Who is the leader of the commissioning team?

• A. Leader of the commissioning team
• B. Chief Engineer
• C. Project Manager
• D. Site Superintendent

Answer: (A)

In commissioning, a single designated leader drives the process and coordinates all testing and verification activities. That person is the leader of the commissioning team—the role with overall accountability for planning, organizing, executing, and documenting the commissioning work, and for ensuring coordination across all disciplines to verify the building meets the owner's requirements. Other roles have different primary focus: the Chief Engineer handles technical design decisions, the Project Manager oversees the project’s scope, schedule, budget, and stakeholder communications, and the Site Superintendent manages on-site construction operations. While those roles contribute to commissioning, they do not carry the single, integrated leadership for the commissioning process that the leader of the commissioning team provides.
