About This Role
Role Purpose
The Offshore Lead Engineer is responsible for the overall technical execution and leadership of offshore engineering projects.
This role bridges the gap between onshore design teams and offshore operations, ensuring that structural, mechanical, and subsea systems are engineered to the highest safety and performance standards.
You will oversee the technical integrity of the project from FEED (Front-End Engineering Design) through to installation and commissioning.
Key Responsibilities
- Technical Leadership:
- Lead a multi-disciplinary team of engineers in the design, analysis, and implementation of offshore structures, pipelines, or platforms.
- Project Oversight:
- Manage engineering schedules, budget estimates, and resource allocation to ensure timely project delivery.
• Standards & Compliance
- Ensure all engineering activities comply with international offshore standards (e.g., API, AISC, DNV) and local maritime regulations.
- Risk Management:
- Conduct and lead safety studies, including HAZID, HAZOP, and SIMOPS (Simultaneous Operations) to mitigate offshore operational risks.
• Vendor & Stakeholder Liaison
- Act as the primary technical point of contact for clients, subcontractors, and third-party verification bodies.
- Site Support:
- Provide technical guidance during the fabrication and installation phases, often requiring travel to offshore assets to troubleshoot real-time engineering challenges.
- Quality Assurance:
- Review and approve technical drawings, calculation reports, and procurement specifications for critical offshore equipment.
