1. Field Engineering Management:

• Lead, coordinate, and manage field engineering activities to ensure technical compliance, quality control, and adherence to project specifications and timelines.
• Serve as the primary interface between the project management team, construction contractors, and stakeholders to resolve technical issues on-site.
• Provide oversight and guidance on construction engineering activities, including design changes and field modifications.
• Support project execution by ensuring all engineering documents, drawings, and specifications are correctly followed on-site.

1. System Completion Management:

• Oversee the system completion phase of the project, ensuring all systems and equipment are tested, verified, and meet the design and safety requirements.
• Manage a comprehensive system completion plan, aligning with commissioning, start-up, and handover schedules.
• Collaborate with construction, commissioning, and operations teams to identify and address any system integration or functionality issues.
• Coordinate pre-commissioning and commissioning activities, including mechanical completion, testing, and performance validation of systems.
• Ensure all project documentation for system completion (such as punch lists, test procedures, and completion dossiers) are accurate and up-to-date.

1. Quality Assurance and Compliance:

• Implement and enforce quality assurance standards and procedures in line with project requirements, codes, and regulatory standards.
• Conduct regular site inspections, audits, and reviews to ensure compliance with industry standards, client specifications, and safety requirements.
• Lead efforts in identifying and resolving non-conformances, tracking root causes, and implementation of corrective actions.

1. Project Coordination and Stakeholder Engagement:

• Interface with the client, contractors, and internal teams to ensure clear communication and alignment on project milestones, deliverables, and expectations.
• Participate in project planning and progress meetings to provide updates on field engineering and system completion status.
• Manage stakeholder concerns related to engineering challenges, quality issues, and project delays, and ensure all resolutions are documented.

1. Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) Leadership:

• Promote a strong safety culture on-site, ensuring compliance with all HSE policies and procedures.
• Lead by example in adhering to HSE standards, conducting safety audits, Pre Startup Safety Reviews (PSSR) and supporting HSE initiatives on-site.
• Engage in risk assessments and hazard analyses related to precommissioning and commissioning activities, ensuring risks are mitigated effectively.

Qualification and Experience:

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Chemical, or Mechanical) or a related discipline. A Master’s degree is a plus.
• Experience: Minimum of 10-15 years of experience in field engineering or project engineering roles within the oil and gas industry, specifically with refinery projects.

Skills and Competencies:

• Strong understanding of refinery processes, construction methodologies and engineering principles, especially within a PMC framework.
• Proficiency in system completion processes, including pre-commissioning, commissioning, and handover.
• Demonstrated ability to lead multidisciplinary teams and resolve complex engineering challenges on-site.
• Excellent planning, scheduling, and organizational skills with a focus on time-bound deliverables.
• Proactive approach to identifying and resolving technical and logistical issues efficiently.
• Strong and effective written and verbal communication skills to interact with all project stakeholders.
