Job Summary: We are seeking a Commissioning Authority Lead to serve as a key position on a LEED Commissioning Services engagement at a rail yard and vehicle maintenance facility. Acting as the Commissioning Authority (CxA) on behalf of the consultant team, this individual will lead fundamental commissioning, enhanced commissioning, monitoring-based commissioning, and building enclosure commissioning process (CxP) activities, ensuring systems and components are designed, installed, and perform in accordance with the owner's project requirements (OPR) and LEED requirements.
Qualifications: - Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, or related field).
- Certification in Commissioning preferred (e.g., CxA, CCP, or BCxA).
- 10+ years of experience commissioning building systems.
- REQUIRED: Direct, hands-on experience commissioning rail yard, transit vehicle maintenance, or comparable heavy-rail/transit facilities. This is a must-have, not a preference - general building commissioning experience without rail/transit exposure will not meet the qualification bar for this role.
- Direct experience with LEED commissioning is required.
- Strong working knowledge of construction processes, mechanical and electrical systems, building enclosure assemblies, and applicable building codes.
- Experience conducting fundamental, enhanced, and monitoring-based commissioning is required; experience with building enclosure commissioning (CxP) is preferred.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience presenting findings and reports to owners and project teams.
- Prior experience mentoring or supervising junior commissioning staff.
- Availability for a long-duration, on-site/hybrid assignment (~4.5 years) supporting an active transit facility.
Responsibilities: - Serve as the Commissioning Authority (CxA) of record for the task order, developing and implementing the commissioning plan in line with the OPR and LEED requirements.
- Lead fundamental commissioning, enhanced commissioning, monitoring-based commissioning, and building enclosure commissioning process (CxP) activities.
- Conduct site visits at the rail yard/maintenance facility to review installation of systems and components.
- Perform and oversee functional testing and verify system performance against design intent.
- Document findings and prepare commissioning reports for the client and prime project leadership.
- Collaborate with the prime consultant's project team, client stakeholders, and trade contractors to identify and resolve commissioning issues.
- Provide guidance and mentorship to the Commissioning Engineer (Field Representative) and other junior commissioning staff assigned to the task order.
