Electrical Testing and Commissioning Engineer

Testing engineer

Testing & Pre-Commissioning Activities

• Perform and supervise pre-commissioning checks for DC and AC systems including IR, continuity, polarity, interlock, and functional tests.

• Verify readiness of electrical installations before energization by ensuring punch-point clearance and compliance with drawings.

Commissioning & Energization

• Execute commissioning of inverters, transformers, HT/LT panels, switchgear, protection relays, and earthing systems.

• Assist in grid synchronization and energization activities in coordination with utilities and client representatives.

• Ensure commissioning activities comply with statutory regulations, grid codes, and safety standards.

OEM & Interface Coordination

• Coordinate with OEM teams (inverter, transformer, relay, SCADA) during testing and commissioning.

• Support integration of electrical systems with SCADA and communication networks.

Troubleshooting & Issue Resolution

• Identify and resolve commissioning-related issues such as protection trips, communication failures, and performance deviations.

• Support root cause analysis and implementation of corrective actions.

Safety & Compliance

• Follow and enforce electrical safety procedures, LOTO, PTW, and site safety norms during commissioning activities.

• Participate in risk assessments and safety audits related to testing and commissioning.

Documentation & Reporting

• Prepare and maintain test reports, commissioning records, checklists, and energization documents.

• Support preparation of as-built drawings, commissioning dossiers, and O&M manuals.

• Provide daily updates on commissioning progress to senior engineers or project managers.

Coordination with Site Teams

• Coordinate with construction, QA/QC, and EHS teams to ensure commissioning readiness.

• Support smooth transition from construction to commissioning and handover to O&M teams.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor’s / Diploma in Electrical Engineering.

• 8–10 years of experience in testing and commissioning of solar, power, or EPC projects.

• Strong hands-on experience with inverter-based power plants is preferred.
