This role has clear ownership of I&C and controls execution scope and does not extend into electrical acceptance testing, NETA scope, or mechanical rotating equipment integrity.

The I&C Commissioning Engineer works closely with the Sr. Electrical Testing and Commissioning Engineer at the boundary between electrical protection systems and the DCS/SCADA/PLC platform, and with Operations on operator interface design, alarm management, and historian configuration. I&C findings, loop check data, interlock verification results, and controls deviations are fed into the Asset Integrity Engineer’s integrated lifecycle risk framework.

Responsibilities

Commissioning Planning & Controls Strategy

• Develop and implement Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs) for all I&C and controls systems, based on design specifications, control narratives, and applicable standards.
• Define the loop check strategy, instrument calibration program, and I/O verification sequence; develop and maintain the loop check database with status tracking per instrument tag.
• Review control narratives, cause-and-effect matrices, and interlock logic documentation; identify gaps or conflicts between design documents and field configuration before commissioning begins.
• Develop commissioning procedures, test packages, and work permits for all I&C and controls testing activities.
• Define DCS/SCADA commissioning sequencing to support safe and orderly system startup.

Field I&C Execution

• Lead on-site execution of all loop checks, point-to-point testing, instrument calibration, and signal validation; support the Lead I&C Commissioning Technician and field personnel.
• Inspect, calibrate, and verify field instrumentation including pressure, temperature, flow, level, and analytical devices against calibration records and design datasheets as required. 
• Commission DCS and PLC systems: verify I/O configuration, test control logic, validate alarm setpoints, and confirm historian data collection.
• Commission SCADA systems: verify communications architecture, tag configuration, operator display functionality, and remote monitoring integration.
• Perform functional testing of all safety instrumented system (SIS) functions, safety interlocks, and process trips; verify independence from the basic process control system (BPCS) where required.
• Troubleshoot instrumentation, control logic, and communication issues during commissioning; coordinate with OEM technical support and Engineering to resolve deficiencies.

ORC Package & Well Field Controls Integration

• Lead I&C commissioning for ORC turbine-generator package units: coordinate with OEM commissioning teams on controls handshake, interlock integration, and performance testing.
• Commission well field instrumentation and automation: wellhead sensors, downhole monitoring integration, flow control systems, and chemical injection controls.
• Verify integration of package unit control systems (ORC, instrument air, VFDs) with the plant SCADA, including all start/stop permissives, status signals, and alarms.

Electrical/Controls Integration

• Coordinate with the Sr. Electrical Testing and Commissioning Engineer on the integration boundary between electrical protection systems and the DCS/SCADA/PLC platform, including protection relay communications, breaker status signals, and generator controls integration.
• Own DCS/SCADA architecture and control narrative authority at the electrical/controls boundary; the Sr. Electrical Testing and Commissioning Engineer owns electrical protection and switching logic at that same boundary.

Asset Integrity Support & Risk Reporting

• Feed I&C findings, loop check status, interlock verification results, and controls deviation dispositions to the Asset Integrity Engineer for consolidation into the integrated lifecycle risk register.
• Participate in PHAs, FMEAs, and pre-startup safety reviews (PSSRs); provide I&C and controls sign-off as part of the integrated readiness decision.
• Communicate I&C lessons learned to the Asset Integrity Engineer for routing to Engineering and future projects.

Documentation & Handover

• Work with Engineering and Operations on SCADA operator interface design, alarm rationalization, and historian tag configuration to support long-term asset monitoring.
• Compile and maintain complete I&C commissioning documentation packages: loop check records, calibration certificates, interlock test records, as-built instrument index, and I&C turnover dossiers.
• Prepare I&C commissioning completion reports and handover packages for Operations, confirming all instruments, controls, and SCADA systems have been tested, accepted, and documented.
• Maintain accurate loop sheets, wiring diagrams, instrument data sheets, and control system documentation through to as-built status.

Center for Public Enterprise
The Mountain West Geothermal Consortium (MWGC)
Program Manager, Geothermal Data Modernization
Position still open 7/14/2026
Full time, Remote
The Consortium is looking to fill this role immediately, with the program expected to launch in early September 2026.

Program Overview

The Mountain West Geothermal Consortium (MWGC) is a nonprofit initiative working to help western State governments accelerate geothermal energy development. The Consortium brings together state energy offices, developers, investors, utilities, insurers, and research institutions around a shared goal: removing the policy, financing, and market barriers that prevent geothermal from scaling in one of the most resource-rich regions in the world.

The Consortium’s work is organized around three core intervention areas: a drilling derisking mechanism to backstop appraisal well costs and reduce early-stage investment risk; a public data discovery and modernization effort to improve access to subsurface resource data for developers; and a utility engagement workstream to create durable pathways for geothermal offtake through IRP inclusion, interconnection access, and improved contracting structures. The Consortium is staffed and managed by CPE and Constructive, and is funded by philanthropic support.

