Position Overview:
We are seeking an experienced Sr. Commissioning Electrical Engineer who will lead end-to-end commissioning of MV / LV power systems and their interfaces to MEP (HVAC, Fire, BMS) so the asset reaches safe, compliant, and fully documented handover (FAC) on time., to spec, and fully documented.
Key Responsibilities:
- Plan and run the commissioning program (lots, sequences, windows) aligned to the construction master schedule; keep a live CAT (Commissioning Activity Tracker) and punch/defect logs.
- Witness and validate tests to Project Specs and international standards (IEC/BS EN/NFPA as applicable), issue completion certificates and close comments to final acceptance.
- Prepare and review test procedures, ITPs, test packs, IRN/IRE, PSAT/SAT reports, and observation NCRs; ensure version control and audit-ready documentation.
- Coordinate daily with GC/subcontractors/vendors/Consultant on prerequisites, energization windows, and permit-to-work.

- Validate MEP system commissioning interfaces (HVAC/Plumbing/Fire/BMS) from an electrical perspective: power-up readiness, interlocks, controls, alarms, and IST participation.
- Draft and deliver O&M and training manuals, spares lists, and warranties; support training and client sign-off.
- Drive regular progress/technical/Cx meetings; surface risks early and execute recovery plans. Day-to-day ELV commissioning planning, priorities, and resourcing; maintain live trackers and punch/defect logs.

- Solid documentation discipline: test packs, ITPs, PSAT / SAT, certificates, CAT trackers, red-lines/as-builts.
- Coordination with GC/Consultant/subs and crisp, standards-based technical communication.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Interfaces with BMS / Fire Alarm during IST; ELV familiarity is a plus but not core.
