Maintain installation procedures, quality records, and relevant project documentation.
Identify and resolve technical issues during offshore installation activities.
Ensure compliance with client specifications, project procedures, and applicable technical standards.
Implement offshore safety procedures and ensure HSE compliance throughout operations.
Coordinate with marine crews on safe installation and equipment-handling activities.
Participate in toolbox talks, safety meetings, and emergency response procedures as required.
Provide technical support and troubleshooting during complex offshore installations.
Interface with onshore engineering and project teams for technical coordination and issue resolution.
Support equipment troubleshooting and maintenance coordination during offshore operations.
Participate in client meetings and onboard daily progress meetings, providing technical updates and installation status.
Assist with the mobilization of marine units, including documentation, equipment, and personnel readiness, during onshore periods.

Requirements

Bachelor's Degree in Marine Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
8+ years of offshore operations experience, including 8+ years of subsea sleeper installation experience is mandatory.
Proven experience in offshore subsea installation and marine operations.
Valid BOSIET and HUET certifications.

Strong knowledge of offshore operations, subsea installation, quality control, and marine coordination.
Ability to troubleshoot and resolve technical issues effectively in offshore environments.
Strong understanding of offshore safety standards, subsea installation procedures, and marine operations requirements.
Strong safety awareness with the ability to work effectively in demanding offshore environments.
Excellent communication and coordination skills with offshore crews, clients, and onshore teams.
Strong problem-solving skills and technical competence.
