Key outputs

• Technical delivery and commissioning duties
• Lead and safe delivery of installation, pre-commissioning and commissioning activities for power generation systems to achieve client acceptance and handover.
• Produce and approve commissioning procedures, test packs, witnessed test certificates, and final close‑out documentation.
• Troubleshoot complex technical faults during early‑life operation and coordinate supplier/engineering interventions to restore availability.
• Planning, resources and commercial control
• Develop and maintain detailed commissioning schedules, outage and permit plans, resource rosters and material/spares forecasts to meet project milestones.
• Prioritise and allocate commissioning tasks to maximise crew productivity and project profitability while controlling consumables within delegated budgets.
• Manage minor variations, raise RFIs and coordinate contractor/vendor scope and attendance for FAT/SAT and site works.
• Governance, stakeholders and continuous improvement
• Ensure compliance with HSE, QA/QC, permit‑to‑work and regulatory requirements and sign off safety and quality records.
• Present status, technical issues and acceptance results to clients, principals, regional operations and senior management and escalate risks that exceed authority limits.
• Capture field failures and reliability data, compile root‑cause product issue reports, and coordinate corrective actions with suppliers and engineering to drive continuous product improvement and support NPI.
• Technical commissioning and handover
• Lead and deliver safe, compliant commissioning of power generation and related systems, producing completed commissioning records, witnessed test certificates, and client acceptance packs.
• Planning, scheduling and resource control
• Produce and maintain detailed commissioning schedules, switch/permit plans, resourcing rosters, and outage windows; align milestones with project timelines and client constraints.
• Team leadership and supervision
• Supervise the commissioning team (commissioning engineers, coordinators, technicians), select and develop site personnel, run daily briefings and toolbox talks, and ensure competent delivery on site.
• Quality, safety and compliance
• Ensure all commissioning activities follow company procedures, HSE protocols, QA/QC requirements and permit-to-work rules; create and sign off safety and quality documentation.
• Technical support and troubleshooting
• Provide expert on-site and remote technical support for installation issues, debugging, reliability investigations, and early-life failures; escalate complex defects to engineering and suppliers
• Continuous service improvement and supplier liaison
• Capture recurring field defects and performance data; compile root-cause product issue reports; coordinate corrective actions with suppliers and engineering to drive product improvements.
• New product introduction (NPI) support
• Validate new equipment in the field, feed commissioning lessons into design reviews, confirm readiness of spares and documentation, and support controlled rollouts across regions.
• Warranty, reliability and durability outputs
• Investigate warranty/CPI cases, document findings, recommend remedial actions, and provide formal reports to commercial and service teams for claims and reliability improvements.
• Planning and prioritisation for productivity and profitability
• Prioritise commissioning and support jobs to maximise crew utilisation and reduce downtime; control consumable and spare-part usage within delegated budgets.
• Communication, reporting and stakeholder engagement
• Present commissioning status, technical issues, and acceptance results to principals, regional operations, clients, and management; issue RFIs, variation requests, and milestone reports.
• Handover, training and close-out
• Prepare final handover documentation, operations/training sessions for client teams, and formal close-out reports that record outstanding punch lists and warranty arrangements.
• Self-management and performance ownership
• Maintain clear personal accountability for meeting milestones, KPIs, and escalation obligations; keep accurate, auditable records of decisions and approvals
