• Work closely with Project Managers, Engineers, HSE and other site stakeholders to plan and deliver commissioning safely and efficiently
• Review design documents/drawings for compliance with specs, standards and codes
• Identify, troubleshoot and resolve commissioning issues/defects; manage close‑out
• Maintain and update commissioning documentation including punch lists
• Coordinate with site interfaces including Siemens, LOTO and admin functions
• Support safe systems of work, including HSE compliance and permit/LOTO processes

Proven site‑based commissioning experience in electrical systems

• LV & MV switch gear
• Generator Circuit Breaker (GCB)
• CT & VT testing
• Transformer testing
• Ability to work independently and deliver commissioning without reliance on supervision/support
• Strong understanding of relevant standards, codes and safe working practices
• Clear documentation and communication skills (reports, test evidence, punch lists)

• Familiarity with Siemens systems/interfaces
• Experience with structured commissioning plans/procedures and close‑out processes
• Safety certification (e.g., NEBOSH/IOSH/OSHA-equivalent) and strong HSE mindset
• Degree/HND/HNC in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent)
