Commissioning Engineer

Commissioning Engineer
Peterborough (with UK travel) | Competitive salary + benefits

The Role
If you like your engineering with a bit of chaos, curiosity, and challenge — you’ll fit right in here.
We’re looking for a Commissioning Engineer who’s equally at home on the tools, the laptop, and on-site. This isn’t a desk job. You’ll be the one making sure process equipment actually does what it’s supposed to — troubleshooting, fine-tuning, and getting production lines up and running smoothly.

You’ll work closely with process and project teams, helping to commission, validate, and support automated systems across food, beverage, and manufacturing environments. It’s the kind of role where no two days look the same — and that’s exactly why you’ll love it.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Commissioning and testing process and control equipment on client sites.

• Diagnosing and resolving electrical, mechanical, and software issues.

• Supporting the setup, validation, and handover of process systems.

• Preparing and maintaining commissioning documentation.

• Carrying out process and H&S risk assessments.

• Providing technical support post-project, including maintenance and troubleshooting.

• Building strong relationships with clients and internal teams — because good communication fixes a lot of problems before tools do.

What You’ll Need

• An engineering qualification (City & Guilds, HNC, or Degree level).

• Hands-on experience commissioning or maintaining process or automation equipment.

• A solid understanding of instrumentation, controls, and process systems.

• A practical mindset — you solve problems, not talk about them.

• Willingness to travel and stay away when projects require it.

• A positive, can-do attitude and professional approach.

What You Might Not Like

• It’s hands-on and travel-heavy — hotels and early starts are part of the package.

• You’ll need to juggle multiple projects, deadlines, and clients — no hiding behind emails.

• You’ll often be the calm in someone else’s chaos.

Why It’s Worth It
You’ll join a tight-knit engineering team that values autonomy, technical curiosity, and getting things done right. Expect variety, freedom, and the satisfaction of seeing your work literally come to life on-site.

If you’re ready to take ownership, roll up your sleeves, and keep things running when it counts — let’s talk.
