E&I Construction & Commissioning Manager

First-time-right commissioning, from pre-start to RFSU.

For 25+ years, operators and EPC contractors have brought Alberto Mazzola onto their most demanding projects to take electrical & instrumentation systems from installation through pre-commissioning, commissioning and start-up — on schedule, to standard. He de-risks the phase where a single day of delay can cost a million.

About

25 years where the work actually happens.

Based in Zug, Switzerland, Alberto has spent his career on construction sites across Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and Russia — from Gazprom’s Nord Stream gas-treatment plants and an offshore platform in the Barents Sea to ADNOC in Abu Dhabi, Shell’s BIO DLNG in Germany, and hyperscale data centers in Italy. Native Italian and Spanish, fluent English; offshore-certified (H2S, HUET, ADNOC, OGUK). He leads multicultural teams under pressure and signs off only when a plant is genuinely ready to run safely.

Methodology

How I work

  1. Scoping & commissioning strategy

    Map the completion challenge, systems breakdown and RFSU roadmap before a checklist is written.

  2. Systems completion & pre-commissioning

    Walkdowns, loop checks, instrument calibration and mechanical-completion sign-off, fully documented.

  3. Hot commissioning & performance testing

    Functional and start-up testing, ESD/SIS checks, performance runs — scripted, witnessed, reported.

  4. Handover & start-up

    Turnover dossier, punch-list closure and start-up support until the operations team is genuinely ready.
