  • Coordinate directly with construction leads, SCADA teams, and utility partners to ensure seamless system integration and communication protocols.

  • Review and finalize commissioning documentation, test results, and turnover packages to ensure they meet project milestones and industry standards.

  • Enforce strict adherence to safety protocols, electrical codes (NEC/NFPA 70E), and site-specific safety requirements across the commissioning team.

  • Manage and audit energy isolation procedures (LOTO) to ensure a zero-incident environment during the transition from construction to operations.

  • Assist the Commissioning Director in resource planning, scheduling, and progress reporting for multiple project sites.

EDUCATION AND WORK EXPERIENCE

  • Proven experience in a leadership or senior technical role commissioning electrical systems within solar, BESS, or utility/industrial sectors.

  • Advanced knowledge of electrical testing methods, specialized equipment, and NETA standards.

  • Strong ability to interpret control logic, advanced technical drawings, and protective relay settings.

  • Demonstrated experience in field execution management including troubleshooting, team coordination, and project reporting.

  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to manage subcontractor relationships and internal stakeholders.

  • Willingness to travel extensively to project sites across multiple states.
