• Oversee FAT, SAT, and final system handover.
• Ensure all commissioning evidence is captured via approved digital platforms (e.g. Dalux, BIM360, Cx Software, ATP).
• Lead, mentor, and develop commissioning engineers and teams.
• Drive project close-outs with a strong focus on quality, safety, and zero defects.
• Communicate risks early, escalate blockers, and protect key milestones.
• Coordinate closely with M&E, BMS, electrical, mechanical, and other trades to ensure seamless integration.
