• Coordinate Site Work: Follow commissioning plans and coordinate with third-party commissioning authorities and other site teams
• Verify Readiness and Safety: Confirm installation, site conditions, and required services before energizing equipment; stop and escalate unsafe or unready conditions
• Troubleshoot Equipment: Diagnose faults using alarms, trends, and systematic troubleshooting; safely isolate, recover, shut down, and restart equipment
• Service Chillers: Perform refrigerant-side work, including evacuation, charging, leak detection, and recovery, in accordance with local requirements
• Work across chiller PLCs and compressor controllers; verify released software and firmware; configure network settings; and troubleshoot BAS integration over BACnet, Modbus, and EtherNet/IP
• Review sequences of operation, diagnose variable frequency drive faults, and assess compressor behavior, including surge and capacity limits
• Complete commissioning records and field reports with readings, photographs, signatures, unit and activity details, deficiencies, and issue tracking
• Assign crew work, maintain quality standards, supervise service partners, and mentor technicians
• Identify work outside the sold scope before performing it and report it for pricing
• Communicate professionally with customers, general contractors, commissioning authorities, and other trades
