• Develop junior personnel from initial field exposure through supervised execution and independent electrical commissioning competency.
• Train personnel across the electrical commissioning lifecycle, including L2 installation verification, L3 startup, L4 functional performance testing, L5 integrated systems testing, and turnover.
• Provide field training on MV/LV switchgear, transformers, generators, UPS, ATS/STS, PDUs/RPPs, busway, battery systems, grounding systems, EPMS, and associated electrical controls.
• Teach personnel to interpret electrical one-lines, schematics, wiring diagrams, sequences of operation, specifications, equipment submittals, protection studies, and approved settings.
• Provide practical instruction on electrical testing, including insulation resistance, continuity, grounding, breaker and relay testing, primary/secondary injection, CT/PT verification, transformer testing, phase rotation, torque verification, and functional testing.
• Train personnel on electrical energization readiness and safe work practices, including NFPA 70E, LOTO/COHE, arc-flash requirements, PPE, absence-of-voltage verification, and energized work controls.
• Develop troubleshooting competency across electrical distribution, controls, communications, protection systems, and electrical equipment.
• Train personnel to identify and document electrical installation deficiencies, QA/QC issues, commissioning defects, failed test conditions, and system readiness risks.
• Provide instruction on electrical commissioning documentation, including test scripts, checklists, deficiency reports, test evidence, commissioning records, and turnover documentation.
• Coordinate with Commissioning Managers and Leads to identify upcoming electrical commissioning activities that provide training and development opportunities.
• Develop individual training plans and conduct field competency assessments to document technical progression and readiness for additional responsibility.
• Identify recurring electrical commissioning knowledge gaps and develop targeted training materials using lessons learned, troubleshooting examples, and commissioning best practices.
• Support consistent electrical commissioning execution, testing methodology, documentation quality, and technical standards across project locations.
• Provide technical leadership with feedback on personnel readiness, competency gaps, training priorities, and development needs.
• Support the development of personnel with the potential to progress into Electrical Commissioning Engineer, Lead, and SME positions.

Skills Required:

• Extensive hands-on electrical commissioning experience within data center, semiconductor, or other mission-critical facilities.
• Strong knowledge of medium- and low-voltage electrical distribution systems, including switchgear, transformers, generators, UPS, ATS/STS, PDUs/RPPs, busway, battery systems, protective relays, and EPMS.
• Strong understanding of L2–L5 electrical commissioning, startup, energization, functional performance testing, Integrated Systems Testing (IST), and turnover.
• Experience performing or overseeing electrical testing, troubleshooting, and commissioning of mission-critical power systems.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical one-line diagrams, schematics, wiring diagrams, specifications, sequences of operation, equipment documentation, and protection studies.
• Strong knowledge of NFPA 70E, electrical LOTO/COHE, arc-flash requirements, and safe electrical work practices.
• Demonstrated ability to train and mentor Electrical Commissioning Engineers and Technicians through hands-on field instruction.
• Strong communication, leadership, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability and willingness to travel approximately 75–90% to active construction and commissioning project sites.

Education / Licenses / Certifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering preferred.
• Journeyman or Master Electrician license preferred.
• NFPA 70E Electrical Safety training preferred.
• Electrical commissioning or electrical testing certification preferred.
• Proof of education, licenses, and certifications will be required where applicable.

Benefits:
