The Commissioning Engineer represents electrical commissioning for the project team from the estimating process all the way to project completion. The Commissioning Engineer will participate in various project meetings to engage with the project team and perform electrical commissioning reviews during estimating, engineering, procurement, and construction phases. Further, the role will require supporting the onsite project commissioning team by drafting procedures and assisting onsite with major milestones in commissioning and project startup.

It is understood that the Commissioning Engineer, while they may be conversant with the process, will not likely be considered an SME in all process technologies and disciplines. For this reason, the engineer will act as a conduit to CSU Technical Services Managers (or delegated Advisors) who are SMEs in the particular technology, or discipline, to assist with the commissioning process whenever required. Deliverables may include equipment commissioning checklists, commissioning procedures, electrical testing specifications, start-up philosophies, and presentation material.

The Commissioning Engineer will be required to review the project electrical design deliverables throughout the project lifecycle and report issues to the relevant parties, the Commissioning Manager, and the Director of Commissioning.
