The Role

As a Commissioning Lead, you will play a critical role in bringing Aquatec's water and wastewater projects to life. You'll plan, coordinate and execute all commissioning and quality assurance activities, ensuring works are completed to specification and handed over smoothly to our clients. From validating QA records to overseeing pre-commissioning, live testing and process proving, you'll be at the forefront of project delivery, safeguarding compliance and minimising risk.

This role suits a technically minded professional who thrives in complex project environments. You'll bring a structured approach, strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple stakeholders under pressure. In return, you'll gain exposure to major infrastructure projects and join a team driven by collaboration, innovation, and excellence.

Key responsibilities include, but aren't limited to:

• Develop, implement and maintain detailed commissioning plans aligned to project schedules.
• Manage pre-commissioning and commissioning activities across mechanical, electrical and SCADA systems, including energisation and functional testing.
• Collate, review and validate QA records (ITPs, FAT/SAT results, test sheets) prior to commissioning, ensuring compliance with specifications.
• Coordinate inspections, witness testing and client approvals, facilitating smooth and transparent handovers.
• Lead the preparation of commissioning reports and O&M documentation, including as-builts and red-line mark-ups.
• Collaborate with project teams, subcontractors, and client representatives to resolve technical, quality or sequencing issues.

About You

You are a commissioning and QA professional with proven experience delivering quality outcomes on infrastructure projects. With a background in D&C environments, you are comfortable managing documentation, testing and stakeholder expectations under tight deadlines. Your communication skills, technical knowledge and focus on compliance ensure you can deliver projects safely, effectively and to the highest standard.

To be successful in this role, you will have:

• 5+ years' commissioning and QA experience in infrastructure D&C projects (pump stations, odour control, or chemical dosing systems highly regarded).
• Demonstrated ability to manage ITPs, QA records and pre-commissioning processes through to handover.
• Strong knowledge of systems integration, testing and commissioning methodology.
• Tertiary engineering qualifications (electrical or chemical) highly regarded, plus a Construction White Card and driver's licence.
• Excellent stakeholder engagement, communication and problem-solving skills, with the ability to coordinate across multiple disciplines.
• A detail-focused, organised and collaborative approach, balancing technical requirements with client expectations.

At Aquatec, you'll be part of a collaborative and high-performing team delivering critical water and wastewater infrastructure. This role offers the opportunity to contribute directly to project success by driving quality, compliance and risk-managed commissioning outcomes.
