    • Protection relays and control systems 

    • Validate power system studies (short circuit, coordination, arc flash) and ensure alignment with as-built conditions prior to energization 

    • Execute and oversee electrical testing activities (e.g., insulation resistance, hi-pot, relay testing, functional verification) 

    • Support pre-commissioning activities, including loop checks, calibration, and protection system verification 

    • Coordinate and participate in FAT, SAT, PSSR, and RFSU processes to ensure systems meet requirements for startup and turnover 

    • Collaborate with Project Management, Construction, Commissioning, Controls, and Operations teams to ensure aligned execution and system readiness 

    • Work directly in the field to support testing, troubleshooting, and issue resolution during commissioning and startup 

    • Ensure compliance with NEC, NFPA 70E, IEEE standards, and company safety requirements 

    • Support BESS and power generation system integration, including system-level testing and performance validation 

    • Develop and maintain commissioning documentation, including ITRs, test records, redlines, and turnover packages 

    • Identify, track, and drive resolution of punch list items prior to system handover 

    • Coordinate with vendors to support installation, testing, and commissioning activities 

    • Promote continuous improvement and support development of standardized commissioning processes and tools 

    • Mentor and support development of junior engineers 

    • Other duties as assigned 

    Required Qualifications 

    • Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering (ABET accredited), or 
      Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering Technology with a Professional Engineer (P.E.) license

    • Working knowledge of: 

    • Electrical power systems and equipment (switchgear, transformers, generators) 

    • Electrical drawings, one-line diagrams, and control systems 

    • Commissioning, testing, and startup processes 

    Preferred Qualifications 

    • Professional Engineer (P.E.) license or actively pursuing 

    • Experience with power generation, data centers, or BESS systems 

    • Experience supporting or leading commissioning and startup activities 

    • Familiarity with FAT/SAT execution and turnover processes 

    Technical Skills 

    • Proficiency with power system analysis tools (e.g., ETAP, SKM, PSCAD, MATLAB, or similar) 

    • Experience with protection relay testing and electrical test equipment (e.g., Omicron, Doble, Megger) 

    • Understanding of: 

    • Protection coordination and arc flash analysis 

    • Grid integration and energy storage systems 

    • DCS/SCADA systems and electrical integration 

    Work Environment 

    • Field-based role supporting active construction, commissioning, and startup environments 

    • Requires the ability to work in industrial settings and follow all required safety protocols 

    Work Schedule & Other Details 

    • 6 days a week (Mon-Sat), 10 hrs a day  

    • Work in a variety of conditions, including extreme temperatures, loud areas, and confined spaces 

    • Lift up to 50 lbs and team-lift heavier loads 

    • Stand, walk, climb, bend, and squat for extended periods 

    • Work at elevated levels using ladders, scaffolding, or lifts with appropriate PPE 

    • Use hand tools and mechanical diagnostic equipment 

    • Occasional shiftwork on nights and holidays
