Applying precedents, you will make decisions about a way forward. Often there is no right answer. For this reason, communication must be unambiguous. Risk is often reduced by an ability to understand and rationalise conflicting points of view to reach an optimum solution. Work is normally on sites with varying degrees of accommodation. The majority of the work is site-based including outdoor and indoor construction areas and site-based office locations.

Outline rules and policies exist to guide staff. New developments are being incorporated into designs all the time resulting in your learning. Commissioning engineers are often required to provide expertise to operational staff when faults or failures affect customers' supplies. The workload tends to be peaked towards the summer and early winter months and as a result of network outage risk, customer requirements and the demands of the programme require flexible working times. You will have to work outside normal hours. You will be a major influence on prioritisation and planning of work. Decisions on testing and energisation lay with you.
