The Senior Commissioning (Cx) Manager is responsible for assignment-level planning, coordination, readiness verification, and delivery of the Mission Critical (MC) commissioning program on large, complex, or multi-project assignments across the Level 0-5 lifecycle, in accordance with the Commissioning Execution Standard (CxES) and applicable client requirements. The role leads Suffolk's commissioning responsibilities through project closeout and coordinates Suffolk's preparation, participation, issue resolution, and turnover support during client- and Commissioning Agent (CxA)-led commissioning activities.
