Overview 

The Senior Commissioning Engineer serves as the Project Site Lead, providing overall leadership and technical oversight of the commissioning process for ON.energy’s mission-critical, medium-voltage double-conversion UPS systems built on utility-scale BESS equipment (batteries, transformers, PCS, and controls). Leading site-based teams of 10–50 people from installation through commissioning, acceptance testing, and handover to services, the Senior Commissioning Engineer owns critical-path execution, stakeholder communication, and final commissioning sign-off for the site. 

This is a senior, high-travel field leadership role for an engineer with deep BESS and power systems expertise who is equally comfortable leading a large multidisciplinary site team, interpreting a complex test plan, and serving as the customer-facing technical authority on site.
