LEAD OFFSHORE CONSTRUCTION ENGINEER

Start-Up Phase

• Assist OCM in preparing offshore project deliverables and attending project kick-off and strategy meetings

• Support development of offshore execution plans, construction schedules, and techno-commercial analyses, considering project milestones and barge availability
  

All Project Phases

• Assist OCM in preparing construction aids (load register), marine spread requirements, pipe coating scope, and monitor fabrication/pipe coating progress
• Review engineering documents, drawings, and analyses from a constructability perspective
• Support preparation of detailed scopes, schedules, and interface/bridging documents for offshore subcontracted works (excluding diving and NDT), and coordinate technical and commercial evaluations
• Act as focal point for subcontractor coordination when assigned, monitoring progress and performance
• Support issuance of Purchase Requisitions for offshore materials not covered by engineering and follow up with procurement on ordering and delivery
• Coordinate offshore scope activities with all internal departments
• Attend methods and constructability meetings and review installation procedures, anchor patterns, and drawings
• Assist in technical evaluation, expediting, receipt, and MRV approval of offshore materials
• Provide input to weekly and monthly reports and attend client meetings as required
• Support studies for changes in offshore execution plans, including preparation of bridging documents, micro-schedules, and method statements
• Liaise with third-party agencies and marine warranty surveyors on marine and construction matters
• Attend weekly progress meetings with VPOO/OCM and highlight issues and risks
• Ensure implementation of the project safety plan, company HSEMS, and quality standards
• Capture lessons learned and best practices and participate in quality audits and closeout actions
• Initiate offshore variation orders/claims, compile technical inputs, and support assignment of offshore durations
• Assist in reviewing subcontractor invoices and provide clarifications to finance

• Prepare and coordinate mobilization plans and support mobilization meetings with marine and field teams
  

Pre-Offshore Phase

• Prepare the Risk Assessment Register, attend RA meetings, and circulate consolidated comments to the client and internal stakeholders
• Prepare job cards for offshore hook-up works and develop detailed micro-schedules and manpower histograms for shutdown activities
• Prepare JUB specifications for hired marine spread in line with CHOD requirements
• Coordinate with OPE to ensure readiness and mobilization of all installation aids
• Ensure timely pre-installation/load-out activities and availability of latest approved offshore documentation onboard.

Offshore Execution Phase

• Assist in updating offshore schedules based on progress and resource availability and propose recovery measures for delays
• Support coordination of subcontractor mobilization/demobilization and performance evaluation
• Monitor daily offshore operations, attend daily meetings, and coordinate closely with clients, marine, and field teams
• Conduct HSE audits and safety tours on offshore spreads
• Interface with project and yard construction teams to maintain load-out dates and offshore continuity
• Conduct joint walk-throughs on fabricated structures to avoid offshore carry-over
• For hook-up scope, coordinate with E&I, commissioning, and project teams to ensure JUB efficiency and compliance with CHOD durations, reporting potential delays in advance

Close-Out Phase

• Assist in preparation of offshore final documentation and project close-out reports
• Review contract documents and drawings to identify constructability issues and variation requirements
• Support Construction Managers in directing offshore activities, ensuring resource availability, safety compliance, and adherence to contract and ISO requirements
• Assist in schedule adjustments to manage changes, delays, and contingencies while controlling costs