Description

This position sits within the Consortium’s public data modernization workstream. State geological surveys, oil and gas commissions, mining authorities, and water agencies across the Mountain West hold vast archives of open access subsurface data collected over decades. Much of this data exists on paper but is inaccessible to modern analytical tools. The Consortium is standing up a multiphase effort to catalogue, scan, digitize, standardize, and publish this high value legacy data.

A core component of this role is coordinating across a fragmented ecosystem. The program spans multiple states, each with multiple relevant agencies, across complex, sequential stages. Its success depends on disciplined workplanning, vendor management, and the ability to coordinate across state agencies whose structures, systems, and data-stewardship maturity vary widely. The ideal candidate is an exceptional manager who is able to hold both a technology vendor and a range of government data custodians to a shared plan. The role will leverage AI enabled workflows, coordinate with multiple state geologic surveys, a technology vendor, and engage public and private sector stakeholders while keeping the program on schedule, on budget, and delivering against its milestones.

Familiarity with geothermal or subsurface data is helpful but secondary. The Consortium is looking to fill this role immediately, with the program expected to launch in early September 2026.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end program management across all phases including  workplanning, scheduling, budget tracking, and milestone and deliverable management across a multiphase, multi-year effort.
• Serve as the central coordinating point across state data custodians whose organizational structures and data stewardship maturity differ from state to state (e.g., geological surveys, oil and gas commissions, water boards, and water resource agencies).
• Manage technology vendor relationships, including scope of work, deliverables, and timelines for an AI enabled digitization workflow and its integration with the target data host.
• Coordinate development of a regional data catalogue and dataset prioritization process, including running a developer RFP to gather industry input on the highest-value datasets to digitize.
• Secure the permissions and access needed to work with data housed across state agencies, and manage coordination with in-house state geologists for verification of low confidence data.
• Track budget and in kind contributions across phases, manage risks and dependencies, and maintain a clear reporting cadence to Consortium leadership and funders.
• Coordinate across partners and the broader Consortium team to keep technical, state agency, and philanthropic stakeholders aligned.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of program or project management experience, ideally leading multi-stakeholder, multiphase programs involving external vendors and public-sector partners
• Demonstrated experience managing external technical vendors or contractors (e.g., software development, data services, or IT integration) including scoping, deliverable tracking, and quality management
• Proven ability to coordinate across multiple government agencies or institutional partners with differing structures, systems, and capacity
• Strong budget management, workplanning, and milestone-tracking discipline, with a track record of delivering complex programs on time and on budget
• Working fluency with data-management concepts (e.g., file formats, standardization, metadata, and GIS-ready outputs) sufficient to manage technical scope without needing to be the technical expert
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate between technical vendors and non-technical government stakeholders

Preferred Experience

• Experience working with or alongside state geological surveys, oil and gas commissions, water boards, or state energy offices
• Familiarity with geothermal or adjacent subsurface data (oil and gas, mining, geologic resource assessment)
• Experience with AI-enabled document extraction, data digitization, GIS, or geospatial dataset development

Expected Outcomes

• A completed regional data catalogue identifying all publicly available data
• A prioritized dataset list informed by developer input
• A functioning AI enabled digitization workflow delivered by the technology vendor and integrated with the target data host
• Priority legacy datasets scanned, digitized, standardized, and published into a verified regional geospatial database, delivered on schedule and on budget
• Durable working relationships across the Mountain West region’s state data custodians and a repeatable coordination model that can scale to additional states and datasets

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary range: $100-125,000; commensurate with experience.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) with organizational match.
• Generous paid time off and professional development opportunities.

• Commercialization & Market Acceleration – Advance the policies, financing mechanisms, market conditions, and technical collaborations needed to move next-generation geothermal technologies from demonstration to widespread deployment while addressing barriers such as permitting, workforce development, supply chains, standards, and testing infrastructure.

• Thought Leadership & Public Influence – Represent CATF through executive briefings, conference presentations, media engagement, publications, congressional testimony, and participation in major domestic and international forums while elevating the visibility and influence of the program's technical experts.

• International Partnership Development – Cultivate strategic relationships with governments, investors, multilateral institutions, research organizations, and international partners to accelerate global commercialization and deployment efforts.

• Fundraising & Organizational Stewardship – Partner with CATF's Development, Finance, and Operations teams to secure philanthropic support, manage multimillion-dollar budgets, and ensure strong operational execution across the program.

What You'll Bring

• Experience raising philanthropic funding and managing multimillion-dollar program budgets.
