• Plan and witness construction tests, ensure punch-list completion, and coordinate functional testing/energization with operations to achieve Ready-for-Operations and clean handover packages.

• Hands-on experience with work-package development, QA/QC inspections, welding/mechanical/electrical installation oversight, and startup/commissioning support. Familiar with RFIs, NCRs, ITPs, and as-built control. 
• Demonstrated collaboration with EPCs and vendors and familiarity with progress tracking, change control, and field estimating. 
• Working knowledge of DOE site operations or similarly regulated environments; ability to execute work consistent with ACP’s licensing basis and site procedures. 
• Practical application of NEC, NFPA 70E, OSHA, IEEE/NEMA; strong safety leadership record supporting high-hazard work.
