Key responsibilities will include developing and maintaining commissioning strategies, plans, schedules, procedures and inspection records; coordinating pre-commissioning, functional testing, integrated systems testing and performance verification; and monitoring progress against programme milestones. You will lead commissioning meetings, manage test documentation, review technical submissions, identify defects and ensure outstanding issues are tracked through to resolution. The role will also involve witnessing tests, validating results, supporting system demonstrations and preparing handover documentation, operation and maintenance information, training materials and final completion reports.

The successful candidate will have substantial experience in a test and commissioning leadership position within a construction, infrastructure, engineering or industrial environment. A strong understanding of commissioning processes, quality assurance, health and safety requirements, construction sequencing and relevant technical standards is essential. You should be confident interpreting drawings, specifications and method statements, while having the ability to identify technical risks and implement practical solutions. Excellent communication, coordination and stakeholder-management skills are required, together with strong organisational ability and attention to detail. Experience managing multidisciplinary teams and working across live or operational environments would be advantageous. Relevant technical qualifications, professional accreditation or industry-recognised commissioning certification are desirable. The position may require travel to project sites and occasional flexible working to support testing activities and operational deadlines.
