Electrical Engineer – Power Innovation

Electrical Engineer Power Innovation (Commissioning)

Position Summary

The Electrical Engineer Power Innovation supports the safe reliable and efficient commissioning and startup of power generation and energy systems. This role provides electrical engineering expertise throughout pre-commissioning commissioning and turnover ensuring systems are properly tested verified and ready for operation.

Responsibilities

Provide electrical engineering support across commissioning startup and system turnover phases

Lead and support electrical commissioning activities including testing verification and troubleshooting of:

Switchgear transformers generators and associated systems

Protection relays and control systems

Validate power system studies (short circuit coordination arc flash) and ensure alignment with as-built conditions prior to energization

Execute and oversee electrical testing activities (e.g. insulation resistance hi-pot relay testing functional verification)

Support pre-commissioning activities including loop checks calibration and protection system verification

Coordinate and participate in FAT SAT PSSR and RFSU processes to ensure systems meet requirements for startup and turnover

Collaborate with Project Management Construction Commissioning Controls and Operations teams to ensure aligned execution and system readiness

Work directly in the field to support testing troubleshooting and issue resolution during commissioning and startup

Ensure compliance with NEC NFPA 70E IEEE standards and company safety requirements

Support BESS and power generation system integration including system-level testing and performance validation

Develop and maintain commissioning documentation including ITRs test records redlines and turnover packages

Identify track and drive resolution of punch list items prior to system handover

Coordinate with vendors to support installation testing and commissioning activities

Promote continuous improvement and support development of standardized commissioning processes and tools

Mentor and support development of junior engineers
