Join a major mission-critical infrastructure project and play a key role in ensuring complex facilities are fully tested, validated, and ready for operational handover.

We're seeking a technically strong commissioning professional to support the review and assessment of construction, commissioning, and turnover activities on a large-scale engineering project. This is not a traditional project management role. Instead, you'll act as a technical authority, reviewing deliverables, witnessing testing activities, identifying risks, and challenging standards where necessary to ensure systems are fit for operation.

Responsibilities

• Review commissioning plans, testing procedures, and technical documentation
• Witness commissioning and integrated systems testing activities
• Assess handover packages, QA/QC documentation, drawings, and operating manuals
• Identify technical risks, deficiencies, and gaps before operational handover
• Track remediation actions and support issue resolution with contractors and stakeholders
• Provide technical recommendations on system readiness and operational suitability
• Support the development and review of operating procedures and readiness activities

Requirements

• Strong commissioning experience within complex engineering or industrial environments
• Ability to review technical documentation and challenge deliverables where required
• Background in mission‑critical facilities, power generation, utilities, industrial projects, oil & gas, nuclear, or similar highly regulated sectors
• Experience balancing on‑site inspections with documentation review and reporting
• Excellent analytical, problem‑solving, and communication skills
• Confident stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence without direct authorityExperience supporting QA/QC reviews of technical documentation and turnover packages, including O&M manuals and commissioning records

What We’re Looking For

Beyond technical capability, we’re looking for someone with the right mindset:

• Naturally curious and eager to learn
• Comfortable asking questions and challenging assumptions
• Detail‑oriented with a strong focus on quality and operational readiness
• Able to work independently in a fast‑paced, technically complex environment
• Adaptable and motivated by solving challenging engineering problems

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced commissioning professional seeking exposure to one of Europe's most complex and technically demanding infrastructure environments. Based on the scope of work, the role involves commissioning reviews, operational readiness activities, QA/QC assessments, documentation reviews, and supporting the transition from construction and commissioning into operations.
