Engineering Manager (Nuclear - Clyde)

Engineering Manager (Nuclear - Clyde)
Компания: Morgan Sindall Infrastructure
Город: Glasgow
**Engineering Manager**
Glasgow, UK
**Talented people are the key to our success.**
This is a rare opportunity to establish and lead the commissioning capability across the Clyde Programme from the ground up. Reporting directly to Morgan Sindall's Head of Engineering, you will define the commissioning strategy, governance, standards, processes and ways of working that will be embedded across a major defence infrastructure programme.
Rather than inheriting an established system, you will create a sustainable, repeatable commissioning framework that integrates commissioning requirements from concept and design through construction, testing, handover and entry into service. Your work will leave a lasting legacy, providing the blueprint for commissioning delivery across current and future Clyde projects.
We are seeking an experienced Engineering Manager (Commissioning) with significant nuclear-sector commissioning expertise and a passion for building capability, developing teams and driving excellence within highly regulated environments.
**The Role**
As Engineering Manager (Commissioning), you will establish and lead a programme-wide commissioning function, ensuring commissioning principles are embedded from the earliest stages of project development through to final handover.
You will lead the recruitment, development and management of the commissioning team while creating robust governance arrangements, commissioning methodologies and assurance processes that support safe and effective project delivery.
Working collaboratively with Engineering, Construction, Quality, Safety Case, Technical Assurance and Operations teams, you will ensure commissioning is fully integrated throughout the asset lifecycle, supporting the successful delivery of complex nuclear infrastructure projects.

* Drive continuous improvement through lessons learned and best practice implementation.
* Provide commissioning leadership across the programme and act as the subject matter expert for commissioning excellence.
**Commissioning Delivery**
* Ensure commissioning requirements are identified early and incorporated into design development.
* Promote design for commissionability, testability, maintainability, access, isolation and safe introduction of energy.
* Define systemisation approaches, commissioning boundaries, acceptance criteria, hold points and commissioning sequences.
* Lead commissioning readiness reviews and authorise progression into testing and commissioning activities.
* Define and oversee FAT, SAT, pre-commissioning, functional testing and integrated systems testing requirements.
* Coordinate multidisciplinary commissioning activities across mechanical, electrical, C&I, building services and infrastructure systems.
* Ensure the safe, efficient and compliant progression of systems through commissioning and handover.
**Stakeholder & Interface Management**
* Manage commissioning interfaces across Engineering, Construction, Quality, Technical Assurance, Configuration Management and Safety Case functions.
* Engage with clients, operators, designers, suppliers, subcontractors and specialist commissioning organisations.
* Support programme delivery through proactive management of commissioning risks, constraints, dependencies and interfaces.
* Act as a key point of contact for commissioning matters within the operational and safety-critical Clyde environment.
**Quality, Governance & Assurance**
* Establish commissioning governance arrangements, procedures and controls.
* Ensure commissioning evidence and records are captured, controlled and progressively accepted throughout delivery.
* Maintain robust arrangements for defects management, punch lists and turnover documentation.
