📋 Description

• Act as the Owner’s single point of authority for commissioning on the project, providing independent, objective oversight of the design team, general contractor, startup contractors, and third-party CxA. • Enforce the Owner’s commissioning standards, OPR, and program requirements; embed Owner expectations into the project’s commissioning process from design through turnover. • Identify gaps early in the process and offer creative solutions to maintain milestone schedules. • Review and approve the commissioning plan, testing plans, test scripts (IVC, FPT, IST), schedules, and turnover documentation produced by the CxA and contractors before execution and before Owner acceptance. • Participate in design and submittal reviews (L0–L1) to confirm commissioning feasibility and that Owner requirements are reflected in the design. • Witness and independently verify installation verification (L2), energization and startup (L3), functional performance testing (L4), and integrated systems testing (L5); validate results against acceptance criteria. • Personally evaluate the technical adequacy of testing; sequence of operations, failure-mode scenarios, system interactions, and reject incomplete or non-conforming work. • Track commissioning progress, deficiencies, and risk against project milestones; escalate issues to Owner leadership and drive resolution and re-test verification. • Represent the Owner’s commissioning interests in project meetings, protecting uptime, quality, and schedule across the owner–contractor–engineer dynamic. • Verify deficiency closeout, as-commissioned documentation, systems manuals, and operator training before recommending Owner acceptance and turnover to operations (L6). • Verify field commissioning is conducted in compliance with NFPA 70E electrical safe work practices, lockout/tagout, and job-hazard-analysis discipline.
