Knowledge, Experienced Required
You will hold either a relevant engineering degree or Higher National HNC/HND qualification.
We ask 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 fundamentals using a logical disciplined approach to problem solving.
Additional IT skills will allow interaction from lap top to complex modern relay schemes to programme, test, extract fault records and interpret results with a right first time approach.
You will lead site-based teams diplomatically rather than using positional power. You will demonstrate the ability to understand and rationalise conflicting points of view to reach an optimum solution.
Principal Accountabilities
Ensure safety management prevails throughout all responsibilities 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, delivering optimisation, leading 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 company database before energisation. All as built records are completed by contractors and employees to ensure records of work are maintained.Nature and Scope
Commissioning and the associated quality assurance occur throughout the process of delivering the network capital programme. 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. Often there is no right answer. For this reason communication must be enthusiastic and unambiguous. Risk is often reduced by an ability to understand and rationalise conflicting points of view to reach the best 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 has to take 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.
Limited technical guidance is provided to you and normally you will have to request help. General remote managerial guidance is provided.
You will contribute to the development of commissioning testing. Outline rules and policies exist to guide you. New developments are being incorporated into designs all the time resulting in your continuos 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, flexibility of working times is required leading 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 are normally the technical authority on site for resolving problems, faults and failures Cooperation with experts from suppliers, internally and contractors ensures a balanced outcome to site initiated design alterations and acceptance.
Health & Safety Responsibilities
Managers and supervisors carry both legal and company responsibilities for ensuring the health and safety of their employees, those under their control and those who might be affected by the work undertaken, i.e. public, visitors and employees of other organisations. This includes briefing individuals working for them and ensuring there is the necessary understanding, competence and application of requirements to work safely and without harming the environment.
Employees will ensure they understand the health and safety risks involved in their work activities and their responsibility to apply the controls needed to manage those risks to acceptable levels. Similarly where work activities can have an adverse impact upon the environment, and where there are legal requirements, employees will understand those impacts and the controls they must ensure are applied.
Employees need to be aware that for some craft and operational roles that work at height, or use fall arrest devices, there is an upper weight limit of 116Kg due to maximum safe working load of the safety equipment that is used.
