The Commissioning Engineer (Wind & BESS) Market
Commissioning is the point at which a renewable asset stops being a construction project and starts being a generator, and it is the last place on the programme where time can be lost that nothing downstream recovers. The work is electrical and procedural in roughly equal measure: HV switching, protection testing, SCADA point-to-point, grid code compliance and the witnessed tests the connection agreement requires. Battery storage is the scarcer half of this market — BESS commissioning carries thermal and fire safety cases that wind does not, and the population that has genuinely done it is small and recent. ARG establishes the technology, the voltage level and the specific authorisation a candidate holds, because none of the three is interchangeable.
Typical Qualifications & Tickets
- Degree or HND in electrical engineering
- HV switching authorisation
- GWO Basic Safety and Technical Training for wind
- SCADA and protection testing
- Grid code compliance testing

Is wind commissioning the same as BESS commissioning?
No. Both need HV competence and SCADA testing, but battery storage brings thermal management, fire safety cases and a different grid-compliance regime, and the people who have genuinely commissioned storage are a small and recent population. Treating the two as one pool is why BESS commissioning vacancies sit open.
What does a renewables Commissioning Engineer earn in the UK?
Published market guidance puts a UK renewables commissioning engineer at £40,000 to £70,000, covering both wind and battery storage. Battery storage experience sits at the upper end because the pool is smaller. That is published market guidance compiled from UK sources, not a quotation and not Andrews Recruitment Group placement data.
What authorisation does a Commissioning Engineer need?
It depends on the voltage and the asset owner, and it is not transferable: an authorisation is issued by a specific organisation for specific equipment, so an engineer authorised on one network is not automatically authorised on another. ARG asks what level a candidate holds, who issued it and on what equipment, before putting them forward.
