We are looking for a Senior Electrical Commissioning Project Engineer who can lead from the front, solve complex technical challenges, and drive commissioning outcomes in high-stakes environments.

  • Lead commissioning activities across the full project lifecycle
  • Execute and oversee functional testing, factory witness testing, and on-site validation
  • Manage multiple assignments while maintaining schedule, budget, and quality expectations
  • Interpret contract documents to identify risks and opportunities
Technical Expertise & Problem Solving
  • Evaluate electrical distribution systems and building system interconnectivity
  • Troubleshoot system performance issues in real time
  • Review design documentation and submittals
Client & Stakeholder Engagement
  • Lead commissioning meetings and communicate findings
  • Serve as a trusted partner to clients and contractors
Operational Contributions
  • Complete field reports, documentation, and time management
  • Support scheduling and revenue targets Team Development
    • Mentor junior engineers and support training initiatives
    What You Bring Core Qualifications
    • Electrical Engineering degree or Qualified Electrician background
    • 7+ years in electrical systems OR 3+ years commissioning
    • Data center or mission-critical experience
    Technical Capabilities
    • Experience with electrical distribution, HVAC systems, controls, fire alarm, and automation
    • Ability to read construction drawings and specifications
    Professional Skills
    • Strong analytical and communication skills
    • Ability to lead meetings and manage multiple priorities
    Physical Requirements
    • Ability to work in field environments, climb ladders, and lift ~30 lbs
    Travel Requirements

    Regular travel to project sites with potential for broader U.S. travel. Must be able to work on-site as required.

    Why FST

    At FST, you are part of a team that values execution, accountability, and expertise. Strong performers are recognized, and engineers have opportunities to grow into leadership roles.

    Salary range: $130,000-$170,000 - based on experience
