ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS & POWER COMMISSIONING LEAD
We are seeking an Electrical Systems & Power Commissioning Lead to own field-side commissioning of a complete electrical infrastructure on a large mission-critical project. The scope covers the full power path from utility interface through medium and low voltage gear, UPS systems, batteries, distribution panels, busway, and into the facility. This is a senior staff role within a newly formed commissioning team.
This position is at the site in Regina, Saskatchewan. 14 days on / 7 days off rotation.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and execute L2 and L3 tests for electrical systems including installation verification, startup, functional checks, and safety validation
- Lead mock-run of all L4 functional performance tests covering transfer sequences, failover behavior, breaker coordination, loss-of-component scenarios, maintenance bypass modes, and alarm responses
- Prepare all electrical systems for L4 and L5 integrated testing, then actively participate in L4 and L5 execution alongside the broader commissioning team
- Verify proper integration of fabricated assemblies including panels, skids, busway, and RPPs into the electrical system, closing remaining L3 checks that can only be completed on site
- Coordinate with the equipment integration lead to ensure vendor-furnished electrical equipment including UPS systems, switchgear, and generators is commissioned and supported per plan
- Collaborate with the controls and BMS lead to validate electrical sequences of operation and alarm and telemetry integrity in building management and power monitoring systems
- Document all tests, defects, and resolutions consistently in the commissioning tracking system
What We Are Looking For
- Deep experience with mission-critical or industrial electrical systems including UPS, generators, medium and low voltage switchgear, distribution panels, and busway
- Proven ability to lead complex commissioning, startup, and integrated testing for large electrical infrastructure
- Strong ability to read and interpret electrical single-line diagrams, protection schemes, and control logic
- Comfortable making real-time technical decisions during live tests and troubleshooting issues under time pressure with a clear bias toward safety and correctness
- Clear communicator capable of explaining technical behavior and risk to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders
Preferred Qualifications
- 7+ years in electrical commissioning, testing, or operations for data centres, power plants, or other mission-critical or heavy industrial facilities
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent technical experience
- Familiarity with formal commissioning methodologies including L1 to L5 frameworks and relevant standards such as ASHRAE, NFPA, and IEEE
- Experience with commissioning platforms such as CxAlloy, Procore, or Facility Grid
- Relevant certifications such as CxA, BCxP, NEBB, or P.Eng are an asset
- Heavy industrial electrical commissioning experience is welcomed alongside direct data centre experience
- Experience with UPS systems, medium and low voltage gear, and integrated failover testing is preferred
