Commissioning & Testing

• Manage the commissioning process and contracted commissioning consultant for assigned APAC projects.
• Oversee the end-to-end commissioning process (Factory Acceptance Testing Site Acceptance Testing Integrated Systems Testing and Performance Verification).
• Review commissioning plans scripts and checklists to validate system performance against design intent.
• Collaborate with the internal Development and Design team to drive the safety and quality standards and global best practices to meet Singtel internal and customers requirements.
• Coordinate with consultants contractors vendors and operations teams to ensure seamless transition from construction to operational handover.
• Oversee functional performance testing (FPT) and failure mode testing of critical systems (UPS switchover generator load banks cooling failover etc.).
• Identify and resolve design flaws installation errors or performance gaps before facility go-live.
• Review and optimise the implementation of documentation on commissioning platform.
• Conduct onsite reviews and audits of the commissioning process in APAC
• Knowledgeable in both Mechanical and Electrical services specifically in ACMV system Hydraulic system thermodynamics refrigeration cycle.
