I'm currently partnered with a leading electrical subcontractor who are actively looking to appoint a Commissioning Manager to support a growing pipeline of large-scale, mission critical projects across the region.

Key responsibilities include:
- Developing and executing commissioning plans across large-scale projects
- Leading pre-functional and functional testing of electrical systems
- Coordinating with GC's, owners, and commissioning agents
