Commissioning Engineer
The commissioning engineer will use a strong mechanical experience and experience in mission-critical and large, complex facilities to plan, execute, and document commissioning activities for data centers and similar environments. This role focuses on ensuring thatmechanical and related systems operate safely, reliably, and efficiently by developing procedures, performing functional testing, and optimizing building operations. The position requires frequent collaboration with internal teams, clients, contractors, and vendors to support successful project delivery across a variety of high-profile facilities.
Responsibilities:
- Participate in daily commissioning activity meetings to plan, coordinate, and review ongoing work across multiple projects.
- Perform equipment pre-start-up procedures and verify that systems are installed, configured, and ready for safe operation.
- Develop standard operating procedures (SOPs) and Methods of Procedure (MOPs) for mechanical and related systems in mission-critical facilities.
- Prepare detailed commissioning test procedures and reports that clearly document methods, results, and findings.
- Develop and maintain commissioning logs, equipment checklists, and other tools to track commissioning progress and issues.
- Write comprehensive commissioning reports, including recommendations for optimizing building operations, functional checklists, lists of deficiencies, and summaries of equipment operation and maintenance requirements.
- Review design criteria, specifications, drawings, equipment submittals, and other documentation relevant to commissioning to ensure alignment with project requirements and industry standards.
- Develop and administer functional tests for a wide range of systems, including mechanical central chilled water plants, packaged rooftop units, boilers, chillers, computer room air conditioning units, and fire protection systems.
- Conduct integrated system testing and building management system testing, and compile all testing procedure results into clear documentation.
- Interface with clients, contractors, equipment vendors, owners' representatives, and testing technicians to coordinate commissioning activities and resolve issues.
- Collaborate closely with internal engineering and design teams to align commissioning activities with overall project objectives.
- Execute project assignments in the field and office, ensuring that commissioning work meets quality, schedule, and safety expectations.
- Apply knowledge of IEEE procedures and protocols, where applicable, to commissioning processes and documentation.
- Support continuous improvement of commissioning practices by sharing lessons learned and contributing to internal standards and tools.
Essential Skills:
- Mechanical experience with hands-on experience in commissioning mechanical systems and equipment.
- Experience working within hospitals, large and complex facilities, and mission-critical facilities such as data centers, telecommunications sites, or disaster recovery sites.
- Strong understanding of commissioning processes, including development of SOPs, MOPs, test procedures, and commissioning documentation.
- Ability to review and interpret design criteria, specifications, drawings, and equipment submittals related to commissioning.
- Experience developing and administering functional tests for mechanical central chilled water plants, packaged rooftop units, boilers, chillers, computer room air conditioning units, and fire protection systems.
- Basic knowledge of system design and mechanical engineering principles as they apply to building systems and mission-critical facilities.
- Good communication skills with the ability to interface effectively with clients, contractors, equipment vendors, owners' agents, and internal teams.
- Experience in construction and commissioning activities in complex building environments.
- Commissioning certification or Professional Engineer (PE) credential.
- Familiarity with IEEE procedures and protocols.
- Ability to work extensively in the field, including extended stays on project sites and frequent travel.
Additional Skills & Qualifications:
- Bachelor's or Associate's degree in a relevant engineering or technical discipline is a strong plus.
- Architecture/Engineering (A/E) experience on complex facilities or mission-critical projects is highly desirable.
- OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 certification is a plus and demonstrates a commitment to safety.
- Experience with control systems, mechanical design, mechanical engineering, and mechanical equipment in building and mission-critical environments.
- Prior experience in multi-discipline design-build settings is beneficial.
- Interest in obtaining certification with major technology companies; willingness to pursue a certification path that may take approximately one year.
- Strong organizational skills to maintain logs, checklists, and comprehensive commissioning records.
- Ability to work independently and as part of a multi-disciplinary team in fast-paced, project-driven environments.
Work Environment:
The role involves working within a multi-discipline design-build environment that delivers a wide variety of project types, including hospitals, large and complex facilities, and mission-critical data centers.The culture emphasizes career growth, long-term employment, and continuous learning, with a strong record of employee longevity and advancement.There is a robust project backlog extending several years, providing consistent opportunities to engage in new and challenging work.
The position requires significant travel, typically 60–65% of the time, with frequent assignments that may involve being on site for 2–3 weeks at a time before traveling to the next project.Work is performed in both office and field settings, including active construction sites and operational facilities, where the commissioning engineer will interact with engineering, design, contractors, vendors, and client teams.The environment is dynamic and project-focused, with an emphasis on safety, collaboration, and delivering high-quality commissioning services for complex building systems.
Job Type & Location:
This is a Permanent position based out of Seattle, WA.
Pay and Benefits:
The pay range for this position is $100000.00 - $180000.00/yr. Profit Sharing, 401k, bonus, 4 salary evaluations a year
Workplace Type:
