• You will lead commissioning activities for new building systems, helping ensure systems are installed, started, tested, and operating in accordance with design documents and project requirements.
• You will perform retro-commissioning services for existing commercial, healthcare, and government facilities to help identify opportunities to improve system performance and operation.
• You will independently review contract documents, including drawings, specifications, and equipment submittals, to identify and help resolve MEP design, installation, and operational issues.
• You will develop and manage commissioning plans, pre-functional checklists, functional performance tests, and final commissioning reports.
• You will document design, construction, installation, controls, and sequence-of-operation deficiencies and coordinate with project stakeholders to support resolution.
• You will oversee and manage commissioning-related site activities, including installation verification, equipment start-up observation, functional testing, and coordination with project teams.
• You will work directly with building owners, facilities managers, contractors, vendors, and other stakeholders to build productive, long-term client relationships.
• You will identify and pursue opportunities to develop new client relationships, generate new business, and expand Integra Testing’s commissioning services.
• You will independently secure and manage projects while maintaining project schedules, client expectations, and quality standards.
• You will lead client meetings and clearly communicate technical findings, recommendations, project status, and next steps.

What We Are Looking For

• You are highly motivated, proactive, and comfortable taking ownership of projects and client relationships.
• You can manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining strong attention to detail, organization, and follow-through.
• You have a professional appearance and demeanor and can represent Integra Testing effectively with clients, owners, contractors, and project partners.
• You maintain positive and collaborative working relationships with internal team members, vendors, contractors, engineers, facilities staff, and owners.
• You have excellent verbal and written communication skills and can explain technical commissioning concepts clearly to a range of audiences.
• You are a strong problem solver who can identify building-system inefficiencies, investigate issues, and help develop practical solutions.
• You are comfortable working independently when needed while also contributing effectively within a team environment.
• You are flexible and able to accommodate project deadlines, site needs, client demands, and occasional extended hours.

What You Will Need for Success

• At least 8 years of commissioning experience; relevant experience in Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing (TAB), electrical systems, building controls, or related MEP fields will be considered.
• Strong knowledge of building commissioning processes, building codes, industry standards, and best practices, including LEED, ASHRAE, ACG, and NEBB commissioning requirements.
• Proficiency with Building Management Systems (BMS) and Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing (TAB) principles and practices.
• Strong working knowledge of MEP systems and design, including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, controls, and related building systems.
