Project Commissioning Engineer E&I

Responsibilities

• Report directly to the Project Manager and support the day-to-day execution of the project, with a primary focus on construction completion, system handover, and commissioning readiness.
• Coordinate and drive the handover of systems and subsystems from construction to commissioning, ensuring that all required activities, documentation, and acceptance criteria are completed in line with project priorities and schedule.
• Monitor construction progress and system completion status, identifying gaps and outstanding activities that could impact handover and commissioning milestones.
• Coordinate, track, and drive the closure of punch-list items, ensuring that outstanding work is prioritized and resolved in accordance with agreed handover requirements.
• Ensure the timely preparation, review, and completion of system handover dossiers, including inspection and test records, completion certificates, test reports, and other required quality documentation.
• Work closely with construction teams, commissioning teams, EPC/EPCM contractors, vendors, and subcontractors to resolve technical issues and remove obstacles to system completion and handover.
• Coordinate construction completion checks, inspections, testing activities, and system walkdowns to verify readiness for handover to commissioning.
• Ensure that systems are handed over in accordance with approved procedures, project specifications, quality requirements, and applicable safety standards.
• Monitor commissioning readiness and ensure that prerequisites for commissioning activities are identified, tracked, and completed on time.
• Coordinate interfaces between construction, engineering, quality, HSE, commissioning, and document control to ensure a smooth transition from construction completion to commissioning execution.
• Follow up on outstanding technical queries, design changes, site modifications, and as-built documentation to ensure that all changes are properly approved, recorded, and incorporated into the final handover documentation.
• Maintain visibility of system completion progress, handover status, punch-list closure, and documentation readiness, reporting delays, risks, and deviations to the Project Manager.
• Support the Project Manager in resolving execution issues, coordinating priorities across disciplines, and ensuring alignment with overall project milestones, cost, quality, and safety objectives.
• Deputise for the Project Manager when required, supporting coordination and decision-making across construction, completion, and commissioning activities.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, Chemical Engineering, or an equivalent engineering discipline.
• 5–10 years of relevant experience in construction engineering, construction coordination, system completion, commissioning, or project execution.
• Proven experience on large-scale EPC or EPCM projects, preferably within the oil & gas, petrochemical, or process industries.
• Demonstrable experience coordinating construction completion, system handover, punch-list management, and commissioning readiness.
• Good understanding of systemisation, mechanical completion, inspection and testing requirements, and the transition from construction to commissioning.
• Experience preparing, reviewing, and coordinating handover dossiers, completion records, test documentation, and as-built documentation.
• Proven ability to coordinate multidisciplinary teams, contractors, vendors, and other project stakeholders to drive system completion and resolve outstanding issues.
• Strong understanding of project execution processes, construction quality requirements, and the documentation required for formal system acceptance and handover.
• Experience using system completion or commissioning management tools is an advantage.
• Strong organizational, communication, and coordination skills, with a proactive, hands-on approach to resolving issues and driving progress.
• Comfortable working in a complex, schedule-driven industrial project environment, with a strong focus on safety, quality, and meeting handover milestones.
