Commissioning Engineer

Commissioning Engineer

Skytree

Almere, Netherlands

Your role

As a Commissioning Engineer, you will be a vital member of the Product, Design, and Development team (Technology organization), serving as the bridge between internal engineering and successful field deployment. Operating with a high level of autonomy, you will lead both internal Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) and on-site Site Acceptance Tests (SAT), ensuring our CO2 capture units meet rigorous performance and safety standards. While this position involves periodical travel to project sites, you will be equally rooted in the development cycle, influencing design for testability to ensure seamless transitions from lab to field.

All of this takes place within the context of industrialising our very first commercial product, which will be brought to the market throughout this year. This comes with the unique opportunity to have a direct impact on the success of Skytree. Curious? Then read along!

You’ll make an impact by

• Leading Acceptance Testing (FAT/SAT): Managing the full lifecycle of acceptance testing, from conducting Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) at manufacturing sites to performing Site Acceptance Tests (SAT) during field activation;
• Interpreting Technical Diagrams: Applying deep knowledge of electrical diagrams and P&IDs to verify internal wiring, troubleshoot system issues, and certify installations both in-house and in the field;
• PLC & Software Coordination: Partnering with software and PLC developers to scale sensors, calibrate instrumentation, and ensure logic alignment during all phases of verification;
• On-site Deployment Oversight: Providing technical leadership during the installation and activation of industrial projects, ensuring systems operate seamlessly in diverse client environments;
• Field & Quality Documentation: Creating professional commissioning reports, documenting 'as-built' status for system handover, and conducting quality investigations (including 8D reports) to drive continuous improvement.

What we’re looking for

• Educational Background: A degree in Electrical, Mechanical or Mechatronics Engineering;
• Proven Experience: 4+ years of relevant experience in commissioning industrial projects. You bring the expertise to do commissioning on your own from day one;
• Technical Proficiency: A strong ability to understand electrical diagrams and a proven track record of coordinating with PLC developers for integrated system verification;
• Technical Skills: Hands-on experience working with LV power (400V AC) and the capability to design and execute complex product test setups;
• Travel & Mobility: Possession of a valid driver’s license and a willingness to travel to client and project locations periodically as required for commissioning phases;
• Communication: Professional communication skills in English; ability to manage stakeholder relationships and provide technical input in cross-functional teams both within the company as well as customer-facing;
• Attributes: A collaborative mindset combined with high autonomy and analytical problem-solving abilities.
