level 1 through Level 5 commissioning on electrical and instrumentation systems across the full project lifecycle, from early design and factory acceptance through installation verification, pre-functional and functional testing, and final integrated systems testing. Work spans substation, industrial, and mission-critical installations.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

· Facilitate Level 1 through Level 5 commissioning on electrical and instrumentation systems; level definitions adapt to the specific installation type (substation, industrial, mission critical).

· Develop and execute Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs) and Methods of Procedure (MOPs) in support of commissioning activities; ensure hold points, witness points, and approvals are captured prior to execution.

· Review project documentation including but not limited to drawings, specifications, protection and control schemes, sequences of operation, and coordination studies; verify design intent and testability.

· Witness Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) at manufacturer facilities; identify issues and drive resolution prior to shipment.

· Verify delivery and installation in the field, including but not limited to torque values, clearances, grounding, cable terminations, and conformance to specifications and manufacturer requirements.

· Execute pre-functional and startup testing of equipment including but not limited to transformers, circuit breakers, protective relays, instrument transformers (CTs and PTs), switchgear, MCCs, UPS, generators, and station batteries.

· Execute functional performance testing (FPT) of integrated systems, including but not limited to sequences of operation, protection schemes, interlocks, alarms, and control logic.

· Support Integrated Systems Testing (IST) under live conditions, including but not limited to phased energization, load testing, SCADA and communications verification, and final performance validation.

· Identify safety hazards and human performance risks; contribute to task-hazard and task-risk mitigation analyses. Communicate potential delays, cost overruns, or technical issues to the Project Lead in a timely manner. Must be willing to travel overnight as needed.

· The above list of duties is not to be construed as an exhaustive list; other duties logically associated with the position may be assigned.

Required Skills

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:

· Demonstrated experience facilitating E&I commissioning projects across substation, industrial, and/or mission-critical installations, including development and execution of ITPs and MOPs.

· Working knowledge of electrical theory, power distribution (LV/MV/HV), and protective relaying principles.

· Ability to read and interpret single-lines, three-lines, schematics, P&IDs, loop sheets, cable schedules, and vendor manuals.

· Proficiency with commissioning test equipment including but not limited to Omicron CMC 356, Doble, CPC 100, Megger, transformer turns ratio testers, hi-pot testers, contact resistance testers, and process calibrators.

· Working knowledge of network and control communications including but not limited to TCP/IP, DNP3, Modbus, IEC 61850, HART, and Foundation Fieldbus over copper, fiber, and wireless media.

· Familiarity with NETA ATS/MTS, NEC, and NFPA 70E; NETA III or IV certification is a plus.

· Familiarity with NERC Standards and CIP policies and procedures and required compliance documentation.

· Strong working knowledge of common software such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook. Experience with project management and completion software is a plus.

· Hands-on experience with equipment and systems from industry manufacturers including but not limited to SEL, GE, ABB, Siemens, Schneider, and Rockwell.

· Must show the ability to effectively communicate both written and verbally with customers and other team members.

· Demonstrates organizational skills to include on-time reporting of time and expenses, weekly status reports, and any other documentation and reporting requirements.

· Demonstrates the responsibility required to maintain a professional appearance as well as keeping tools, test equipment, and vehicles in clean and organized condition and up to date with service and calibrations.
