Job Description

My client specialises in water and wastewater treatment for a very wide range industrial clients including the power,
electronics, steel & aluminium, pharmaceutical, and general manufacturing.

The Commissioning Engineer is responsible for the pre-commissioning, commissioning, start-up and troubleshooting of all plant and equipment associated with the water and wastewater treatment systems designed and supplied by the Company. An integral part of commissioning is also the provision of training for the clients' operators. For many clients we also provide on-going operational assistance and trouble shooting.

Tasks and responsibilities
For larger projects, the Commissioning Engineer may be required to oversee completion of multi-discipline work on site, especially in the final stages of installation. During the commissioning / start-up stage, he /she may form part of or even supervise a larger Commissioning Team and provide multi-disciplinary input into the scheduling, designing and planning of projects. This can include the development of multi-disciplinary commissioning strategy documents for projects.
This can therefore include reviewing, approving and overseeing the installation and design of minor temporary commissioning supplies and systems. It is the Commissioning Engineer's responsibility to make sure that all commissioning procedures follow all appropriate safety practises and procedures and this work therefore essentially includes working to all appropriate Quality, Environmental and Health & Safety standards, whether the Company's or the Client's. Part of this responsibility involves auditing commissioning activities on regularly to ensure compliance with such requirements. The Commissioning Engineer communicates with the Project Engineer to ensure that all necessary designs and other documents are available on site when required. He or she is responsible for regularly monitoring and reporting commissioning progress.

Education & Ability
The candidate will ideally have had a technical education and/or is a science graduate, preferably in chemical or process engineering, alternatively mechanical or electrical engineering. He or she should preferably have extensive experience in operation and process design of industrial water and wastewater treatment plants. Previous experience in applying HSE-standards, working as part of a startup and commissioning team and classroom training of clients is viewed as essential. He or she must possess a logical mind, good communication and people skills and be willing to travel not just within the UK but also abroad. The very nature of the plants that we sell to clients means that often commissioning will last for weeks and months, not just days.

Please note that candidates MUST have the below experience / qualifications as a minimum.

Formal qualifications on mechanical, electrical or process engineering.
Hands on commissioning experience
Water industry background in either municipal or industrial water treatment.

On offer is a salary of 30 - 40,000 + package depending on experience.
