BESS Commissioning Manager
We are seeking an experienced BESS Commissioning Manager to lead the safe, efficient and successful commissioning of battery energy storage system projects from construction completion through to commercial operation. This role will coordinate commissioning activities across electrical, mechanical, control, protection and software systems, ensuring that all equipment and interfaces perform in accordance with approved designs, contractual requirements and applicable standards. You will work closely with engineering, construction, controls, grid connection, equipment suppliers and client representatives to establish clear commissioning plans, programmes and readiness criteria.
Key responsibilities will include developing and maintaining commissioning strategies, inspection and test plans, method statements, schedules and reporting processes. You will manage energisation, functional testing, performance testing, troubleshooting and defect resolution for battery systems, power conversion systems, transformers, switchgear, protection and control systems, energy management systems and site communications. The role will also involve coordinating subcontractors and original equipment manufacturers, leading daily commissioning meetings, reviewing test records, monitoring progress against milestones and ensuring that all activities are completed safely and accurately. You will support grid compliance testing, operational handover, operator training and the preparation of final commissioning dossiers and as-built documentation.
Applicants should have significant commissioning experience within utility-scale energy storage, renewable energy, high-voltage electrical infrastructure or a closely related environment. A strong understanding of BESS architecture, AC and DC systems, SCADA, protection schemes, power quality, functional safety and grid connection requirements is essential. Experience managing multidisciplinary teams and external contractors on complex projects is highly desirable, along with the ability to interpret electrical drawings, control philosophies, technical specifications and test procedures. Relevant electrical qualifications and high-voltage authorisation would be advantageous. You must be confident working on active project sites, capable of making sound decisions under pressure and committed to maintaining the highest standards of health, safety, quality and environmental performance. Regular travel to project locations may be required.
