Job Description

○ Identify opportunities for process improvements in commissioning readiness (prerequisites, checklists, documentation quality, and evidence capture).

Key Responsibilities

CxA Support & Coordination: Support coordination with third-party Commissioning Agents on assigned projects. Assist with review of scripts/deliverables, witness testing as needed, and help verify that results and evidence are accurate and complete.
o Work with a third party commissioning agent on development, review, and implementation of project specific commissioning plans.
The Built to Run Standard: Perform spot checks of field testing and documentation. Help ensure that passing a test requires adherence to the Sequence of Operations (SOO) and that test evidence supports the result.
Quality Assurance analysis Support metrics and leading indicators of Critical and High issues during Level 4, RVT and Level 5 (IST) inspection checklists.
Gating Authority: Support formal gating of systems between levels of commissioning by confirming prerequisites, documentation, and readiness. Escalate when quality of installation or documentation does not meet the Reliability Standard.
Priority Tracking: Manage the master Commissioning Issue Log (Cx Log) for assigned projects. Categorize issues (Critical, High, Medium, Low) and drive Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for Level 4 and 5 Critical and High issues through verified closeout.
Risk Mitigation: Collaborate with Site Operations to assess the impact of open deficiencies. Define workarounds or Manual Operating Procedures (MOPs) when appropriate and ensure risks are documented and understood.
Contractor Alignment: Hold General Contractors and vendors accountable to the commissioning schedule, documentation requirements, and technical design intent.
Collaborate with project teams, architects, engineers, and subcontractors to support the successful implementation and verification of MEP systems.
Communicate Report status, successes, challenges, and plans of action to management and the broader team on a timely basis.
Training- Train 3rd party personnel, including the Commissioning Manager, GC MEP Coordinator & Commissioning Project Managers on the Aligned Quality & Commissioning Programs.
Experience with Cx Alloy or equivalent platform.
Manage Cx Alloy use and requirements for each project assigned.
Develop and maintain a feedback loop local to the project and continuously refine risk models, adapt strategies, and track lessons learned.
Accountability: Enforce the project’s QA/QC Policy. Define exactly what a passing installation looks like (e.g., specific torque patterns, pipe cleanliness, or cable dressing standards).
QA Technical Leadership & Contractor Oversight: Manage and provide day-to-day direction for third-party (contract) Mechanical and Electrical QA Specialists, including tasking, prioritization, coverage planning, and calibration to the Built to Run standard. Review field reports for quality, consistency, and risk; ensure findings translate into clear corrective/preventive actions; and document performance feedback and escalation through the vendor (not direct employee supervision).
Trend Analysis: Don’t just track individual issues—identify systemic patterns, quantify risk, and drive closure. When repeat failures occur (e.g., the same breaker fails across multiple rooms), you lead structured root-cause analysis and corrective/preventive actions (CAPA) to determine whether the driver is supplier defect, installation method, design interpretation, or environmental/operational factors.
Gating Authority: Level 3 to Level 4 Gatekeeper. You independently validate readiness criteria and sign the “Readiness Memo” confirming a room/system is physically complete, clean, accessible/serviceable, and correctly documented. You align open items with Construction, Vendors, and Commissioning so Functional Testing does not begin until quality risk is understood and accepted.
Reliability: You are responsible to ensure all equipment, and system ancillary equipment is accessible and serviceable. (i.e.) Strainers, Valves, filters, VRFs, Electrical panels.
