Responsibilities

• Commissioning Coordination & Scheduling
  • Develop and maintain commissioning schedules in collaboration with Project Managers, Engineers, and Field Commissioning staff.
  • Track project readiness, inspection milestones, and test result submissions.
  • Schedule and coordinate commissioning witnesses, utilities, and third-party inspectors.
  • Monitoring Platform Setup & Configuration
  • Create and configure new project sites on monitoring portals such as AlsoEnergy, PowerTrack, Energy Toolbase, SolarEdge, Stem, and Tigo.
  • Upload and validate system metadata including inverter models, CT orientation, communication mappings, weather sensors, and layout files.
  • Coordinate with integrators and client IT teams to establish secure VPN connections, IP addressing, and data flow to client SCADA systems.
  • Verify site data streams and ensures accurate production, irradiance, and environmental reporting prior to system turnover.
• Documentation & Reporting
  • Manage all commissioning documentation including pre-functional checklists, test scripts, and performance verification reports.
  • Compile and organize test data, photos, redlines, and field reports into final turnover packages.
  • Maintain document version control and digital archives compliant with QAQC and ISO-style standards.
  • Prepare summary reports, punch lists, and non-conformance logs for internal and client review.
• Data Management & Validation
  • Review and validate field test results for accuracy and completeness (insulation resistance, IV curve, inverter configuration, EMS dispatch, etc.).
  • Compare monitoring data with modeled performance (PVsyst, Helioscope, SAM) to confirm production expectations.
  • Monitor live system data post-commissioning to verify stable performance and identify underperformance trends.
• Communication & Coordination
  • Coordinate with software vendors and monitoring platform representatives for issue resolution, device mapping, and account management.
  • Support field staff by issuing updated test procedures, equipment configuration sheets, and troubleshooting guides.
• Quality Assurance & Compliance
  • Ensure commissioning documentation aligns with contractual requirements, utility interconnection procedures, and safety standards (NEC, NFPA, IEEE, UL).
  • Track and verify closure of punch list items, corrections, and retests prior to turnover.
  • Support internal QA/QC audits and lessons-learned initiatives.
  • Process Improvement & Support
  • Assist in developing standardized commissioning templates, test forms, and reporting tools.
  • Identify workflow inefficiencies and implement process improvements between Engineering, Construction, and QAQC teams.

Skills & Qualifications

• Associate or Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or related technical discipline (or equivalent experience).
• 2–5 years of experience in project coordination, commissioning, or data management within solar, ESS, or electrical infrastructure.
• Experience with monitoring and SCADA platforms such as AlsoEnergy, PowerTrack, SolarEdge, Energy Toolbase, or similar required.
• Familiarity with Modbus, TCP/IP networks, VPN configuration, and data acquisition hardware preferred.
• Strong organizational and documentation skills with proficiency in Microsoft Excel, SharePoint, Bluebeam, and data-tracking tools.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical one-lines, I/O schedules, and test procedures.
• Excellent written and verbal communication for technical correspondence and client interaction.
• High attention to detail and strong follow-through in managing document flow and project deliverables.
• Understanding of QA/QC processes, commissioning workflows, and utility interconnection standards.
• Certifications such as PMP, CQM-C, or NABCEP (or willingness to pursue) are a plus.
