The Electrical Commissioning Engineer is responsible for planning, executing, documenting, and supporting the commissioning of electrical systems within mission-critical facilities. This role oversees electrical commissioning activities from pre-planning and factory testing through construction verification, functional performance testing, integrated systems testing, and post-occupancy support. The ideal candidate has strong experience commissioning high-, medium-, and low-voltage electrical systems and can effectively coordinate with construction, engineering, controls, operations, and commissioning teams.

Responsibilities:
  • Develop and maintain electrical commissioning plans in alignment with ASHRAE standards, project requirements, Cx specifications, Sequence of Operations, LEED Gold requirements, California Title 24, EHS requirements, and the Commissioning Plan/PEP.
  • Review design documents, project specifications, IFC drawings, and electrical sequences to identify commissioning requirements and potential issues.
  • Develop and finalize Factory Witness Test (FWT) lists and review factory test submissions with a focus on electrical equipment and systems.
  • Create electrical system verification checklists and Functional Performance Test (FPT) procedures for OAT, FAT, and IST activities.
  • Review, validate, and refine electrical Sequences of Operations (SOO) to ensure systems operate as designed.
  • Lead electrical equipment Factory Witness Testing at manufacturer facilities prior to shipment and document findings for project stakeholders.
  • Perform construction and installation verification inspections with a focus on electrical systems, equipment, structural supports, code clearances, sensors, and design compliance.
  • Serve as a Task Leader for designated electrical system testing activities and coordinate testing with other commissioning disciplines.
  • Execute Operational Acceptance Testing (OAT) on electrical systems and verify proper operation of electrical controls and software.
  • Perform Functional Acceptance Testing (FAT) to confirm electrical systems operate in accordance with approved sequences, design requirements, and project specifications.
  • Test intra-system dependencies between electrical systems and other building systems to verify proper operation and control sequences.
  • Participate in Integrated Systems Testing (IST) to verify coordinated operation between electrical systems and other mission-critical building systems.
  • Review and verify electrical load bank testing results and document system performance, efficiency, and operating metrics.
  • Issue Green Tag certification when electrical systems have successfully completed required commissioning activities and are ready for the next phase of testing or acceptance.
  • Identify, document, and track deficiencies, commissioning issues, and non-conformances through resolution.
  • Maintain detailed electrical commissioning documentation within the Smart Completions system.
  • Create and maintain Non-Conformance Logs (NCLs), commissioning punch lists, test records, and system documentation.
  • Generate comprehensive commissioning reports and provide accurate documentation to project stakeholders and the owner.
  • Verify electrical systems meet applicable LEED, energy-efficiency, ASHRAE 90.1, code, and project-specific requirements.
  • Review O&M manuals, as-built drawings, test documentation, and turnover packages for completeness and accuracy.
  • Attend weekly commissioning team meetings and provide updates on electrical commissioning progress, issues, risks, and upcoming activities.
  • Coordinate with MEP/FP inspectors, special inspectors, testing agencies, controls personnel, contractors, engineers, and other commissioning disciplines.
  • Collaborate with Facility Operations teams and project stakeholders to support system readiness, owner acceptance, and Blue Tag certification.
  • Lead or support training sessions for facility personnel covering electrical system operation, controls, troubleshooting, and maintenance.
  • Assist with owner acceptance activities and resolution of outstanding electrical commissioning issues.
  • Support post-occupancy commissioning activities, including facility operations meetings, electrical system troubleshooting, LEED documentation, and final commissioning reports.
  • Any other duties or responsibilities that may be assigned to you in your role.
Skills Required:
  • Lighting Controls Technician (ATT-L) – strongly preferred
  • 3–5+ years of hands-on electrical commissioning experience in semiconductor or high-tech…
