Testing & Commissioning Engineer

Testing & Commissioning Engineer

REH Airport Package — PMC

Role Purpose

The Testing & Commissioning Engineer provides PMC oversight for all testing and commissioning activities across the REH Airport Package. The role focuses on making sure systems are tested safely, work together as intended, are fully documented, meet contractual requirements, and are ready for operational handover. The Contractor remains responsible for execution, quality control, rectification, and the delivery of compliant test results.

Key Responsibilities

• Review the Contractor’s T&C plans, procedures, test scripts, ITPs, schedules, and turnover submissions, and provide clear, practical recommendations within delegated authority.

• Confirm that each system is ready for testing by checking approved designs and inspections, completed installations, permits, safety controls, calibrated equipment, and the availability of competent Contractor and OEM personnel.

• Monitor compliance with the Contract, approved documents, authority requirements, applicable standards, and OEM instructions. Witness and record pre-commissioning, functional, cause-and-effect, reliability, integrated, and operational tests.

• Coordinate across MEP, ELV, ICT, fire and life safety, BMS/SCADA, utilities, infrastructure, and key airport systems such as BHS, AGL, VDGS, FIDS, PA/VA, CCTV, access control, security screening, and structured cabling.

• Keep clear, traceable records of readiness, interfaces, testing, risks, constraints, failed tests, punch-list items, and close-out actions. Confirm that corrective work and retesting are complete before reporting an item as closed.

• Check that test and handover evidence is complete, including signed records, calibration certificates, as-built drawings, O&M manuals, asset and warranty data, training records, authority approvals, and turnover dossiers.

• Support progressive handover and operational readiness through operator training, simulations, and readiness trials, and promptly escalate unresolved technical, safety, programme, interface, or acceptance issues.

Key Deliverables

• Clear review comments and recommendations on the Contractor’s T&C Plan and related submissions.

• A maintained PMC T&C Master Tracker covering readiness, systems, interfaces, tests, risks, constraints, failed tests, punch items, and close-out status.

• An Integrated Systems Testing Matrix.

• A T&C Interface Matrix.

• Complete PMC witness and verification records.

• A Handover Evidence and Operational Readiness Checklist.

• A Final Commissioning Status and Acceptance Recommendation Report.

Reporting Outputs

• A weekly update on T&C progress, upcoming activities, readiness, and critical actions.

• A monthly T&C status report covering completion, pass/fail/retest results, risks, constraints, interfaces, and gaps in supporting evidence.

• Status reporting on integrated systems testing, handover, and operational readiness.

• A concise executive summary highlighting critical decisions and matters requiring escalation to Airport Package Management.

Reporting Line & Interfaces

• Report to the Airport Package Manager or the designated PMC T&C/Systems Lead, working closely with the relevant PMC disciplines.

• Coordinate through approved channels with the Contractor, Designers, Supervision Consultants, OEMs, Authorities, and the Airport Operator.

Authority & Accountability

• Raise observations and corrective-action requests when needed, and recommend that testing be postponed, rejected, or repeated if prerequisites or acceptance criteria have not been met.

• Final acceptance, along with approval of deviations, changes, or time and cost entitlements, remains with the authorized representatives. Nothing in this role reduces the Contractor’s responsibility for execution, quality, safety, coordination, rectification, or compliance.

Performance Measures

• Reviews are completed on time, and reporting is accurate and aligned with the approved programme and contractual milestones.

• Planned tests are completed with compliant, traceable evidence, and failures, defects, risks, and interface issues are closed promptly.

• Commissioning, training, handover, and readiness records are complete, and no system is recommended as ready without verified acceptance evidence.

Health, Safety & Regulatory Compliance

• Confirm that all testing and energization activities follow approved risk assessments, methods, permits, isolation procedures, emergency arrangements, and project HSE requirements.

• Track statutory inspections, authority approvals, and required certificates, and immediately escalate any unsafe or unauthorized testing, invalid calibration, or missing prerequisite.

Requirements

• At least 10 years of relevant T&C experience on major infrastructure, transportation, complex-building, or airport projects, including PMC or consultancy review of Contractor activities.

• Strong hands-on knowledge of MEP, ELV, ICT, BMS/SCADA, fire and life safety, controls, cause-and-effect testing, and integrated systems testing. Experience with airport systems, authority approvals, operational readiness, and phased handover is preferred.

• A sound working knowledge of applicable codes, authority requirements, commissioning standards, quality processes, document control, and safe systems of work, supported by strong coordination, evidence-review, reporting, and communication skills.

• Relevant professional registration or certification in commissioning, quality, safety, or project management is an advantage.
