Job Description

As a Commissioning Agent, you will play a critical role in ensuring that building MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) systems are designed, constructed, and operated to meet the highest standards of performance, efficiency, and reliability as outlined in project requirements. This position combines hands-on fieldwork with strategic collaboration, requiring you to work closely with owner groups, design professionals, construction teams, and facilities operators to deliver fully functional and optimized systems in commercial and industrial buildings. Your responsibilities will include conducting detailed inspections, performing functional performance testing, troubleshooting system issues, and verifying that MEP systems—such as HVAC, electrical distribution, plumbing, and building automation systems—meet design intent and operational goals. You will also prepare comprehensive commissioning reports, document system performance, and provide actionable recommendations to ensure long-term energy efficiency and occupant comfort. By fostering strong communication and coordination among project stakeholders, you will help bridge the gap between design, construction, and operation, ensuring seamless project delivery and client satisfaction. This role demands technical expertise, attention to detail, and a passion for sustainable building performance, offering the opportunity to make a tangible impact on the functionality and environmental footprint of diverse building projects.

At kW, we’re proud of our passionate, creative, fun, and diverse team. We’re looking for someone who shares our values and commitment to sustainability, continuous learning, and making a measurable difference in how buildings operate.
