Job Description:

Parsons is looking for an amazingly talented Testing and Commissioning – Electrical Lead to join our team! In this role you will get to

oversee the testing and commissioning of all electrical systems within the airport infrastructure, ensuring they meet operational and safety standards. This role requires a deep understanding of electrical systems, excellent leadership skills, and the ability to manage testing and commissioning processes to ensure the successful handover of fully operational electrical systems to the client.

What You'll be Doing;

• Lead and manage the testing and commissioning of all electrical systems, including power distribution, lighting, emergency power systems, backup generators, UPS systems, electrical control systems, and other related systems within the airport infrastructure.
• Ensure that all electrical systems are tested, validated, and meet design specifications and safety standards (e.g., IEEE, NEC, IEC, and other relevant standards).
• Develop and implement detailed testing and commissioning plans for electrical systems, ensuring they align with the overall project schedule and milestones.
• Coordinate with internal project teams, contractors, and vendors to ensure the timely completion of electrical testing and commissioning tasks.
• Ensure resources (personnel, equipment, materials) are available and properly allocated for electrical testing and commissioning activities.
• Oversee the integration and functional testing of electrical systems to ensure they are fully operational and integrated with other building systems, such as HVAC, fire safety, security, and BMS systems.
• Conduct inspections and system tests, including power-on tests, load tests, functionality checks, and safety system interlocks.
• Ensure proper calibration of electrical systems, including relays, circuit breakers, transformers, and protection devices.
• Ensure that all electrical systems meet the relevant quality standards and project specifications.
• Ensure compliance with applicable national and international electrical codes and standards, such as NEC, IEC, or local electrical codes.
• Monitor the quality of testing, commissioning, and installation work for electrical systems to ensure adherence to safety, functionality, and performance requirements.
• Identify and resolve any issues or deficiencies during electrical testing and commissioning, including malfunctions, non-compliance, or integration issues.
• Provide technical support and expertise to troubleshoot electrical system issues quickly and effectively to avoid project delays.
• Collaborate with contractors and subcontractors to address and resolve electrical-related challenges during the commissioning phase.
• Ensure that all testing and commissioning activities for electrical systems are accurately documented, including test results, compliance records, and certifications.
• Maintain detailed logs of commissioning activities, system tests, issues, resolutions, and modifications.
• Prepare and submit regular status reports on the progress of electrical testing and commissioning, highlighting milestones, risks, and critical issues to management and stakeholders.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for all electrical testing and commissioning-related matters, providing updates and technical support to project stakeholders, including senior management, clients, contractors, and vendors.
• Facilitate communication between project teams and stakeholders to ensure smooth coordination and timely resolution of any issues or conflicts.
• Oversee the training of operational and maintenance staff on the proper use and maintenance of electrical systems once they are fully commissioned and operational.
• Ensure a smooth handover of electrical systems to the client or operational team, ensuring all required documentation (e.g., test certificates, maintenance manuals) is provided.

What Required Skills You'll Bring;

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, or a related field. Master’s degree or certifications in project management or electrical systems is a plus.
• Minimum of 8 years of experience in the testing and commissioning of electrical systems, with at least 3 years in airport or large-scale infrastructure projects.
• Proven experience in managing the commissioning of electrical systems, such as power distribution, backup power systems, lighting, control systems, and other related electrical components.
• In-depth knowledge of electrical systems, including design, installation, testing, and commissioning requirements.
• Strong understanding of electrical codes and standards (e.g., NEC, IEC, IEEE, and local regulations).
• Familiarity with integrated systems (e.g., BMS, fire safety systems, security systems) and their interaction with electrical systems.
• Proficiency in using electrical testing equipment (e.g., insulation testers, relay test sets, circuit analyzers).
• Excellent problem-solving, troubleshooting, and technical support skills.
• Strong leadership, organizational, and communication skills to manage teams and coordinate with stakeholders effectively.
• Certification in Project Management (e.g., PMP, PRINCE2) is an advantage.
• Experience with advanced electrical systems used in airports, such as high-voltage substations, UPS systems, and emergency power systems.
• Familiarity with airport-specific electrical standards and operational needs.
• Experience in commissioning software or tools, including automated test systems, is a plus.
