The S&C Commissioning Engineer Representative is a critical execution role responsible for ensuring that SCADA commissioning activities are delivered safely, on time, and to the required technical and quality standards across both onshore and offshore environments. The role sits at the intersection of engineering, site execution, and stakeholder coordination, with direct impact on the successful energisation and handover of Substation Control Systems and Metering.

The position requires a strong on-site presence, including offshore work during key commissioning phases, where the ability to operate effectively in a high-pressure, multi-contractor environment is essential. The individual is expected to take ownership of day-to-day commissioning execution, ensuring that progress is maintained, risks are actively managed, and technical integrity is upheld throughout.

A central part of the role is to lead and coordinate SCADA commissioning activities across interfaces. This includes close collaboration with SCADA contractors, electrical commissioning teams, and project stakeholders to ensure alignment with the overall commissioning plan. The role is not limited to coordination but requires active supervision and management of commissioning personnel and activities, ensuring that testing is executed correctly, documented properly, and aligned with project requirements.

The S&C Commissioning Engineer Representative is responsible for maintaining a clear and accurate overview of commissioning progress, providing structured reporting to the SCADA Package Manager and Commissioning Manager. This includes highlighting deviations, driving corrective actions, and ensuring that delays or quality issues are addressed proactively. The role requires a high level of ownership in maintaining momentum on site and removing execution barriers as they arise.

Quality assurance and compliance are core elements of the role. The individual ensures that all commissioning activities are carried out in accordance with project HSE standards, internal requirements, and applicable local legislation. This includes validating contractor deliverables, approving checklists and test documentation, and ensuring full traceability across commissioning activities. The role also involves driving the completion and closure of snagging activities to ensure a clean and compliant handover.

From a planning perspective, the role contributes actively to the development and maintenance of commissioning schedules and plans. This includes defining scope, timelines, and QA/QC requirements for SCADA commissioning, as well as ensuring that the necessary resources are available to execute the work. Where gaps or constraints are identified, the role is expected to escalate and request additional support to maintain delivery commitments.

The technical scope of the role includes commissioning of Substation Control Systems and Metering, with active participation in FAT, SAT, and SIT activities. The individual plays a key role in ensuring that systems are tested, validated, and integrated correctly, and that all documentation supporting these activities is complete and approved.

The position carries a significant degree of responsibility and decision-making authority in relation to commissioning execution. The individual is expected to initiate actions required to maintain progress, propose changes where necessary, and ensure that the commissioning strategy is effectively translated into site-level execution.

To succeed in this role, the candidate must bring a solid technical foundation combined with proven experience in project execution or commissioning environments. A background at

B.Sc. level or equivalent is expected, along with relevant project management experience and preferably certification such as IPMA or PMP. Just as important is the ability to lead in a site-based environment, manage multiple stakeholders, and drive structured execution under pressure.

Given the nature of the role, offshore work is a mandatory…
