Commissioning Engineer (Electrical)

We are looking for an experienced professional to coordinate electrical commissioning on a major data centre project in Seinäjoki, ensuring system readiness, safe energization, integrated systems testing, and successful final handover.

Key Responsibilities

Planning, Design & Coordination

• Plan commissioning activities and coordinate construction, design, integration, vendors and client stakeholders.

• Review issued-for-construction designs and identify commissioning risks, opportunities, scope gaps, system dependencies and programme impacts.

• Maintain electrical commissioning schedules and interfaces with mechanical, BMS, EPMS, fire alarm, security and controls packages.

• Provide commissioning input at design, coordination, integration, OFCI and CFCI meetings.

Technical Reviews & Commissioning Controls

• Review submittals, RFIs, test scripts, RAMS, switching procedures, inspection plans and technical documents.

• Review test packs against the design, employers requirements, approved submissions, manufacturer instructions and applicable standards.

• Attend factory witness tests and undertake QA/QC inspections on site or at vendor facilities when required.

Testing, Energization & Integration

• Confirm system readiness before testing or energization, including completion records, permits, isolations, protection settings and vendor support.

• Ensure energization follows approved permits, switching procedures and lockout/tagout controls, with clear system ownership.

• Coordinate CFCI and OFCI vendors and track commissioning progress from Level 0 to Level 5.

• Coordinate integration dependencies, beneficial-use areas and integrated testing.

Management, Reporting & Handover

• Lead electrical commissioning meetings and issue reports, minutes and actions.

• Maintain a daily commissioning diary, issue weekly reports and escalate safety, quality, technical or programme risks with clear mitigation actions.

• Witness electrical testing, review certification and submit traceable evidence for approval. Track defects and punch-list items to closure before acceptance.

• Verify turnover packs and support client witnessing, training and operational handover.

Commissioning Scope

• High-voltage and medium-voltage switchgear, transformers, protection relays, utility interfaces, ring-main units where applicable and associated distribution systems.

• Low-voltage switchboards, busbar systems, power distribution units and final distribution.

• UPS systems, batteries, generators, automatic transfer systems and emergency power arrangements.

• Earthing, bonding, lightning protection, metering, EPMS interfaces, power-quality monitoring, alarms, controls, communications and verification of electrical system data points and sequences.

• Lighting, emergency lighting, small power and interfaces with mechanical and life-safety systems.

• Digital commissioning records, tagging, test packs, certification, turnover dossiers and handover evidence.

Qualifications & Experience

• Electrical Engineering qualification and at least 5 years commissioning experience on data centre, mission-critical, industrial or similarly complex projects.

• Experience commissioning MV/LV distribution, standby generation, UPS systems, protection schemes and integrated controls, including safe energization, switching and functional testing.

• Ability to plan and execute integrated systems testing and manage IST documentation on a digital platform.

• Thorough understanding of Finnish and European electrical regulations, standards, codes and accepted commissioning practice.

• Strong organizational, communication and reporting skills, with the ability to coordinate contractors, vendors and interfaces.

• Experience as an Authorised Person, or equivalent experience in electrical switching and safety procedures, including isolation, energization, and the control of restricted electrical areas, is considered an advantage.

What We Offer

You'll play an important role in bringing complex electrical systems safely into operation on a major data centre project in Seinäjoki. Working closely with construction teams, vendors, commissioning specialists, and the client, you'll coordinate activities from system readiness and energization through integrated systems testing and final handover. The role offers hands-on involvement with critical power infrastructure, the opportunity to solve technical challenges across multiple systems, and the chance to contribute directly to the safe and reliable operation of a large-scale data centre. We offer competitive compensation and a lunch benefit in a dynamic, international project environment.
