Security Systems Commissioning Engineer

Purpose

Lead the coordination, verification, documentation, and operational handover of assigned physical security systems for the Green Hydrogen Project during Commissioning and Start-Up (CSU), then support the transition to an operator-owned security model in early operations. The role integrates vendor testing, HCIS/SAIS evidence, security operations readiness, training, defect closeout, and sustainable ownership of technical security systems.

Nature & Scope

• Work in a live mega-project environment transitioning from system completion and commissioning into start-up, performance demonstration, handover, and early operations support.
• Coordinate across Engineering, Construction, Quality, EHS, Operations, the client, specialist vendors, and subcontractors while preserving clear technical and safety accountabilities.
• Own commissioning readiness, test coordination, completion evidence, punch-list closure, turnover quality, and operational handover for the assigned discipline.
• Provide field leadership and disciplined documentation supporting the “Proof of Compliance” documentation while specialist vendors and authorized contractors perform equipment-specific testing, programming, configuration, energization, and intrusive troubleshooting.
• Support temporary operating arrangements, reliability runs, defect resolution, training, spares and warranty interfaces, and stabilization during early operations.
• Cover assigned systems such as access control, CCTV, video management, intrusion detection, security intercom, ALPR, turnstiles and gates, security networks, PSIM, radar, sonar, and other integrated perimeter or building-security systems.
• Support the transition from EPC-delivered security arrangements to operating-organization ownership, including control-room interfaces, procedures, competency, maintenance readiness, and compliance evidence.
