Commissioning Manager

Electrical, Controls & Hazardous Area Systems

Location: Chichester (office & workshop based) + UK & occasional international travel

Salary: £55 £70,000 DOE + car allowance + bonus

Type: Permanent, full-time

The Opportunity

This is a senior, hands-on Commissioning Manager role within a specialist engineering business delivering complex electrical, control and fluid-handling systems into hazardous, regulated environments.

You'll take full ownership of commissioning activities, from FAT involvement through to site execution, handover, and client acceptance, working closely with engineering, projects, service, and commercial teams.

Around 60% of your time will be based in Chichester (office, workshop, testing), with the remaining 40% on customer sites across the UK and occasional international travel. As such, this role suits someone within approximately one hour's commute of Chichester who enjoys a mix of base work and site delivery.

This is not a desk-only role. It's a position for someone who enjoys technical accountability, problem-solving, and being the person others rely on when systems need to work first time.

What You'll Be Responsible For

  • Leading and executing commissioning activities across electrical, control, hydraulic and process systems
  • Supporting and participating in FATs, SATs, site commissioning and final handover
  • Planning commissioning strategies, resources and schedules across multiple projects
  • Acting as the technical authority during commissioning phases, resolving issues on site
  • Producing and managing SAT documentation, RAMS, handover packs and acceptance sign-off
  • Supporting sales and projects with technical input, estimates and commissioning strategy
  • Providing escalation-level technical support to service teams (PLC, instrumentation, controls)
  • Coordinating internal engineers and subcontractors during commissioning activities
  • Championing safety, quality and environmental standards at all times

What We're Looking For

You'll be an experienced commissioning professional who is comfortable working in safety-critical environments and taking responsibility for delivery. This role would suit someone with significant industry experience who is comfortable leading commissioning activities rather than just supporting them.

Essential experience:

  • Strong understanding of electrical control systems
  • Strong understanding of hydraulic control systems
  • Hands-on experience with PLC and HMI programming
  • Experience commissioning systems in industrial or regulated environments
  • Confident fault-finding capability
  • Full UK driving licence

Highly desirable:

  • Experience working in ATEX / hazardous area environments
  • Experience with Accuload, Multiload or Contrec load computers
  • Experience commissioning high-pressure systems
  • Strong documentation discipline (SATs, RAMS, handover packs)
  • Ability to read and interpret P&ID drawings

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Senior-level technical ownership, not just supervision
  • Visible, valued role within project delivery
  • Strong mix of office, workshop and site work
  • Opportunity to influence commissioning standards and approach
  • Exposure to complex, real-world engineering challenges
  • Clear trust placed in your technical judgement

Interested?

If you're an experienced Commissioning Manager or Senior Commissioning Engineer ready to step into a role with real responsibility and technical credibility, we'd like to hear from you.
