The project runs from mid-to-late August through to December/January and requires someone who can take ownership of commissioning from mechanical completion through to final performance testing and operational handover.

* Owning commissioning plans, schedules, system handovers, readiness reviews and commissioning documentation
* Leading loop checks, instrument calibration, PLC, DCS and SCADA testing activities
* Managing first fire, kiln warm-up, hot commissioning and plant optimisation
* Driving performance testing, emissions compliance and operational acceptance
* Working closely with EPC contractors, specialist vendors, operations and senior management throughout the project
* Ensuring commissioning activities are delivered safely whilst maintaining programme and regulatory compliance
The successful Commissioning Manager is likely to have experience knowledge of some of the following;
* Energy from Waste (EfW)
* High Temperature Incineration (HTI)
* Rotary kilns
* Thermal treatment plants
* Waste management
* Biomass
* Power generation
* Process plants
* Chemical plants
* Heavy industrial commissioning
The Commissioning Manager will ideally have experience with;
* Boilers and combustion systems
* PLC, DCS and SCADA control systems
* Electrical and instrumentation commissioning
* Safety systems and process control
* Functional testing and performance acceptance
* HAZOP, PSSR and commissioning documentation
* Managing large multidisciplinary commissioning teams
