Company Description

The Production Subsea & Inlet Panel Operator monitors and operates all subsea wells, subsea control systems, and the inlet facilities feeding the LNG production trains. Working from the Central Control Room (CCR), the operator ensures safe, stable, and efficient upstream flow into the gas processing and LNG trains.
This role combines subsea operations, inlet/process monitoring, and classic DCS panel operation as described in standard LNG panel operator roles.

Job Description

1. Subsea Operations Monitoring

• Monitor wellhead pressures, temperatures, flowrates, subsea valves, and subsea control systems via DCS/ICSS.
• Detect and respond to subsea anomalies such as hydraulic pressure loss, sand detection, or flow instability.
• Maintain safe and optimized well and subsea system performance.

2. Inlet System Control

• Operate and monitor inlet separators, anti-slugging systems, and hydrate-prevention systems.
• Adjust inlet parameters to ensure a stable feed to the production train.

3. DCS Panel Operation (CCR)

• Continuously monitor process parameters and keep operations within the defined operating window.
• Apply production instructions and adjust setpoints as required for stable operation.
• Support field operators in routine and emergency situations.

4. Safety & Emergency Systems

• Operate and monitor ESD1, ESD2, EDP1, EDP2 and Fire & Gas systems.
• Follow PTW / SIMOPS requirements and report any safety deviations.
• Participate in emergency response procedures.

5. Troubleshooting & Optimization

• Identify operational upsets quickly and take corrective action.
• Minimize and optimize flaring during disturbances.
• Assist in diagnosing process issues with field teams.

6. Reporting & Handover

• Record deviations, operating changes, and events in shift logs.
• Perform structured shift handovers.
• Document safety device tests (SDV/ESDV/BDV).

Qualifications

Technical Skills

• Excellent knowledge of DCS/ICSS operations, shutdown systems (ESD/EDP), and F&G systems.
• Strong understanding of natural gas processing and LNG production fundamentals.
• Knowledge of subsea systems (wells, XMT, SCSSV, chokes, umbilicals).
• Strong troubleshooting capability under dynamic plant conditions.

Experience

• 10+ years in Oil & Gas production operations.
• 5+ years as an LNG Train Panel Operator (not only LNG terminal).

Additional Information

• Starting date : July 2026
• Duration : 2 years in Milan (resident), then 2 years in Mozambique in rotation
