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. Work often takes place outside normal hours to lower the risk of customer interruptions whilst new plant is commissioned and tested. The planning process towards this can be very long term. There will be limited technical guidance provided and you may have to request help. General remote managerial supervision is provided. You will contribute to the development of commissioning testing. 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.

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. You will normally be the technical authority on site for solving problems, faults, failures.
