Commissioning & Field ExecutionLocation: Charlotte,NC (Field)Compensation discussed during final conversation.Why This Role ExistsThe Southeast data center corridor—Virginia through Georgia—has the highest concentration of active hyperscale construction.Commissioning delays on these projects carry real safety‑and‑risk exposure, and flying engineers across the region create gaps that compound punch lists.You will own L1–L5 commissioning on multi‑vendor protection systems, design‑through‑acceptance, regionally anchored where project density demands consistent presence.What You OwnFAT/SAT/IST test procedures for protection relays, generator controllers, ATS, and SCADA systemsFunctional performance testing: protection scheme verification, trip coordination, interlock validationStaged commissioning planning: board‑by‑board or zone‑by‑zone cutover with deterministic rollbackTransfer testing: open‑transition and closed‑transition sequences, retransfer with time delayPunch‑list management through closeout and owner acceptanceTurnover packages: commissioning records, as‑built documentation, O&M manualsSystems You'll TouchVendor PlatformsSELWoodwardCaterpillarOmicronDobleSoftware ToolsAcSELerator QuickSetAcSELerator RTACStandardsNFPA70EIEEE1584Test PhasesFactory Acceptance Test (FAT)Site Acceptance Test (SAT)Secondary injection testingFunctional performance testingWitness testingStaged commissioning / cutoverSite ActivitiesAutomatic mode transitionsATS control (open/closed transition)What Success Looks LikeFirst 90 DaysCompleted commissioning or witness testing on at least one Southeast data center projectDeveloped FAT or SAT test procedures for a protection relay or controller scopeEstablished working relationships with at least one prime contractor commissioning team in the regionFirst 180 DaysLeading commissioning execution on Southeast corridor projects — owning the full commissioning scopeIndependently conducting witness testing with owner representatives presentKnown contact for prime contractors in the Southeast region for P&C commissioning needsRequired Background5+ years commissioning experience on medium‑voltage critical power systems (data centers, substations, industrial)FAT/SAT procedure development and execution for protection relays and generator controllersSecondary injection testing with Omicron or Doble test setsTransfer testing experience: ATS open/closed transition, generator paralleling, load bank testingNFPA70E compliance: arc‑flash PPE, approach boundaries, LOTO procedures on energized equipmentPunch‑list management and turnover documentation experiencePreferred BackgroundNETA Level III or IV certificationSEL relay commissioning (QuickSet, 751/700G families)Woodward generator controller commissioning (easYgen3400, LS‑6)Experience working with AE/MEP/EPC prime contractors on data center projectsBased in or willing to relocate to the Southeast (NC, VA, GA, TN, FL)What to Expect in the FieldTravel 40–60% during commissioning phases. Regional focus—Southeast corridor (VA, NC, GA, TN, FL).Site Hours: early starts, occasional weekends. More predictable schedule with regional focus vs. nationwide travel.Customer‑Facing: direct interface with prime contractor commissioning leads and owner representatives. Regional relationships built over time.Documentation: heavy — test procedures, commissioning records, punch lists, turnover packages.Field SafetyNFPA70E compliance mandatory — arc‑flash PPE, approach boundaries, daily safety briefingsWhy ZigguratRegional focus means you build relationships with the primes building in the Southeast, not just pass through projectsCommission what we designed — relay settings, automation logic, and coordination curves come from the same teamYour field feedback improves the next design — direct loop between site reality and the engineering officeGrowing into the densest hyperscale construction corridor in the country#J-18808-Ljbffr
