Electrical Commissioning Engineer

About the Role

Facility Performance Consulting Global (FPC Global) is expanding rapidly and is looking for a Senior Electrical Commissioning Engineer skilled in managing Tier III / Tier IV data centre infrastructures. This critical, site-focused position demands hands-on leadership for electrical commissioning across mission-critical environments to ensure systems conform to design intents and achieve operational readiness per Uptime Institute, IEC, IEEE, and NFPA standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead comprehensive commissioning of critical electrical systems, including MV/LV utilities, distribution networks, transformers, protection systems, switchgear, busway systems, UPS (static and rotary), battery systems, standby generators, paralleling equipment, load bank systems, STS, PDUs, and RPPs.
• Create and implement Integrated Systems Testing (IST) strategies and test scripts in line with Uptime Institute methodologies, overseeing failure mode assessments, redundancy checks, and fault tolerance verifications.
• Supervise and participate in Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), and Functional Performance Testing (FPT) to validate operation across normal, abnormal, and failure scenarios.
• Conduct design and peer reviews focusing on commissionability, operational resilience, and reviewing electrical schematics, protection philosophies, and vendor documentation.
• Validate integration of electrical systems within EPMS and BMS control platforms, ensuring alarm functionality, trending, interlocking, and operation visibility during testing.
• Collaborate with project managers, construction teams, MEP contractors, OEMs, clients, and other commissioning teams to ensure complete system integration.
• Prepare and maintain commissioning plans, test procedures, checklists, issue logs, punch lists, risk registers, reports, and facilitate smooth client handover.
• Ensure adherence to all relevant standards (Uptime Institute Tiers, IEC, IEEE, NFPA, NEC, local regulations) and enforce safety, environmental, and quality policies.
• Identify and resolve issues during commissioning phases, managing risks related to programme outcomes, safety, and system availability.
• Promote site health and safety compliance including RAMS reviews, toolbox talks, and risk assessments, while mentoring commissioning teams and subcontractors.

Candidate Profile and Qualifications

• A Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (B.Tech / B.E.) or equivalent is mandatory.
• At least 10 years of relevant experience in electrical testing and commissioning complex facilities with a minimum of 5 years in data centre or mission-critical infrastructure commissioning, demonstrating leadership in IST execution.
• Expert know-how in critical power systems, redundancy schemes, protection coordination, relay testing, UPS and generator testing, energisation techniques, fault simulation, and black-building tests.
• Proven track record in maintaining technical quality across multiple projects.
• Experienced in preparing commissioning specifications, scripting, validation of operational sequences, and authoring detailed technical and executive reports.
• Proficient with EPMS, BMS, and digital commissioning tools; skilled in AutoCAD, BIM, and Visio.
• Knowledge of cloud platforms such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon and data analytics is advantageous.
• Familiarity with international architectural workflow standards like RIBA/AIA and experience with Fault Detection and Diagnostics (FDD) or automated commissioning systems preferred.
