Job description
BESS Field Commissioning Coordinator (Entry Level)
Join a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) developer and support the on-site commissioning team as an entry-level Commissioning Coordinator. This role helps coordinate day-to-day field activities during delivery, installation, quality checks, plant testing, commissioning, and startup of BESS (and, where applicable, solar-coupled) power systems. Working under the direction of the Commissioning Manager and project leadership, you will assist with jobsite safety practices, documentation, status reporting, and turnover tracking, while learning commissioning processes and standards. The position is designed for a recent two-year college graduate who is eager to develop technical and field experience in utility-scale energy projects.
US travel and stay at project locations for the duration of commissioning activities. Travel up to 75%. When not on site, support the team remotely with documentation, progress tracking, and coordination (including support for remote monitoring tools as assigned).
Reports To: Commissioning Manager / Lead
Associate degree (two-year college) in Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) (preferred) or a closely related technical program. No direct commissioning or BESS field experience is required; internships, co-ops, lab-intensive coursework, capstone projects, military technical training, or hands-on trade school experience are a plus. Helpful coursework includes AC/DC circuits, three-phase power, motors/transformers, electrical prints (one-lines/schematics), instrumentation & measurement, basic PLC/controls, and safety fundamentals (OSHA/NFPA 70E awareness).
Willingness to learn BESS equipment, installation practices, and commissioning workflows (walkdowns, checklists, test forms, and turnover documentation)
Strong electrical fundamentals from EET coursework (AC/DC circuits, basic power calculations, and safe measurement practices)
Ability to read and interpret one-line diagrams, schematics, wiring diagrams, and equipment nameplates (training provided for site-specific standards)
Introductory familiarity with three-phase power systems and electrical equipment (switchgear, breakers, transformers, meters) through EET coursework or hands-on training
Interest in protection, controls, and troubleshooting; willingness to learn protection relays, inverters, and BMS/EMS interfaces and escalate issues appropriately
General familiarity with industrial components and systems (e.g., containers/skids, controllers, inverters, transformers, combiner panels) is a plus
Able to support quality checks and punch-list tracking (identify issues, document them clearly, and follow up for closure)
Comfort working around electrical equipment; understands the importance of LOTO, PPE, and electrical safety practices (NFPA 70E awareness) and can learn site-specific rules under supervision
Basic instrument use (digital multimeter/clamp meter) and ability to accurately record readings, measurements, and observations in checklists and reports
Interest in control/SCADA systems; basic PLC/HMI, networking, or industrial communications coursework (Modbus, Ethernet) is a plus
Strong organization skills and ability to manage multiple tasks in a field environment
Working knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint (or willingness to learn quickly)
Professional communication skills with contractors, vendors, and internal stakeholders
Basic understanding of schedules and planning; able to track progress and flag constraints
Commitment to safety and willingness to learn applicable electrical codes and jobsite means/methods
Participate in the site safety program, attend toolbox talks, and follow all safety procedures and permit requirements
Support system quality walkdowns by comparing installation to drawings/specifications and recording observations and punch-list items
Assist with mechanical completion walkdowns and basic electrical verification under supervision (labeling checks, terminations/torque verification, continuity checks as directed)
Help maintain energization and commissioning readiness checklists (permits, clearances, documents, required signoffs)
Coordinate with EPC/OEM teams to track commissioning activities, open items, and upcoming test windows; escalate risks to the Commissioning Manager
Support troubleshooting by gathering field data (alarms, event logs, meter readings), documenting symptoms clearly, and coordinating follow-ups with responsible parties
Assist with preparation, review, and filing of test forms, checklists, redlines, and project closeout documentation
Provide daily/weekly status updates (progress, open issues, and needs) using standard templates and reporting tools
Support meetings and coordination with internal teams and third parties by taking notes, tracking action items, and following up for closure
Help coordinate third-party testing activities (e.g., substation, metering) by confirming schedules, access, and document needs
Support energization readiness by tracking prerequisites and ensuring required documentation is available to the team
Assist with metering and performance test support tasks (data collection, form completion, coordination)
Support the commissioning team with ISO/GIA/PPA-related testing preparation by organizing requirements and tracking deliverables as directed
Review test requirements and contractual test criteria with the team to understand scope and documentation needs (training provided)
Coordinate with Engineering, Commissioning, and Project Management to confirm testing prerequisites and required support resources
Assist in maintaining the project testing plan by tracking deliverables and ensuring documents are complete and submitted on time
Support alignment meetings before and during performance testing by preparing agendas, capturing notes, and tracking action items
Support test administration tasks such as data collection, basic data checks, and organizing results for review by the Commissioning Manager
Performs other job-related duties as assigned
Must be able to see color to discern color-coded wiring and/or tape.
Prolonged periods of standing with intermittent kneeling or bending.
Must be physically capable of walking on the jobsite on varied, uneven terrain and/or varied temperatures and weather elements.
