• Assist with electrical equipment checkout before formal functional performance testing and commissioning.
• Perform point-to-point checks, wiring verification, and continuity checks against electrical drawings, schematics, test procedures, and commissioning checklists.
• Support functional testing of electrical equipment, controls, and associated EPMS monitoring points.
• Identify wiring, installation, termination, configuration, or equipment deficiencies and escalate issues to the engineering team.
• Assist with testing and commissioning of switchgear, UPS systems, automatic transfer switches (ATS), transformers, circuit breakers, generators, and power distribution units (PDUs) as required.
• Use single-line diagrams, electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and checklists to verify installation completeness and test readiness.
• Accurately record test results, deficiencies, punch-list items, and maintain required commissioning documentation and test records.
• Support retesting and verification following correction of deficiencies or failed test items.
• Assist with basic electrical troubleshooting and fault identification during equipment checkout and functional testing.
• Follow project electrical safety, LOTO, and site safety requirements and work closely with senior engineers during energized equipment testing or other higher-risk activities.
• Collaborate with commissioning, engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams to support successful completion of Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and equipment release for shipment.

Qualifications

• Hands-on knowledge of electrical testing and commissioning fundamentals.
• Experience performing point-to-point testing, wiring verification, equipment checkout, or electrical inspection.
