• Conduct site assessments and prepare detailed reports on installation progress.
• Provide multifunctional technical support during installation and commissioning phases.
• Provide technical support and guidance to team members and stakeholders.
• Document all processes and maintain accurate records of project activities.

• Support the safe installation and commissioning of machinery in line with applicable regulations, including the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) and UK Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations.
• Ensure that machinery is installed in accordance with design specifications, with all safety systems, guarding, and interlocks correctly implemented.
• Assist in verifying and validating safety functions during commissioning, including emergency stops, safety circuits, and protective devices.
• Identify and report any non-compliance or safety risks observed on-site, supporting corrective actions where required.
• Contribute to commissioning documentation, test records, and installation reports to support CE marking and technical file requirements.
• Be aware of and highlight any substantial modifications made during installation that may impact compliance or require re-certification.

• Minimum of 5 years’ experience in delivering turnkey machinery/equipment projects
• Ideally worked on project delivery from OEM’s.
• Multilingual, ideally fluent in English and Polish.
