Process Commissioning Engineer - Water / Wastewater
Location: Newport, Wales
Type: Permanent or Contract, Full-Time | Site-based with travel
Why this role stands out
Prefer being on site rather than behind a desk? This is a role where you'll take full ownership of bringing major infrastructure assets into operation.
You'll take newly built treatment systems and turn them into fully operational, compliant assets, working hands-on with process plant, MEICA systems and live environments.
It's a position with real responsibility, high visibility, and the opportunity to see the direct results of your work every day.
Key responsibilities:
- Develop and deliver commissioning strategies for process plant, including sequencing, FAT/SAT and performance testing
- Lead on-site commissioning of process and MEICA assets, ensuring systems meet design intent and regulatory requirements
- Manage commissioning through construction, including outage planning, programme coordination and client liaison
- Produce and manage commissioning documentation (RAMS, ITPs, QA records, handover packs)
- Carry out testing, optimisation and performance validation, including site-based analysis
- Maintain strong safety standards, including process/COSHH compliance
- Coordinate subcontractors and support installation and commissioning interfaces
- Support and mentor junior engineers where required
