Commissioning Manager

Description

ERock (NYSE: EROC) is enabling energy for a new era. ERock delivers onsite utility-grade power that gets customers up and running quickly, while supporting long-term grid development. ERock's proprietary natural gas generators help critical facilities address grid constraints, interconnection delays, and outage risks while accelerating speed-to-power for new and expanding operations. Trusted by data centers, utilities, manufacturers, healthcare systems and government organizations, ERock engineers for rapid deployment, long-duration reliability, low local emissions, and scalable performance to meet the evolving energy demands of today and tomorrow.

The Commissioning Manager is the technical manager and primary escalation point for ERock's commissioning technicians within the System Integration organization and is the single point of accountability for confirming that each unit's complete control system — PLCs, protective relays, generating-set controllers, and the SCADA supervisory layer — performs as designed before it is placed in service. This role leads the preparation, scheduling, execution, troubleshooting, documentation, and closeout of commissioning activities from factory acceptance testing (FAT) through site acceptance testing (SAT) and final energization, across ERock's low-voltage and medium-voltage microgrid projects.

The manager develops the commissioning team's technical capability, establishes repeatable practices, and ensures technicians have the direction and support needed to execute safely, efficiently, and professionally.

• Manage, coach, and develop commissioning technicians, establishing clear technical expectations, work standards, training plans, and field support practices.
• Serve as the first technical escalation point for commissioning technicians and resolve routine commissioning issues before they require Director-level involvement.
• Own commissioning readiness for assigned projects, including scope review, staffing, schedule, procedures, tools, drawings, test plans, customer requirements, and open technical questions.
• Plan and lead factory acceptance testing (FAT), site acceptance testing (SAT), and final energization of PLCs, protective relays, generating-set controllers, and switch gear, leading execution directly on straightforward low-voltage sites and coordinating the commissioning scope for unique and medium-voltage sites.
• Develop and maintain commissioning procedures, test plans, and check sheets, and verify that as-commissioned configurations match the approved design and the fleet engineering standard.
• Verify protection settings, control logic, communications, and sequences of operation in the field, and confirm correct end-to-end behavior between the control layer and SCADA.
• Partner with the Automation and Controls engineering team on advanced sites, ensuring a coordinated handoff between technician-led commissioning and engineering-led controls integration.
• Own field safety during commissioning, including energization readiness, lockout/tagout boundaries, and job safety analyses; hold or ... any energization that does not meet readiness criteria.
• Provide technical oversight of third-party relay and protection testing, review results, and ensure required issues are tracked through resolution.
• Coordinate with Engineering, Construction, Project Management, O&M, NOC/SCADA, third-party testing providers, and customers to resolve dependencies and maintain schedule alignment.
• Identify, document, and drive resolution of commissioning findings and punch-list items, and review commissioning data, test reports, and turnover packages for completeness, accuracy, and alignment with design intent.
