• Monitor PWA compliance and coordinate remedy payments and documentation support as required.

Testing, Commissioning & Energization

• Coordinate with any necessary communications required from the Project Owner between utilities and EPC to ensure all energization related activities are performed on schedule, safely and in compliance.
• Review testing and commissioning documentation for completeness, accuracy, and technical validity. Flag issues, investigate root causes, and drive resolution.
• Confirm key test packages and results such as insulation resistance/VLF testing, inverter commissioning, capacity tests, transformer grid match testing, IV curve traces (VOC + polarity), and ground resistance testing.
• Ensure the project receives PTO from the utility and is successfully energized in accordance with interconnection requirements.
• Confirm systems are operating at expected performance: verify inverter-level generation aligns with POI meter readings and assess losses as needed.

Post-Construction Closeout & Long-Term Asset Readiness

• Ensure the site is constructed per plans and that field modifications are captured in accurate, complete as-built drawings.
• Visit project sites to create and drive closure of the final punchlist required for Substantial and Final Completion.
• Confirm major equipment warranties are properly assigned to GreenKey and that closeout packages are complete.
• Ensure final liens are released and documentation is sufficient to support conversion of construction debt to permanent financing.
• Support final certification of PWA compliance, including coordination with third-party audit processes as needed.
