Role: Commissioning Engineer - Water Infrastructure
Overview:
The primary purpose of the Commissioning Engineer role is to plan, execute, and document commissioning activities across water infrastructure projects and programmes. The Commissioning Engineer will ensure all works are carried out safely and in line with established processes, systems, and procedures.
This role sits within a matrix management structure and reports to:
1. The Project Manager for matters relating to planning, progress, safety, and quality.
2. The Commissioning Manager for project allocation, governance, and training needs.
Key Responsibilities as a Commissioning Engineer:
1. Develop and implement the Design Phase Commissioning Plan in collaboration with client commissioning representatives. Adapt this into a Delivery Phase Commissioning Plan, supported by detailed risk assessments and procedures.
2. Lead and document commissioning meetings at appropriate stages of the project, including the facilitation of HAZCOMM reviews at the onset of the commissioning phase.
3. Coordinate on-site commissioning activities to meet programme targets, resolving conflicts with guidance from the Site Manager.
4. Ensure commissioning documentation is completed and uploaded to the project's Common Data Environment (CDE) in real time to demonstrate testing progress and compliance.
5. Collaborate with the client to develop a training plan. Manage the coordination and delivery of training sessions (including external suppliers/subcontractors), gather feedback from attendees, and compile training reports for upload to the CDE.
6. Update and mark-up any drawings and documents changed during commissioning to serve as the foundation for as-built versions.
7. Lead the reliability and performance testing stages and produce reports that demonstrate alignment with project objectives.
8. Support the Project Manager in resolving post-completion defects as necessary.
