We are looking for a skilled Boiler Commissioning Engineer to execute and manage the commissioning, testing, and performance validation of boiler systems. This role is ideal for professionals with solid field experience who can independently handle startup sequences, troubleshoot issues, and ensure smooth handover to operations. The engineer will coordinate with project, operations, and OEM teams to ensure safety, compliance, and successful commissioning of both new and overhauled boiler systems.
Execute boiler commissioning plans including pre-startup checks, hydrostatic testing, drying out, ignition trials, and load trials.
Manage commissioning procedures for auxiliary systems such as feedwater, fuel, air supply, soot blowers, and safety interlocks.
Validate instrumentation, control loops, and interlock logic for safe boiler operation.
Perform system flushing, pressure testing, and boiler blowdown as per standards.
Conduct burner tuning, combustion analysis, and performance testing to meet efficiency and emission targets.
Identify and troubleshoot mechanical, process, or instrumentation issues during startup and ensure resolution in coordination with relevant teams.
Monitor system behavior and maintain accurate logs of operational parameters.
Interface with vendors, contractors, and cross-functional teams during commissioning phases.
Supervise junior technicians and ensure safety compliance during commissioning activities.
Support handover documentation and performance validation for client acceptance.
Ensure all commissioning activities follow applicable safety standards and permit-to-work systems.
Enforce PPE usage and contribute to risk assessments, toolbox talks, and hazard mitigation.
