If commissioning exposes a weak link, then your leadership turns it into safer, more reliable industrial performance.
Is this you?
When commissioning challenges put safety or delivery at risk, you respond with structured thinking and decisive leadership. You set high technical standards, communicate clearly, stay commercially alert, coach specialists, challenge assumptions and turn root-cause findings into practical, lasting improvements.What you’ll be doing (and why you’ll enjoy it)
Overseeing the full E&I lifecycle, you will guide design, testing, installation, commissioning, maintenance and troubleshooting across complex industrial systems. You will lead engineers and technicians, manage project plans, budgets and resources, and coordinate with technical, finance, research and client stakeholders. Your remit also includes quality audits, risk assessments, documentation, compliance and improvement initiatives that strengthen safety, efficiency and system performance.Where you’ll be doing it
At the centre of an industrial engineering organisation, this head office function works across electrical systems, instrumentation, automation and ICT. The environment is grounded in technical rigour, client service, safety and quality, with direct access to executive leadership and responsibility for a multidisciplinary engineering department.What you’ll need
A Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering and at least 10 years of electrical and instrumentation engineering experience are essential, including three years in management. You will need proven project and team leadership, CAD proficiency, and strong knowledge of power systems, motor control, PLCs, DCS, SCADA, industrial networks and process instrumentation. Registration with the relevant professional engineering body is highly desirable, while a relevant Master’s degree is advantageous.What you’ll get
