Gas Commissioning Senior Manager
About The Position
The Gas Commissioning Senior Manager is a high-level technical leader responsible for defining and executing the end-to-end commissioning strategy across a diverse fleet of power generation assets, including large-scale reciprocating engine plants and gas turbine installations. This role serves as the primary technical authority for gas-fired assets during the transition from engineering through commissioning and into operations. A critical component of this role is upstream influence, ensuring that EPC exhibits, modular designs, and multi-OEM system architectures are optimized for successful field execution, performance validation, and long-term reliability. This role initially reports to the Head of O&M and will transition to report to the Head of Commissioning and Reliability as the organization evolves.
Requirements

- Demonstrated experience reviewing and refining EPC technical exhibits and performance testing protocols for complex, multi-asset projects.
- Strong ability to lead third-party teams while providing technical guidance and challenge to upstream engineering and design decisions.
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering.
Responsibilities
- Lead the review and refinement of EPC contract exhibits related to commissioning, performance testing, and mechanical completion, ensuring commissioning-by-phase requirements are clearly defined.
- Participate in early-stage engineering design reviews to ensure modular engine pods and turbine enclosures include the instrumentation required for parallel commissioning.
- Provide technical guidance on integration challenges across multiple OEM platforms, including reciprocating engines and gas turbines.
- Direct and manage third-party commissioning teams, defining scope, verifying progress, and ensuring alignment with project schedules.
- Serve as the primary interface with OEM technical representatives to ensure systems meet performance, heat rate, and emissions guarantees.
- Ensure full execution of commissioning protocols, from point-to-point checks through full-load and grid compliance testing.
- Coordinate fuel infrastructure readiness, including pipeline lateral integration and first gas events, ensuring gas quality and pressure meet system requirements.
- Oversee validation of plant-wide control systems, including master plant controllers and hybrid SCADA environments integrating generation and storage assets.
- Ensure capture of high-quality commissioning data, including performance curves and baseline operating profiles, to support long-term reliability programs.
- Lead the technical transition to operations teams, ensuring complete and accurate transfer of documentation, test results, and system configurations.
