Tasks:

- Write and execute commissioning procedures for tests and installations
- Initiate, review and coordinate modifications to contract, specifications & plans throughout the test process
- Lead and manage tests within the Engineering Development Laboratory, working to budget and timescale
- Analyze collected data and results, prepare and issue subsequent relevant memos, analysis, reports, recommendations
