Commissioning Engineer

Contract

Permanent

Location

Manchester, Manchester

Salary

£75,000

Location: Remote UK (national travel, North West base welcome)
Salary: £65,000 - £75,000
Contract: Permanent
Sector: Renewable energy / Solar PV

Why this role

This suits a strong Commissioning Engineer looking to own projects independently, or an Authorised Person ready for a senior engineering seat. Remote-first, nationwide variety, genuine ownership, and the backing of a large European group with a long pipeline.

About the role

EMBS is partnering with a growing UK renewable energy business that owns the full project lifecycle - design, build, commissioning and energisation - across solar PV and distributed generation projects nationwide. They're part of a larger European group with a strong pipeline and long-term project security.

This is the technical lead on site during the commissioning phase. You'll own the DNO witness test process end-to-end, run string and inverter commissioning, HV/LV cable and transformer tests, protection relay testing and SCADA validation. When something goes wrong on site, you diagnose and fix it - not escalate and wait.

What you'll do

  • Lead on-site commissioning across UK solar PV projects - string testing, inverter commissioning, HV/LV cable and transformer tests, protection relay testing, SCADA validation
  • Coordinate directly with DNOs and ICPs for energisation and G99 witness tests
  • Diagnose and resolve communication faults, inverter trips and protection issues on site
  • Produce commissioning documentation, test reports, redlines and handover packs through PAC and FAC milestones

What we're looking for

  • Proven commissioning experience on UK solar PV, renewables or distributed generation - or a strong electrical commissioning background with appetite to move into solar
  • G99 and G100 experience is essential, comfortable running DNO witness tests end-to-end
  • HV experience up to 132kV (extra-high voltage not required)
  • Able to interpret SLDs, I/O lists, functional diagrams and protection settings
  • Clear communicator across DNOs, ICPs, EPCs, OEMs and internal teams

Nice to have: HV authorisation, OMICRON / Megger familiarity, hybrid PV+BESS commissioning, SCADA / networking exposure.

Note: UK sponsorship is not available for this role - applicants must have the right to work in the UK.
