Deliver regular updates to the Operational Readiness Manager, achieving key milestones
Ensure robust safety practices for all test and commissioning activities
Witness FAT, SAT, and Setting to Work (STW) activities in both active and inactive environments
Resolve test failures and manage change to commissioning schedules, resources, and forecasts
Drive compliance with LC21 (Commissioning) and associated governance requirements
Lead integration of commissioning with the overall programme delivery strategy
✅ We’re Looking For Someone With:
Demonstrable experience developing commissioning and test strategies
Strong knowledge of V&V methodology (especially the V model)
Solid background in nuclear or other highly regulated sectors
Deep understanding of commissioning procedures, LC21, and site safety protocols
Excellent project delivery experience—ideally within nuclear, defence, or similarly complex environments
Confident communicator, both written and verbal, with experience working across cross-discipline teams and with clients
High-level organisational and project management skills
Qualifications & Clearance Required:
