commissioning jobs
Hays Energy provides commissioning jobs for engineers in all the key industrial sectors. These include Nuclear (Energy & Defence), Water (Utilities), Power Transmission & Distribution, Power Generation (includes power stations, wind turbines etc) and Petrochemical.
Commissioning engineers are an integral part of the project and commence work at the latter stages of the life cycle. Initially the project goes through the budgetary, feasibility, optioneering stage before consultancies are engaged in the design and detail design work.
Project responsibilities and qualifications of commissioning jobs
As soon as those designs are handed to the contractors to commence construction, that's when commissioning engineers become involved. Commissioning jobs entail the mechanical, electrical, chemical process as well as the control and instrumentation phase of the project.
Individuals who wish to pursue a career as a commissioning engineer will need a basic qualification such as a HND (Higher National Diploma) in their chosen discipline (Electrical, Mechanical etc) with clients often seeking degree qualified or engineers with past relevant experience. In certain cases, engineers who have served their apprenticeship and have relevant experience can also find permanent or contract employment in commissioning jobs.
