The Senior Commissioning Engineer’s role will evolve during the lifecycle of the project and combine technical knowledge with project delivery skills. At the early stages you will contribute to detailed planning and preparation. Following this, you will oversee the execution of commissioning tests as part of a team and analysis of the results to justify the readiness of the HPC units to safely enter commercial operation.
