Who We Are
Thermo Systems is a global, full-service control systems integration partner delivering premier class automation solutions across the Energy, Life Sciences, and Mission Critical markets.
Guided by The Thermo Way, we are unified, dynamic, and committed to delivering excellence. Our culture is grounded in three core principles:
- Employee Success – investing in our people and their growth
- Customer Success – delivering reliable, high-quality solutions
- Financial Strength – operating with discipline and long-term focus
We believe strong teams, trusted partnerships, and technical excellence drive sustainable success.
The Opportunity
The Associate Commissioning Manager operates in two modes depending on project scale and complexity. On limited-scope projects, the Associate CXM functions as the independent commissioning lead, owning delivery of the technical scope, coordinating with the Project Manager and Site Manager, and serving as Thermo Systems' primary technical contact with the customer. On larger or more complex projects, the Associate CXM works under the direction of a CX Manager or Senior CX Manager, contributing to field execution, technical coordination, and commissioning documentation as part of a broader team.
This role is designed for technically credentialed professionals ready to take on direct commissioning responsibility while continuing to develop the project leadership, customer management, and cross-functional coordination skills required at the CX Manager level.
What You’ll Do
Technical Scope Ownership & Engineering Coordination:
- Own technical scope delivery on limited-scope projects; support senior CXM staff on larger engagements.
- Coordinate with engineering teams to document and resolve technical issues appropriate to project role.
- Ensure deliverables, submittals, and commissioning documentation are accurate and contract-compliant.
Commissioning & Start-Up Leadership:
- Lead field commissioning independently on limited-scope projects, from pre-functional checks through acceptance.
- Execute assigned tasks under senior CXM direction on larger projects, adhering to established schedules and standards.
- Oversee and execute FAT/SAT plans on limited-scope work; support plan execution as directed on larger projects.
