Commissioning Manager – Energy from Waste / High Temperature Incineration – County Durham – 5 Month Contract – Outside IR35 – £/day

Samuel Frank is recruiting for an experienced Commissioning Manager to lead the commissioning programme on a major Energy from Waste / High Temperature Incineration (HTI) facility in County Durham who has experience of combustion commissioning.

This is a 5-month contract, deemed to fall outside of IR35, with a day rate of £/day depending on experience. 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.

This is not a role for someone who has only supported commissioning. The successful Commissioning Manager will have a proven track record of leading commissioning activities on complex process plants and be comfortable taking technical and programme ownership from day one.

Key aspects of the Commissioning Manager role include;

Leading the complete commissioning programme from mechanical completion through cold commissioning, hot commissioning, first fire, performance testing and final handover
Managing multidisciplinary teams covering mechanical, electrical, controls, instrumentation and process engineering
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
Contractor management and stakeholder coordination

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Commissioning Manager looking for a technically challenging contract where they’ll take complete ownership of commissioning a complex industrial facility through to successful handover.
