  • Owner’s Representative Duties:
    Conduct quality control inspections, manage punch lists, and perform system walkdowns for project turnover.
  • BESS Commissioning:
    Lead startup and validation of lithium-ion battery systems, including BMS (Battery Management Systems), PCS (Power Conversion Systems), and DC/AC subsystems.
  • SCADA & Controls Verification:
    Validate SCADA/HMI systems, ICCP communications, alarms, and overall plant control system performance.
  • Scheduling & Reporting:
    Develop commissioning schedules, track progress against project timelines, and document all testing and commissioning activities.
  • Safety Compliance:
    Enforce all site safety policies, OSHA standards, and company-specific safety protocols. Required Qualifications
