The Commissioning Specialist will be responsible for supporting and executing commissioning activities for assigned systems from construction completion through system turnover. This includes reviewing documentation, coordinating field readiness, supporting functional testing, tracking deficiencies, confirming completion of prerequisites, and driving system handoff to the facilities or operations team.

The successful individual will be part of a project team responsible for delivering new facility systems that meet construction, commissioning, startup, quality, safety, and turnover milestones critical to the success of the project.

 Disciplines Needed:

 Instrumentation and Controls, I&C

Commissioning support for instrumentation, controls, PLCs, control panels, sensors, transmitters, field devices, alarms, interlocks, controls integration, loop checks, point to point verification, sequence testing, and controls documentation.

 Life Safety Systems, LSS

Commissioning support for fire alarm, gas detection, toxic gas monitoring, emergency power interfaces, evacuation systems, fire protection interfaces, alarm response functions, code required testing, and life safety system turnover.

 Mechanical

Commissioning support for mechanical systems including pumps, piping systems, utility systems, rotating equipment, valves, pressure testing support, flushing, cleaning, equipment readiness, and mechanical system turnover.

 HVAC

Commissioning support for air handling units, makeup air units, exhaust systems, ductwork, cleanroom HVAC, filtration, pressurization, temperature and humidity controls, balancing coordination, functional testing, and HVAC system turnover.

 Process

Commissioning support for process utility systems including specialty gases, bulk gases, chemical distribution, process piping, UPW, wastewater, exhaust, scrubbers, and other semiconductor facility process systems.

 Electrical

Commissioning support for electrical distribution, switchgear, transformers, MCCs, panels, emergency power, grounding, lighting controls, electrical testing coordination, energization readiness, and electrical system turnover.
