Electrical Commissioning Supervisor

Role Overview: The Electrical Commissioning Supervisor is responsible for overseeing the pre-commissioning and commissioning of HV and LV electrical systems and equipment within a project. This role focuses on ensuring that all electrical components are installed, tested, and validated according to design specifications, procedures, and operational requirements, contributing to the safe and e$icient operation of the facility.

Responsibilities

• Commissioning Planning o Develop comprehensive commissioning plans, and procedures for electrical systems, outlining objectives, procedures, and schedules for testing and validation. o Collaborate with project engineers and other disciplines to ensure electrical commissioning activities are integrated into the overall project schedule. o Review Vendors procedures for electrical testing.
• Testing and Verification: o Supervise Vendors and Subcontractor’ testing of electrical systems, including power distribution, transformers, HV and LV switchgears, control systems, interfaces, interlocks, loop checks and safety devices. o Supervise electrical system integration tests to ensure that electrical systems operate correctly and safely. o Supervise Protections testing & settings
• Test Procedure Development: o Create and / or review commissioning test procedures (CTPs) for electrical systems, ensuring they are detailed and comply with industry standards. o Ensure that test procedures are clear and provide specific instructions for conducting tests safely and e$ectively. o Determine temporary system requirements to enable commissioning testing o Prepare schedules for Vendor testing, assistance and support o Determine plant, equipment, tools and specialist tool requirements for commissioning
• Issue Identification and Troubleshooting: o Identify and troubleshoot electrical issues that arise during the precommissioning and commissioning process, working closely with other Site disciplines to implement solutions. o Document any discrepancies from design specifications in Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) and coordinate corrective actions.
• Documentation and Reporting: o Prepare or review detailed commissioning reports summarizing testing activities, results, and any issues encountered during the electrical commissioning process. o Maintain accurate records of all electrical commissioning activities, including test results, inspection reports, punch lists, and compliance documentation.
• Collaboration and Communication: o Work collaboratively with the Commissioning Manager, Subcontractors, Vendors, and other engineers to ensure the e$ective execution of commissioning tasks. o Communicate test results and findings to project stakeholders, including Commissioning Manager and clients, ensuring transparency and alignment.
• Safety Compliance: o Adhere to all health, safety, and environmental regulations during electrical commissioning activities. o Ensure that all safety protocols are followed and that personnel involved in commissioning are trained in relevant safety practices.
• Final Acceptance and Handover: o Participate in the final acceptance process, ensuring that all electrical systems are fully tested and verified to meet acceptance criteria. o Facilitate the handover of commissioned electrical systems to the operations team, ensuring they receive the necessary documentation and training Skills and Qualifications:
• A degree in electrical engineering or a related field, with substantial experience in electrical commissioning or a similar role.
• Strong technical knowledge of electrical systems, including power distribution, control systems, and instrumentation.
• Excellent problem-solving skills with the ability to diagnose and resolve complex electrical issues e$ectively.
• Strong organizational and documentation skills, with attention to detail.
