• Perform Functional Acceptance Testing (FAT) to confirm electrical systems operate in accordance with approved sequences, design requirements, and project specifications.
• Test intra-system dependencies between electrical systems and other building systems to verify proper operation and control sequences.
• Participate in Integrated Systems Testing (IST) to verify coordinated operation between electrical systems and other mission-critical building systems.
• Review and verify electrical load bank testing results and document system performance, efficiency, and operating metrics.
• Issue Green Tag certification when electrical systems have successfully completed required commissioning activities and are ready for the next phase of testing or acceptance.
• Identify, document, and track deficiencies, commissioning issues, and non-conformances through resolution.
• Maintain detailed electrical commissioning documentation within the Smart Completions system.
• Create and maintain Non-Conformance Logs (NCLs), commissioning punch lists, test records, and system documentation.
• Generate comprehensive commissioning reports and provide accurate documentation to project stakeholders and the owner.
• Verify electrical systems meet applicable LEED, energy-efficiency, ASHRAE 90.1, code, and project-specific requirements.
• Review O&M manuals, as-built drawings, test documentation, and turnover packages for completeness and accuracy.
• Attend weekly commissioning team meetings and provide updates on electrical commissioning progress, issues, risks, and upcoming activities.
• Coordinate with MEP/FP inspectors, special inspectors, testing agencies, controls personnel, contractors, engineers, and other commissioning disciplines.
• Collaborate with Facility Operations teams and project stakeholders to support system readiness, owner acceptance, and Blue Tag certification.
• Lead or support training sessions for facility personnel covering electrical system operation, controls, troubleshooting, and maintenance.
• Assist with owner acceptance activities and resolution of outstanding electrical commissioning issues.
• Support post-occupancy commissioning activities, including facility operations meetings, electrical system troubleshooting, LEED documentation, and final commissioning reports.
• Any other duties or responsibilities that may be assigned to you in your role. 

Skills Required:

• Lighting Controls Technician (ATT-L) – strongly preferred
• 3–5+ years of hands-on electrical commissioning experience in semiconductor or high-tech facilities.
