Commissioning engineers are dynamic problem-solving leaders. They use their strong theoretical, practical and leadership skills to oversee and guide engineering projects, serving as a coordinating intermediary between the company and the customer.
In general, commissioning engineers need to be able to apply their ingenuity and technical skills to review, troubleshoot, resolve, and prevent a range of challenges for customers together with their team members. They are crucial to ensuring that equipment and machinery are developed, installed and function as they should, and coordinating between the company and customer to achieve smooth operation. Commissioning engineers often work in the field at a customer site, making it a great career for people who do not like to sit in the office all day and who enjoy regular travel.
An electrical commissioning engineer focuses more specifically on complex electrical systems and components, while a mechanical commissioning engineer specializes more in mechanical systems and devices. A commissioning engineer, however, should possess some level of proficiency in both mechanical and electrical engineering since they need to be able to understand and work with all aspects of a system.
Somebody must lead the engineering teams and work closely with the customer on projects, so there is no shortage of opportunities for commissioning engineers. Industries include construction, manufacturing, transportation, aerospace, energy, computer, and electronic manufacturing, and more.
In the construction sector, commissioning engineers may be responsible for ensuring that newly constructed buildings are built to specifications and code while reducing environmental impact. In the automotive industry, commissioning engineers may monitor the testing and operation of vehicle production lines and machinery.
