This Mechanical Engineer Lead performs mechanical systems testing in compliance with a project schedule. The mechanical engineer should have a working knowledge of mechanical P&IDs, electrical one-line drawings and a general understanding of mechanical systems: Mechanical (HVAC) systems, air distribution (fans, ducting, VAVs), refrigeration systems, chilled water systems, hot water heating systems, steam heating systems and fire protection equipment. He/she will drive the functional performance test for each mechanical system assigned and is expected to be able to competently follow approved test scripts. Needs to be self-motivated and willing to actively engage contractors/vendors to set up testing to complete all required activities for project success
The witness, verification and validation of proper execution of commissioning tests is to be documented by the Mechanical Engineer Lead. The quality of documentation is vital to success of program and the Mechanical Engineer Lead is expected to have knowledge and ability to complete all document requirements and ability to lead project independently.
