Knowledge and Experience Required You will hold either a relevant engineering degree or Higher National HNC/HND qualification. It is desirable that you have network operational experience as an Authorised Person (AP) of which, a period of time would be as a commissioning engineer. This is a complex field requiring high technical understanding and proficiency and will include the ability to apply practical engineering sense from first principles using a logical disciplined approach to problem solving. Additional IT skills will allow interaction from laptop to complex modern relay schemes to programme, test, extract fault records and interpret results with a right first-time approach. Principal Accountabilities Ensure safety management prevail throughout all areas and that safety performance is maintained within parameters defined by the Executive. Promote the zero harm philosophy. Plan and manage the programme of commissioning work testing and plant acceptance testing leading to safe energisation and successful project completion for both internal and external customers. Develop and agree commissioning plans and programmes for projects applying sound engineering knowledge to set standards and ensure through and complete testing of new schemes. At design reviews working with in-house, contractor and supplier experts, evaluate designs which deliver optimisation and leads to scheme design understanding, reduced risk and complete testing methodology. Check and apply software programmable logic and settings to protection schemes checking operational and making adjustments to the scheme logic. During commissioning testing, diagnose problems and propose modifications to scheme design to provide desired operability. As a recognised expert, investigate, advise, diagnose and correct mal operations that occur during the life of the equipment. Drawing on the skills of senior commissioning engineers, collaboration with technical experts in other organisations propose the root cause and to develop permanent solutions to the issues. Often this is required to tight timescales when network equipment has failed in service. Work with Network Control, planning and authorising safe energisation of plant on to the network. To ensure that Customer Minutes Lost (CML) and Customer Interruptions (CI) are minimised as a result of the activities of commissioning new plant and that schemes will deliver lower numbers over the life of the project. To witness contractors testing and to coordinate the use of test sheets, test routines and policy applied. Ensure that all settings applied to relays are confirmed back into our database before energisation. All as built records are completed by contractors and employees to ensure records of work are maintained.

From the early broad design review to detailed design checks at the later stages. Equipment is checked, tested, safely energised and records updated as part of the process. The role is one of teamwork with many other specialists and colleagues. Commissioning equipment requires communication and understanding with technical staff Contractors, Suppliers, and Customers and internally with designers and project managers. Technical problems that occur on site are normally handled locally where you will find a way to achieve the end often without reference to higher authority. 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. 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. 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. You will normally be the technical authority on site for solving problems, faults, failures.
