• Assist with commissioning processes, ensuring all systems are integrated correctly and operate smoothly before handover to the client.

Quality Control and Compliance:

• Ensure that all installations and systems are compliant with design specifications, industry standards, and local codes.

• Review installation and test reports to verify that the systems meet the required performance standards.

• Ensure that any issues or discrepancies are promptly identified and resolved in collaboration with the design and construction teams.

Coordination and Communication:

• Collaborate closely with contractors, subcontractors, and other engineering disciplines to ensure proper coordination and integration of special systems with other systems across the airport project.

• Provide daily progress updates and communicate any issues or concerns to the project manager or senior engineers.

• Serve as a point of contact for special systems installation queries and provide timely solutions to any technical challenges faced on-site.

Troubleshooting and Problem-Solving:

• Provide troubleshooting support for special systems during installation, testing, and commissioning, ensuring that any technical issues are identified and resolved quickly.

• Work with the project team to resolve any discrepancies between design documents and field conditions, ensuring all systems are installed and functional as per requirements.

Safety and Compliance:

• Adhere to all health, safety, and environmental regulations, ensuring that all special systems installations comply with safety codes and practices.

• Participate in safety briefings and promote a safety-first approach on-site to prevent accidents or hazards related to electrical or mechanical installations.

Documentation and Reporting:

• Maintain accurate documentation of all installation activities, including drawings, test results, inspection reports, and any changes or modifications to the systems.

• Submit regular progress reports, highlighting milestones, issues, or delays related to special systems work.

• Ensure that all documentation, including as-built drawings and commissioning reports, is kept up to date and submitted to the project team.

Training and Support:

• Support junior engineers and on-site personnel by providing guidance and training in the installation and commissioning of special systems.

• Share technical knowledge and best practices to ensure the team is capable of resolving issues efficiently and safely.

What Required Skills You'll Bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field. Relevant certifications in special systems or commissioning are a plus.

• Experience with special systems in airport or large infrastructure projects, such as security, fire alarm, CCTV, public address, and building management systems.

• Minimum of 3 years of experience in the field of special systems engineering, with a focus on installation, testing, and commissioning.

• Strong understanding of special systems, including CCTV, access control, fire alarms, BMS, and other security and communication systems.
