Centrax Gas Turbines is a UK manufacturer of industrial gas turbine generator sets, supplying reliable power solutions to global, energy-intensive sectors. They also provide installation, commissioning, and long-term maintenance to ensure ongoing performance and reliability.
The Challenge
Centrax required a highly skilled Project Manager/Commissioning Engineer to support UK and international projects. The role required expertise in gas turbines, auxiliary systems, and commissioning, along with strong communication skills and the flexibility to travel.
Without this capability in-house, critical project timelines were at risk, especially on high-value sites where delays could lead to significant costs.
The Solution
Metalis collaborated with Centrax’s project team to fully understand the brief and quickly sourced a proven contractor with extensive experience in gas turbine commissioning and client-facing project delivery.
Key contributions included:
End-to-end commissioning: Managing setup, testing, performance checks, and final sign-off.
Project coordination: Overseeing site logistics, safety, and on-the-ground decisions across multiple locations.
Technical documentation: Producing detailed reports and risk assessments in line with Centrax standards.
Client liaison: Ensuring smooth communication between Centrax and end users for professional project delivery.
Global mobility: Ready availability for overseas travel to maintain project continuity.
The Outcome
Avoided delays: The contractor integrated quickly, maintaining progress on key client projects.
Increased capacity: Enabled Centrax to take on more work without overstretching internal teams.
Cost-effective: Met peak demand without the long-term cost of additional hires.
Consistent quality: Maintained Centrax’s technical and professional standards across all sites.
Stronger partnership: Reinforced Metalis’s role as a trusted recruitment partner in the power generation sector.
