project commissioning
Process of supervising the correct functioning of systems, buildings or plants during the final stages before deployment.
Commissioning engineers supervise the final stages of a project when systems are installed and tested. They inspect the correct functioning of the equipment, facilities and plants to make sure they meet the requirements and specifications. They perform the necessary verifications and give approval to finalise the project.

Ensure that the assembled products are conform to the specifications given.
ensure fulfilment of legal requirements
Ensure that all legal requirements are met.
liaise with quality assurance
Work closely with the relevant quality assurance or grading party involved.
present reports
Display results, statistics and conclusions to an audience in a transparent and straightforward way.
read standard blueprints
Read and comprehend standard blueprints, machine, and process drawings.
record test data
Record data which has been identified specifically during preceding tests in order to verify that outputs of the test produce specific results or to review the reaction of the subject under exceptional or unusual input.
