Lead Construction Engineer (Offshore Platform)

Exposure to Offshore Platforms Projects as part of the experience is preferred 

Familiarity with ADNOC Standards & Procedures will be an added advantage   

Lead full-cycle offshore construction execution for Mechanical, Piping, Electrical & Instrumentation disciplines across multiple platforms, ensuring alignment with EPC contracts, ADNOC specifications, and project KPIs. 

Act as the senior-most authority offshore for coordinating all construction activities, supervising engineers, supervisors, technicians, riggers, fitters, welders, electricians, and instrumentation teams. 

Plan, coordinate, and execute heavy lifting operations for compressors, dryers, receivers, pressure vessels, pipe spools, transformers, MCC/SWGR panels, and skid packages on offshore platforms. 

Review and approve detailed lifting studies, rigging plans, crane load charts, deck loading checks, and engineered lifting procedures. 

Coordinate marine spread operations including crane barges, jack-ups, AHT/Supply vessels for safe equipment positioning. 

Maintain full compliance with ADNOC lifting guidelines, LOLER, API RP 2D, and project HSE standards. 

Provide technical leadership for mechanical installation: equipment alignment, torquing, rotating equipment mounting, skid placement, structural supports, valves, and tie-ins. 

Oversee piping fabrication, offshore spool fit-up, welding, NDT, hydrotesting, reinstatement, and system handover. 

Resolve field-level mechanical/piping clashes, constructability issues, or routing constraints through engineering coordination. 

Coordinate electrical installation activities including cable pulling, termination, tray installation, SWGR/MCC placement, earthing, and electrical testing. 

Lead instrumentation installation: JB mounting, hook-up, loop checking, instrument calibration, and F&G device installation. 

Ensure multidisciplinary work sequences (Mech–Piping–E&I) are synchronized to avoid rework or schedule conflicts. 

Provide expert constructability inputs during design and model reviews (P&IDs, layouts, mechanical GA, piping isometrics, cable routing, and structural layouts). 

Identify and resolve constructability issues early lifting access, deck loading, routing congestion, tie-in locations, equipment footprint limitations, and SIMOPS constraints. 

Ensure engineering deliverables are complete, accurate, and construction-ready before mobilization. 

Develop detailed offshore construction execution plans, priority work fronts, manning plans, heavy lift schedules, and daily/weekly progress strategies. 

Support Planning/PMC/EPC teams in building WBS execution sequences, shutdown logic, SIMOPS integration, and mechanical completion (MC) milestones. 

Monitor daily productivity, progress KPIs, and take corrective action to mitigate delays, constraints, or material shortages. 

Work closely with commissioning teams to ensure readiness for pre-commissioning and commissioning for Mechanical, Piping, Electrical & Instrumentation packages. 

Support mechanical run tests, piping reinstatement verifications, MCC/SWGR energization, instrument loop checks, and cause-effect validation. 

Ensure all systems reach Mechanical Completion, Ready-for-Commissioning (RFC), and Ready-for-Start-Up (RFSU) in accordance with EPC and ADNOC requirements. 

Interface with OEMs (compressors, dryers, MCCs, SWGR, transformers, instrumentation, DCS/ICSS, F&G, valves) for installation, testing, technical issues, and commissioning support. 

Ensure OEM-specific installation requirements, tolerances, alignment procedures, and functional test plans are strictly adhered to. 

Coordinate FAT/SAT findings, site queries, punch points, and engineering clarifications with vendors. 

ADNOC PTW, LOTO, confined space, working-at-height certification 

Ensure competent, certified construction crews and commissioning personnel are deployed and properly rotated per ADNOC POB requirements. 

Maintain strong coordination with logistics, marine operations, and ADNOC site authorities. 

Oversee discipline-wise QA/QC activities including welding/NDT acceptance, bolt torquing, alignment, flange management, electrical tests, instrument calibration, and reinstatement checks. 

Ensure punch lists are logged, categorized, assigned, and closed promptly to avoid delays in MC/RFC. 

Maintain full traceability of construction documentation, test packs, redlines, and as-builts. 

Provide daily/weekly progress reports, manpower logs, heavy lift records, delay notifications, offshore constraints, and productivity summaries to EPC management. 

Review and approve work packs, method statements, lifting plans, ITPs, and construction dossiers. 

Manage interface registers, change requests, technical deviations, and field change notices. 

Coordinate with ADNOC Operations for platform shutdowns, isolation plans, LOTO procedures, live-system interactions, and SIMOPS controls. 

Maintain continuous communication with EPC Project Management, Engineering, QC, HSE, Marine, Procurement, and Commissioning teams.
