Commissioning Technician

As a Commissioning Technician at ComAp Australia, you'll bring power generation and energy control systems to life on customer sites - then prove they work.

You'll commission and configure ComAp control systems across diesel and gas gen-sets, hybrid power, battery energy storage (BESS) and microgrids. One week you might be on a remote industrial site running a cutover; the next, reviewing engineered drawings, building test plans and supporting other technicians remotely. This is genuinely end-to-end work: you'll start at the design package and customer meetings, program and test controllers through factory acceptance, then head to site to support installation and fault-find work carried out by other trades, run site acceptance testing, hand over the as-built documentation, and stay on hand for post-project support. You'll be backed by an experienced local team of around fifteen commissioning specialists and ComAp's global engineering network.

It's hands-on, varied and genuinely technical. It also comes with the chance to travel: regular trips, usually around one a month, to sites across Australia and the wider Asia-Pacific - from regional industrial sites to the occasional remote posting further afield. Trips can run from a few days to a couple of weeks on site, with weekends away when the commissioning window calls for it.

What you'll do

• Commission and configure ComAp control systems across diesel, gas, hybrid, BESS and microgrid applications.

• Work with industrial networks and protocols - the backbone of modern control systems - and build and test PLC-based programs and SCADA interfaces.

• Carry out electrical testing, fault diagnosis and problem-solving on site, where a calm, methodical approach pays off.

• Review engineered documents and prepare test plans, then execute ITPs and commissioning documentation to a high standard.

• Be a trusted technical resource - providing on-site and remote support to customers, distributors and fellow technicians.

• Collaborate with project management, sales and engineering teams, and join client and stakeholder meetings to keep delivery on track.

What you'll bring

We care more about aptitude and attitude than a long CV. If most of this is you, we'd like to hear from you:

• An electrical trade qualification and licence (unrestricted strongly preferred) - or an engineering degree in Electrical, Electronic or Mechatronic disciplines.

• Computer literacy and a genuine comfort with networking - you don't shy away from IP addresses, switches and industrial comms.

• A strong fault-finding instinct and pride in delivering quality outcomes, working independently on site.

• A current driver's licence, Australian work rights, and a willingness to travel - including weekends away when trip window requires it.

• An appetite to learn new software and systems - this is a role you grow into.

Nice to have - or we'll train you

Don't tick every box below? That's fine. These are advantages, not gatekeepers - we'll back the right person to build them on the job.

• Hands-on with ComAp products

• Experience with diesel and gas generators (a strong market here in WA)

• PLC programming (a basic grounding is plenty)

• SCADA configuration and interfaces

• Knowledge of power-system components - generators, inverters, BESS, switchgear, transformers

• Industrial communications protocols - Modbus, Ethernet

• Exposure to renewable and microgrid applications
