We are recruiting an experienced Senior Completions Engineer / Completions Lead to own the construction-to-commissioning handover process on the Highview Power (HVP) Liquid Air Energy Storage project at Carrington.

This is a senior, project-wide role with line management of two discipline Completions Engineers – one Mechanical & Piping and one E&I. The Completions Lead owns the systemisation strategy, the completions database, the ITR and STP suite, and the walkdown and punch list process from Ready for Walkdown through Mechanical Completion to system acceptance by Highview Power.

The role engages daily with the Commissioning Manager and Highview Power’s commissioning team to align construction completion priorities with the Stability Island commissioning sequence, and interfaces directly with MAN Energy Solutions, Baker Hughes/EVERLLENCE and other free-issue equipment vendors at the point of handover.

The successful candidate will report to the Construction Manager and will be accountable for the right work being completed at the right time, to the right quality, with a complete, auditable handover dossier and zero outstanding A-punch items at the point of system energisation.

• Lead and line-manage the Mechanical & Piping Completions Engineer and the E&I Completions Engineer – setting priorities, allocating systems, reviewing output, and developing both team members.
• Own the completions strategy for the project and the rolling 4-week completions look-ahead.
• Chair the weekly Completions Coordination meeting with Construction, QA/QC, Commissioning and the Client.
• Represent Completions at the Project Leadership Team, Interface Management and Construction Review meetings.
• Set and maintain the standard of work across both discipline streams – consistency of ITRs, STPs, walkdown packs and reporting.
• Act as the primary interface between Construction and Commissioning, working daily with the Commissioning Manager and Highview Power’s commissioning team.
• Align the construction completion sequence with the commissioning sequence – cold commissioning, hot commissioning, Stability Island energisation, generator first synchronisation.
• Agree and maintain the Systems Limits of Battery (SLOB) drawings with Commissioning so that every tag has a clear system and sub-system home.
• Issue the rolling commissioning-handover forecast and prioritise punch list close-out against the commissioning need date – not the construction-finish date.
• Manage the technical interface with MAN Energy Solutions, Baker Hughes/EVERLLENCE, GSUT and IPB vendors at the point of system handover.

• Own the system / sub-system breakdown structure aligned with the Highview Power KKS tag structure, plant zoning and the construction sequence.
• Own the completions database (e.g. WinPCS, Go Completions, Hexagon Smart Completions, Cora or equivalent) – configuration, user access, ITR library, system structure and reporting.
• Direct the M&P and E&I Completions Engineers in populating, maintaining and reporting from the database.
• Issue weekly and monthly completions progress reports to the Construction Manager, Project Director and Highview Power, with forecast vs actual completion curves by system and discipline.
• Review the ITR / QC check sheet library across all disciplines and approve all new and revised check sheets before issue.
• Ensure alignment with project specifications, vendor requirements (MAN Energy Solutions, Baker Hughes/EVERLLENCE, GSUT, IPB) and applicable codes (ASME B31.3, BS EN 13480, IEC 60364, ATEX/DSEAR where relevant).
• Quality-check and sign off System Turnover Packages (STPs) /…
