We are hiring a Commissioning Program Developer, Global to define and operate the global commissioning framework that makes that approach operationally real: the standards, requirements, methods, readiness gates, digital workflows, and feedback loops that turn commissioning from a project-specific activity into a scalable, repeatable capability. This is a hands-on program development role for someone who combines deep commissioning and mission-critical delivery experience with the ability to build practical standards, influence cross-functional partners, and advance Commissioning as Code - translating repeatable commissioning logic, test procedures, evidence requirements, data structures, and reporting workflows into digital, automated, and scalable methods of execution. What You Will Own You will own the commissioning capability framework for our global product platform: the standards, requirements, methods, governance processes, digital workflows, and measures that make commissioning more repeatable, measurable, and scalable. Your work enables commissioning requirements to be embedded earlier in design, procurement, manufacturing, construction, and operational readiness, without taking project-level execution away from regional delivery teams. What You Will Do * Define and maintain global commissioning standards, requirements, methodologies, templates, readiness gates, and governance processes. * Develop scalable commissioning approaches that can be consistently applied across regions, project types, and standardized infrastructure solutions. * Translate business, customer, operational, engineering, and delivery requirements into practical commissioning strategies and execution frameworks. * Partner with engineering, procurement, construction, manufacturing, supply chain, operations, automation, and regional delivery teams to embed commissioning requirements earlier in the project lifecycle. * Develop strategies to move appropriate testing and validation activities upstream into factory, prefabrication, modular assembly, supplier, off-site, or near-site environments. * Establish requirements for factory acceptance testing, supplier readiness, equipment validation, integrated system verification, and modular commissioning. * Develop and advance Commissioning as Code by converting repeatable commissioning logic, procedures, checks, evidence requirements, and reporting needs into structured, digital, and where possible automated workflows. * Partner with controls, automation, digital infrastructure, engineering, and operations teams to support automated testing, telemetry integration, data-driven validation, evidence management, and readiness reporting. * Define commissioning data structures, reporting requirements, and analytics frameworks that support lessons learned, performance benchmarking, supplier quality insight, and long-term operational improvement. * Provide training, implementation guidance, governance support, and adoption support for regional delivery and commissioning teams. What Success Looks Like * A global commissioning framework established, governed, and actively used across regions and project types. * Commissioning requirements embedded earlier in the delivery lifecycle, with clear readiness gates before site execution risk materializes. * Increased use of factory, supplier, off-site, near-site, and modular validation where appropriate. * Commissioning as Code principles established, with repeatable procedures translated into structured workflows, data, automated checks, and traceable evidence capture. * Reduced commissioning schedule risk, field labor intensity, rework, duplicated testing, and execution variability. * Commissioning KPIs and reporting frameworks in place to measure readiness, quality, productivity, schedule impact, and continuous improvement. * Lessons learned, commissioning data, supplier performance, and operational feedback captured and used to improve future standards and delivery methods. ## Related Videos - [Unlocking the potential of Digital & IT at Vodafone](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/602-unlocking-the-potential-of-digital-it-at-vodafone) - [AI in Regulated Industry - Validating AI-Enabled Products with PLM and Digital Twins](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2065-ai-in-regulated-industry-validating-ai-enabled-products-with-plm-and-digital-twins) - [The Sustainability Race: AI's Promises, Pitfalls and Potential](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100155-the-sustainability-race-ai-s-promises-pitfalls-and-potential) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Every CEO needs a digital twin to understand the scope of generative AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1006-every-ceo-needs-a-digital-twin-to-understand-the-scope-of-generative-ai) - [Building the Nervous System of AI - Michael Kagan (NVIDIA)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2133-building-the-nervous-system-of-ai-michael-kagan-nvidia) ## Related Articles - [What Makes WeAreDevelopers World Congress Different From Every Other Tech Event?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/701-what-makes-wearedevelopers-world-congress-different-from-every-other-tech-event) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Why Attend a Developer Event in 2026?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/688-why-attend-a-developer-event-in-2026)
