About the Role

We are seeking a Commissioning Manager to support the successful delivery of a major infrastructure and equipment programme.

The successful candidate will play a critical role in preparing newly delivered infrastructure and equipment for operational use by ensuring commissioning activities are properly authorised, coordinated, and integrated with operational stakeholders.

During the design phases, the Commissioning Manager will ensure that all systems and equipment are engineered to meet operational needs, safety management arrangements, and applicable regulatory requirements. The role involves close collaboration with design teams, contractors, and wider stakeholders to embed commissioning requirements early in the design, supporting a seamless progression through construction, commissioning, and handover stages.

The role will involve a blend of on‑site presence at programme locations and remote working, aligning attendance with the needs of stakeholder engagement and programme integration. Occasional travel to additional sites or supplier facilities may be required to support programme activities such as acceptance trials and technical reviews.
