  • Minimum 3 years of commissioning experience working for an EPC contractor supporting renewable energy projects.
  • Demonstrated experience commissioning substations, utility-scale solar, battery energy storage systems (BESS), or other power generation facilities.
  • Strong knowledge of electrical construction and commissioning practices, including NEC and NFPA standards.
  • Experience with:
    • SCADA integration and troubleshooting
    • Electrical, Instrumentation & Controls (E&I)
    • Protection and Control systems
    • Grid interconnection and energization activities
    • Electrical testing and startup procedures
  • Ability to review engineering drawings, commissioning procedures, and technical documentation.
  • Strong project coordination, planning, scheduling, and progress reporting skills.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF editing software, and document management systems.
  • Excellent communication and problem-solving skills with the ability to collaborate across engineering, construction, operations, utilities, and third-party vendors.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and prioritize competing deadlines.
  • Willingness to travel extensively and support off-hours, weekend, and outage-related commissioning activities.
