Electrical Commissioning Engineer

Overview

Are you a wind tech who’s tired of climbing towers in the cold but loves the electrical side of the job? Your skills transfer directly into data center commissioning, one of the fastest-growing fields in the country.

We’re hiring Electrical Commissioning Engineers for one of the biggest commissioning agents in the mission-critical industry. You’ll work on the owner’s rep side, testing and verifying the power systems that keep large data centers running. You’ll be on the ground instead of 300 feet up, and you’ll keep the travel lifestyle you’re used to.

If you’ve troubleshot converters, pad-mount transformers, MV switchgear, or SCADA alarms on a turbine, you already understand most of what this job requires.

What You’ll Do

• Support and lead electrical commissioning from Level 3 through Level 5 on large data center projects.
• Test and commission critical power equipment, including UPS systems, generators, switchgear, ATS/STS, PDUs, RPPs, busway, and rack-level distribution.
• Verify protection, controls, monitoring, metering, alarms, and interlocks, and confirm that systems respond correctly under normal and fault conditions. This is the same mindset you use when a turbine faults out and you track down the cause.
• Read one-lines, schematics, submittals, and sequences of operation to confirm the installation matches the design.
• Coordinate with electrical contractors, manufacturers, controls techs, and client reps to run tests and resolve issues.
• Witness and document startups, test results, deficiencies, and final sign-off.

What We’re Looking For

• Hands-on experience with three-phase AC power systems (wind turbine, substation, or collection system work counts)
• Electrical testing, troubleshooting, maintenance, or commissioning experience
• Comfort reading electrical drawings and schematics
• A solid safety background (LOTO, NFPA 70E, arc flash awareness)
• Willingness to travel
• Mission-critical experience is a plus but not required. Wind and renewables backgrounds are strongly considered.

Why Wind Techs Make the Switch

• Better pay, with no tower climbing
• Climate-controlled sites and more predictable schedules
• Long-term career growth in an industry that’s expanding fast
• Your electrical troubleshooting experience is valued from day one

Pay: $90,000.00 - $115,000.00 per year

Benefits:

• 401(k)
• 401(k) matching
• Dental insurance
• Health insurance
• Paid time off
• Retirement plan
