The Opportunity

You will take the lead on commissioning activities across the development, working closely with the project management, MEP, design and construction teams.

• Coordinating testing, commissioning and witnessing activities.
• Working with the wider project team to resolve technical and delivery issues.
• Ensuring commissioning documentation and handover requirements are completed to a high standard.
• Supporting the project through to successful completion and occupation.

What We're Looking For

You will ideally have:

• Previous experience in a Commissioning Manager or Commissioning Project Manager position.
• A strong mechanical building services background.
• Experience working on major residential, commercial or mixed-use developments.
• Proven experience managing contractors and specialist commissioning teams.
• Strong project coordination and programme management skills.
