Hybrid Role

I'm recruiting on behalf of a key client for an experienced Commissioning Manager to join a major infrastructure programme within a high-security, highly regulated environment.

This role plays a key part in the end-to-end commissioning lifecycle—covering planning, testing, verification & validation, through to handover. You'll be responsible for ensuring that systems and facilities are safe, compliant, and operationally ready.

What You'll Be Doing:

1. Author and implement commissioning strategies and plans aligned with the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
2. Develop and maintain commissioning schedules in line with the integrated master schedule
3. Lead Verification & Validation (V&V) activities and associated documentation
4. Oversee commissioning processes, ensuring they are fit-for-purpose and effectively rolled out across delivery teams
5. Collaborate with key internal teams (Operations, OCC, Nuclear Services) and external suppliers
6. Deliver regular updates to the Operational Readiness Manager, achieving key milestones
7. Ensure robust safety practices for all test and commissioning activities
8. Witness FAT, SAT, and Setting to Work (STW) activities in both active and inactive environments
9. Resolve test failures and manage change to commissioning schedules, resources, and forecasts
10. Drive compliance with LC21 (Commissioning) and associated governance requirements
11. Lead integration of commissioning with the overall programme delivery strategy

We're Looking For Someone With:

1. Demonstrable experience developing commissioning and test strategies
2. Strong knowledge of V&V methodology (especially the V model)
3. Solid background in nuclear or other highly regulated sectors
4. Deep understanding of commissioning procedures, LC21, and site safety protocols
5. Excellent project delivery experience—ideally within nuclear, defence, or similarly complex environments
6. Confident communicator, both written and verbal, with experience working across cross-discipline teams and with clients
7. High-level organisational and project management skills

Qualifications & Clearance Required:

1. Degree in Engineering or similar relevant discipline, or equivalent experience
2. Progression toward chartered status with a recognised body is desirable
3. Must be eligible for or already hold security clearance (SC or DV)
4. Expertise in mechanical, electrical, I&C, or process systems preferred
