• Driving best practice across processes, documentation, and Health & Safety
• Mentoring delivery partners and team members while promoting a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and innovation
• Representing the commissioning team in stakeholder discussions and managing escalated issues to resolution

What You’ll Need:

• Extensive experience in commissioning of Waste and Water Treatment Plants & associated processes
• Proven track record of successful project delivery and plant performance verification
