FAQ

Commissioning jobs: questions

What does a commissioning engineer do?

A commissioning engineer takes new or changed equipment from installed to working: checking wiring and I/O, loop checks, testing PLC logic, factory and site acceptance tests, and handover. The work is often on client sites, so travel is common.

Do I need PLC experience to be a commissioning engineer?

Controls commissioning roles usually want PLC and instrument knowledge. Electrical and M&E commissioning roles want electrical or building services experience. Check which kind the title means.

How do I move into commissioning from maintenance or electrical work?

Fault finding on panels, drives and instruments is the same skill set. Practise loop checks and I/O checkout in a simulation, add PLC basics, and apply for assistant or junior commissioning roles.
