Fabrication & Prefab Commissioning Lead Jobs in Regina, Canada at Alessi Search Group
FABRICATION & PREFAB COMMISSIONING LEAD
We are looking for a Fabrication & Prefab Commissioning Lead to own commissioning and QA/QC of fabricated and self-performed mechanical and electrical assemblies produced in a fabrication shop environment and installed on a large mission-critical project. This role creates a clean, documented bridge between shop fabrication and field installation, ensuring every assembly leaves the shop with a known and tested status.
This is a staff position within a newly formed commissioning team with genuine long-term career potential.
This position is at the site in Regina, Saskatchewan. 14 days on / 7 days off rotation.
Key Responsibilities
- Define and implement standard test procedures for all fabricated electrical and mechanical assemblies in the shop including visual, torque, continuity, insulation, and basic functional checks
- Own the fab-side L2 and L3 testing scope for self-performed assemblies including tagging and full documentation of pass/fail results and open items
- Issue consistent commissioning reports for each assembly detailing what was tested, what passed, what was deferred to site, and any defects that need resolution prior to or during installation
- Coordinate with the electrical and mechanical commissioning leads to define fabrication versus field test splits and ensure no duplication or gaps in scope
- Work with fabrication management to monitor and improve first-pass yield, rework rates, and test failure trends with a focus on schedule and commissioning impact
- Support factory witness testing for modules where the fabrication shop is involved in integration or pre-assembly
- Enforce storage, handling, and protection standards that preserve equipment integrity and commissioning validity throughout the shop process
What We Are Looking For
- Strong electrical foundation with practical hands-on experience in panel builds, skids, busway, and modular assemblies, plus willingness to expand into mechanical modules
- Hands-on commissioning, QA/QC, or testing experience in a fabrication, prefab, or mission-critical environment
- Ability to design and enforce repeatable test procedures and documentation standards rather than relying on ad hoc checks
- Comfort working in a shop environment and bridging into field commissioning with a clear understanding of how shop decisions affect site performance
- Decisive approach to quality — willing to hold product in the shop when it is not ready for field and able to clearly articulate the reason why
Preferred Qualifications
- 5+ years in electrical or mechanical fabrication, QA/QC, or commissioning in industrial plants, data centres, or similar environments
- Experience with prefabrication programs on large construction projects
- Familiarity with commissioning and quality tools such as Procore or equivalent QA/QC platforms
- Technical diploma or degree in electrical or mechanical technology or engineering, or equivalent field experience
- Current role split is approximately 70% electrical and 30% mechanical, evolving toward 55/45 as the project matures
- This role will both write and execute test procedures
- Industrial fabrication and commissioning experience is welcomed
