Team Leadership & Talent Development

  • Commissioning Team Management — Lead multi‑disciplinary commissioning managers, engineers, and field technicians.
  • Build organizational capability through training, mentorship, and performance management.
  • Oversee contractor and vendor commissioning teams to ensure alignment with project objectives.

  • Serve as the executive point of contact for clients, regulators, and senior leadership.
  • Present commissioning progress, risks, and readiness status to executive committees.

Operational Excellence & Continuous Improvement

  • Process Optimization — Implement best practices, digital tools, and performance metrics to improve commissioning efficiency.
  • Drive lessons‑learned programs and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Ensure documentation, turnover packages, and operational readiness deliverables meet quality standards.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, or related).
  • Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) designation preferred.
  • Advanced certifications in commissioning, project management, or asset management are an asset.
  • 12–20+ years of commissioning experience in energy, utilities, industrial, infrastructure, or large‑scale capital projects.
  • Proven leadership of commissioning programs exceeding $100M+ in project value.
  • Demonstrated success managing multi‑disciplinary teams and complex stakeholder environments.
