“`html

Are you a seasoned commissioning leader ready to drive the successful startup of critical energy infrastructure without relocating? This is your chance to join a pioneering firm where your expertise in overseeing complex system handovers will directly impact the global transition to sustainable power. Lead from your home office and shape the future of energy delivery.

About the Role

We are seeking a meticulous and proactive Remote Commissioning Manager to spearhead the commissioning phase of large-scale power generation and transmission projects. In this pivotal role, you will be the central point of contact for all commissioning activities, ensuring that facilities are built, tested, and delivered according to stringent safety, quality, and performance specifications. You will manage cross-functional teams of engineers, contractors, and clients, developing detailed commissioning plans, schedules, and procedures from the kickoff phase through to final client acceptance and handover.

Your leadership will be critical in troubleshooting operational issues, managing risks, and guaranteeing that all systems integrate seamlessly. This is a high-impact, remote position that requires exceptional organizational skills, a deep understanding of industry standards (like IEC, IEEE, NFPA), and the ability to travel periodically to project sites for key milestones and inspections. You will be instrumental in turning engineering designs into fully functional, revenue-generating assets.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute comprehensive commissioning strategies, plans, and manuals for assigned projects.
• Lead and coordinate the commissioning team, including subcontractors, vendors, and client representatives.
• Conduct pre-commissioning and commissioning inspections, witnessing tests, and documenting results.
• Manage the punch list process, ensuring all deficiencies are corrected prior to final acceptance.
• Serve as the primary technical liaison between project management, construction, and the client during the commissioning phase.
• Ensure all activities comply with environmental, health, safety, and regulatory requirements.
• Prepare and present commissioning progress reports, lessons learned, and final turnover packages.

Requirements

The ideal candidate will bring a robust background in engineering project delivery within the energy, utilities, or heavy industrial sector. We are looking for a self-starter who thrives in a remote environment and possesses the gravitas to lead critical project phases independently.

Essential Qualifications

• Minimum of 7-10 years of progressive experience in commissioning, startup, or plant operations, with at least 3 years in a leadership/managerial role.
• Proven track record managing the commissioning of complex systems (e.g., power plants, substations, renewable energy facilities, or large industrial plants).
• Strong knowledge of commissioning processes, safety protocols, and industry codes and standards.
• Exceptional communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills.
• Proficiency with commissioning software, MS Project, and document control systems.
• Must be legally authorized to work in the country of the hiring entity (this is a remote job for residents of the United States).
