Praetorian Power Protection LLC
Wyoming, MI
Praetorian Power Protection, the leader in NETA testing and staff augmentation to the mission critical industry, is searching for a Controls Commissioning Engineer to join our Reno based team.

This role is responsible for coordinating the entire commissioning process across multiple trades, from initial design reviews and pre-functional testing to complex integrated systems validation. You will be the technical authority for troubleshooting automation, HVAC, electrical, and security controls, utilizing tools like PLCs and SCADA to guarantee 24/7 uptime for life-safety and business-critical facilities. Your work is essential to minimizing risk, enforcing contract compliance, and delivering a fully functional, resilient facility to the owner.

Key Responsibilities

  • Oversee Commissioning: Lead and coordinate all phases of the controls commissioning (Cx) process, from design reviews and submittal analysis to functional performance testing (FPT) and integrated systems testing (IST).
  • Systems Integration: Act as the primary point of contact for integrating complex building control systems delivered by various subcontractors, ensuring they communicate and operate as a single, cohesive system.
  • Technical Troubleshooting: Diagnose and resolve complex issues in automation, HVAC (BMS/BAS), electrical (EPMS), and security control systems, including hands-on analysis of PLC logic and SCADA interfaces.
  • Vendor & Trade Coordination: Manage and direct multiple controls vendors and trades on-site, ensuring adherence to project specifications, schedules, and quality standards.
  • Risk Mitigation: Develop and execute commissioning test scripts designed to identify and mitigate risks to critical operations, ensuring all failure modes are tested and understood.
  • Standards Compliance: Enforce contract compliance and adherence to project requirements and industry standards (e.g., ASHRAE, LEED, Uptime Institute).
  • Project Alignment: Work closely with project managers, construction teams, and owner representatives to align commissioning activities with project schedules, budgets, and the Owner's Project Requirements (OPR).
  • Documentation: Prepare comprehensive commissioning plans, reports, discrepancy logs, and final turnover documentation for the client.

Required Qualifications & Skills

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent field experience).
  • 5+ years of experience in controls, automation, or commissioning, with significant experience in mission-critical environments (e.g., data centers, hospitals, industrial plants).
  • Strong technical understanding of control sequences for mechanical and electrical systems.
  • Direct, hands-on experience with Building Automation Systems (BAS), PLCs, and SCADA platforms.
  • Proven ability to read and interpret design drawings, control schematics, and technical submittals.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Direct data center commissioning experience.
  • Experience with specific control platforms (e.g., Siemens, Rockwell, Schneider Electric, ALC).
  • Knowledge of critical power systems (UPS, generators, switchgear) and mechanical systems (chillers, CRAHs).
  • Professional certification (PE, BCA, or similar).
