- Review electrical schematics, single line diagrams, protection philosophies and vendor technical submittals.

EPMS / BMS / Controls Integration

- Validate integration of electrical systems with EPMS and BMS platforms.
- Verify alarms, trending, sequencing, interlocks, and operational visibility during IST.

Project Interface & Coordination

- Work closely with project managers, construction teams, MEP contractors, OEMs, and client representatives.
- Coordinate with mechanical and IT commissioning teams to ensure holistic system integration.

Documentation & Handover

- Develop and manage:

- Commissioning plans and execution strategies
- Test scripts, procedures, and checklists
- Issue logs, punch lists, and risk registers
- Final commissioning reports and systems manuals
