Description:

Role Objective

Ensure the safe, compliant, and high-quality pre-assembly, testing, and commissioning of Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) for reliable long-term operation and handover to Generation. Act as in situ pre-assembly and offshore WTG technical and quality authority, providing fact-based insight into WTG readiness, risks, and system integrity, while promoting a strong safety culture and close collaboration with contractors, engineering, commissioning and asset stakeholders

Responsibilities

Represent as the WTG commissioning authority in-situ, ensuring WTG's meet contractual, technical, and TSA employer requirements prior to Take Over Certificate (ToC) and handover to Generation.

Lead by example in safety, quality, and professionalism, acting as a visible role model for contractors and personnel.

Maintain continuous oversight of WTG pre-assembly, testing, and commissioning activities pre-assembly and offshore, with focus on Critical-to-Quality (CtQ), Critical-to-Functionality (CtF) and Critical-to-Interfaces (CtI) deliverables.

Provide observation-based feedback and reporting on the WTG and other Power Generation (Foundations, Array Cables, SCADA, OT Security, Protection) interfaces, readiness, risks, knock-on impacts, snags and defects to WTG Commissioning Management and back-office functions

Tasks

Utilize Employer provided reporting-, daily progress and risk management-tools.

Supervise, verify and witness WTG integrity from a Critical To Power Management (CTPM) perspective on first article inspection, pre-assembly and offshore activities; electrical works, and system integration/-interfaces, including mechanical, electrical, control, communication, and safety systems.

Review and witness WTG-related mechanical and electrical readiness ensuring compliance with specifications and acceptance criteria.

Verify mechanical completion and commissioning readiness of individual WTGs and associated turbine systems at pre-assembly and offshore.

If applicable, execute LV and HV Authorised Person duties where appointed, ensuring electrical safety, LOTO, and controlled energisation of WTG systems.

Monitor, report and follow up on Non-Compliance Reports (NCR's), punches, retrofits and defects, ensuring proper root cause understanding and where possible closure before handover.

Track progress of WTG Commissioning Works and interfaces between turbine OEM, fabrication, pre-assembly, installation contractors, commissioning teams, and engineering.

Ensure everyone is working toward same documentation revision and have access to OEMs quality acceptance criteria, risk assessment, work instruction and energy isolation procedure

Contribute to lessons learned and continuous improvement of CTPM, specifically targeting WTG commissioning practices and other Power Generation interfaces.

Witness 240h reliability test runs (RTR), review Commissioning Completion Certificate (CCC) and WTG Commissioning documentation for compliance with contractual and asset requirements for subsequent handover to Generation,

Deliverables

Completed and verified WTG Commissioning Documentation Register (CDR) for final transfer

Accurate daily and system-level progress reporting (e.g. DPR, Lautec, EnSync).

Report punches and NCRs related to WTG systems (e.g. Aconex Field).

Documented lessons learned and improvement proposals (e.g. Synergi, CTPM).

Decision Authority

Authority to accept or reject pre-assembly, testing, and commissioning activities based on contractual requirements, technical specifications, and defined acceptance criteria.

Authority to stop work in case of unsafe conditions or critical quality deviations impacting WTG integrity and/or personnel safety

Qualifications & Requirements

Technical (electrical or mechanical) education or equivalent technical background with strong WTG system knowledge.

Proven experience in WTG pre-assembly FAI and pre-commissioning, offshore commissioning or similar industries, including commissioning of electrical, mechanical, and control systems.

Solid understanding of SCADA, turbine control systems, and electrical safety.

GWO certifications (Basic Safety Training, CoHE, Enhanced First Aid and HV where applicable).

OGUK Medical including Chester Step depends on country requirement.

Strong communication, reporting and documentation skills, English Advanced required, and ability to challenge contractors constructively

Desirable

Prior experience with WTG handovers to Operations / Generation.

HV Authorized Person within the industry or GWO HV Operation training Certificate
