About This Job


Job Description Summary

GE Vernova’s Onshore Wind business is rapidly expanding, and we are building a high-performing team of Lead Commissioners and Commissioning Specialists to support our growing project portfolio across North America. As part of this growth, we are seeking a qualified and committed Commissioning Manager (CM) to join our dynamic team and help lead commissioning efforts on complex wind projects.

The Commissioning Manager is a critical member of the NAM Projects Commissioning Management Team and plays a key leadership role when specialized scopes require focused oversight and execution. This role manages commissioning as a "project within the project," driving accountability, coordination, and operational excellence throughout the entire site lifecycle—from mobilization through final commissioning.

The Commissioning Manager will be responsible for oversight of all commissioning activities on customer sites, ensuring execution aligns with project timelines, safety standards, quality requirements, and customer expectations. This role operates with a level of autonomy while adhering to GE Vernova's policies and performance metrics.

Identify and manage project-specific risks and opportunities related to the commissioning scope.
Drive continuous improvement in commissioning processes, including cost control, scheduling, and safety.
Ensure technical deviations are properly documented with Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) and managed through standard procedures.

Encourage team participation in safety programs and continuous improvement initiatives aimed at reducing incidents and improving site culture.
Train and mentor site teams on safe work practices, emergency response, and regulatory compliance.
Participate actively in emergency response and safety drills.
