Description
Job PurposeThe Senior Electrical Commissioning Technician leads field execution teams in pre-commissioning, functional testing, cause & effect verification, and safe energization of MV/LV power distribution systems. Operating within a high-pressure EPC environment, this role oversees field isolation protocols, coordinates PTW activities, and ensures all electrical equipment and loops meet strict project safety and engineering specs.Key Responsibilities & Core ScopeMV/LV Pre-Commissioning & Commissioning:o Lead pre-commissioning and dynamic commissioning of Medium Voltage (MV) and Low Voltage (LV) distribution systems.o Conduct testing, inspection, and operational verification of Switchgear, Transformers, Motor Control Centers (MCCs), and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems.Loop Checks, Cause & Effect, & Functional Testing:o Execute end-to-end electrical loop checks, interlock verifications, and complete functional testing from field devices to the control room.o Perform Cause & Effect (C&E) logic testing for electrical trips, interlocking schemes, auto-transfer systems, and emergency shutdown integration.Energization Activities:o Prepare equipment, review safety boundaries, and directly execute high-risk MV/LV energization procedures in line with approved Commissioning Test Procedures (CTPs).o Oversee primary/secondary injection testing, breaker timing, and phase rotation checks prior to live power handover.Permit-to-Work (PTW) & Field Execution:o Act as the Performing/Isolating Authority for electrical Permit-to-Work (PTW) applications, Job Safety Analyses (JSAs), and safe Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) isolations.o Supervise field technicians and subcontractor teams to maintain safe execution on site.o Validate test dossiers, clear punch list items, and record red-line markups on Single Line Diagrams (SLDs) for final system completion.
