• Maintain the Contractor’s Cx Record (CCR), including the Commissioning Plan, Equipment Matrix, Close-out Documentation Matrix, Cx schedule, observation reports, inspections, meeting minutes, and checklists/testing scripts
• Customize Owner-provided Cx tracking tools and templates to fit project-specific needs, and develop additional tracking tools where none are provided
• Coordinate with the Owner’s QA testing and inspection program to minimize duplication of effort
• Attend and actively participate in Cx meetings, providing updated equipment list reports at regular intervals (weekly minimum, or as required)

Qualifications

• Formal commissioning credentials from UW (University of Wisconsin), BCA (Building Commissioning Association), AEE (Association of Energy Engineers), ACG (AABC Commissioning Group), or ASHRAE required (other Cx credentials may be submitted for evaluation and potential acceptability)
• Strong working knowledge of building systems including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, fire protection, building controls, building envelope, lighting, power delivery, security, and access control systems
• Experience reviewing and processing construction submittals against contract documents and specifications
• Familiarity with Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR) and Basis of Design (BOD) documentation
• Excellent organizational skills with the ability to manage detailed schedules, tracking logs, and documentation across multiple systems and trades
