Responsibilities

• Lead field commissioning activities for Solar PV, BESS, and EV charging projects, ensuring compliance with design, specifications, and regulatory requirements.
• Perform advanced functional and acceptance testing on AC, DC, communication, and protection systems.
• Oversee and validate system energization, synchronization, and interconnection procedures.
• Configure, troubleshoot, and verify SCADA and DAS systems, ensuring proper integration with utility and client monitoring platforms.
• Validate communication networks (cellular, ethernet, fiber) and ensure redundancy where required.
• Witness and interpret test results for insulation resistance, hi-pot, continuity, grounding, relay/protection schemes, and inverter/battery performance.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to resolve field discrepancies in one-line diagrams, control schematics, and PLC/RTU programming.
• Train and mentor junior commissioning technicians on safe energization procedures, test equipment use, and best practices.
• Prepare detailed commissioning reports, test result documentation, and as-built redlines.
• Serve as client-facing commissioning representative, communicating technical findings and resolving punch list items.
• Ensure strict adherence to safety policies, lockout/tagout procedures, and OSHA requirements during energization activities.
• All other duties as required.

Skills / Other
