I'm recruiting on behalf of a key client for an experienced Commissioning Manager to join a major infrastructure programme within a high-security, highly regulated environment.
This role plays a key part in the end-to-end commissioning lifecycle—covering planning, testing, verification & validation, through to handover. You’ll be responsible for ensuring that systems and facilities are safe, compliant, and operationally ready.
We’re particularly interested in candidates with a background in mechanical, process, electrical, or instrumentation and control (I&C), and a strong understanding of nuclear safety and regulatory compliance.
What You’ll Be Doing:
* Author and implement commissioning strategies and plans aligned with the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
* Develop and maintain commissioning schedules in line with the integrated master schedule
* Lead Verification & Validation (V&V) activities and associated documentation
* Oversee commissioning processes, ensuring they are fit-for-purpose and effectively rolled out across delivery teams
* Collaborate with key internal teams (Operations, OCC, Nuclear Services) and external suppliers
* Deliver regular updates to the Operational Readiness Manager, achieving key milestones
* Ensure robust safety practices for all test and commissioning activities
* Witness FAT, SAT, and Setting to Work (STW) activities in both active and inactive environments
* Resolve test failures and manage change to commissioning schedules, resources, and forecasts
* Drive compliance with LC21 (Commissioning) and associated governance requirements
* Lead integration of commissioning with the overall programme delivery strategy
* Demonstrable experience developing commissioning and test strategies
* Strong knowledge of V&V methodology (especially the V model)
* Solid background in nuclear or other highly regulated sectors
* Deep understanding of commissioning procedures, LC21, and site safety protocols
* Excellent project delivery experience—ideally within nuclear, defence, or similarly complex environments
* Confident communicator, both written and verbal, with experience working across cross-discipline teams and with clients
* High-level organisational and project management skills
Qualifications & Clearance Required:
* Degree in Engineering or similar relevant discipline, or equivalent experience
* Progression toward chartered status with a recognised body is desirable
* Already hold security clearance ( DV)
* Expertise in mechanical, electrical, I&C, or process systems preferred
