Principal Accountabilities:

People:

1.       Manage Commissioning Execution Team member’s deployment, performance and development.

2.       Contribute to directorate-wide decision making in relation to the execution of commissioning activities.

3.       Liaise with asset operations organisation(s) to ensure alignment on CSU plans and procedures and to secure their direct input / support for related activities.

4.       Contribute to the health and ongoing advancement of the [Client] OR and Commissioning Community of Practice.

 

Process:

1.       Provide support (input, review and endorsement), especially for Detailed Design phase.

2.       Manage commissioning execution activities in accordance with project delivery, HSE and AI-PSM requirements and standards.

3.       Actively pursue simplification, standardisation and replication of associated methods and deliverables particularly in relation to ‘typical’ and ‘routine’ project scopes.

4.       Incorporate and implement Flawless Project Delivery principles in all projects.

 

Technology (Systems and Tools):

1.       Ensure effective team use of:

­              - Project Document Management System / Repositories.

­              - Project Integrated Schedule

­              - Project Completions Management System (CMS) and ensure timely availability of project database and accurate data entry.

­              - [Client] Commissioning information repositories, including identification and selection of materials for inclusion as guidance,                         templates, checklists and best practice examples.

­              - Telecommunications (e.g. video-conferencing).

​

Challenges:

1. The Commissioning Execution Team Lead will have a single primary ‘headquarters’ at an established interior location whilst individual team members may need to be deployed throughout the directorate’s locations depending on where project activities are being conducted. In order to maintain proper management oversight and control of the people and activities, the Commissioning Execution Team Lead will be required to be a) suitably mobile and flexible, and b) utilise a broad range of engagement skills and communication technologies.

2. Project activity levels will naturally fluctuate and therefore have an effect on Commissioning Execution Team resourcing levels. Considerable use of contractors to supplement commissioning activities will therefore be required and which necessitates thorough but pragmatic planning and decision making.

3. Historic performance in delivering timely, safe and efficient start up, and sustainable operation, of new or modified assets has not always been without problems. Effective application of the ‘project-to-asset transfer’ process in particular is seen as a key enabler for improvement, but which demands excellence in planning, coordination and interface / stakeholder management.
