Commissioning Engineer - Battery Energy Storage

Description

• Deliver concise reporting and end‑user training to support smooth handover and long‑term operations.
• Maintain and close out commissioning records: test data, redlines, and equipment settings backups.
• Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve field issues across electrical, control, and network systems.
• Checking and testing electrical and communication systems before and after energization.
• Conducting system performance evaluations such as charge/discharge tests and round‑trip efficiency runs.
• Configuring and verifying protection relays, inverters, PCS, BMS, and EMS parameters.
• Running functional checks—protection trips, dispatch commands, grid response behaviors, and control sequences.
• Champion field safety standards and ensure compliance with NEC, NFPA 70E/855, UL 9540, and site‑specific procedures.
• Coordinate with project managers, utilities, and vendors to align testing, witness events, and acceptance milestones.
• Integrating SCADA and data communication links and confirming telemetry accuracy.
• Preparing and executing commissioning plans based on project drawings and system design documents.

Requirements

• 3+ years in commissioning or field engineering involving energy storage, inverters, or medium-voltage systems.
• Experience with protection relays (SEL, GE, Schneider), inverter setup, and BMS/EMS systems.
• Competent reading and marking up SLDs, control schematics, and network diagrams.
• Valid driver’s license, ability to travel locally, and up-to-date NFPA 70E/OSHA safety training.
• Practical understanding of Modbus TCP/RTU; exposure to DNP3 or IEC‑61850 helpful.
• Skilled with test instruments (multimeter, insulation tester, IR camera, torque tools).
• Previous work on PV or hybrid solar‑storage projects.
• Involvement in utility or AHJ witness testing (e.g., with HECO).
• Familiarity with EMS platforms, SCADA historians, and remote monitoring systems.
• Certifications such as NETA II/III, NICET, or SEL University, plus First Aid/CPR.
• Degree in Electrical Engineering or comparable technical experience.
