Lead Commissioning Engineer - Europe
We are seeking a Lead Commissioning Engineer to oversee the successful commissioning of complex engineering and industrial projects across Europe. This is a senior, hands-on role involving the planning, coordination and delivery of commissioning activities from design review through to client handover. You will work closely with project managers, engineering disciplines, contractors, suppliers and client representatives to ensure systems are installed, tested and brought into operation safely, efficiently and in accordance with project requirements.
Your responsibilities will include developing commissioning strategies, plans, procedures and schedules; reviewing designs, technical documentation and equipment specifications; and ensuring commissioning requirements are incorporated throughout the project lifecycle. You will lead multidisciplinary commissioning teams on site, coordinate pre-commissioning and functional testing, manage punch-list completion, and oversee performance testing and final acceptance. The role will also involve identifying technical risks, resolving interface issues, monitoring progress, supporting cost and programme control, and maintaining accurate records, reports and handover documentation. A strong commitment to health, safety, environmental and quality standards is essential, as is the ability to promote a positive and collaborative site culture.
Applicants should have substantial commissioning experience within an industrial, energy, infrastructure or similarly complex engineering environment, together with a relevant engineering qualification or equivalent technical experience. You will need proven experience leading commissioning teams and contractors across multiple project phases, with the flexibility to travel extensively and work on international sites throughout Europe. Strong knowledge of commissioning methodologies, testing processes, construction interfaces and project controls is required. Excellent communication, organisation and problem-solving skills are essential, along with the confidence to make informed decisions in challenging site conditions. The ability to work professionally with clients and stakeholders at all levels, manage competing priorities and deliver safely to demanding deadlines will be key to success.
