Job description

Role: Hook‑up Engineer – Offshore EPCI (Dubai, United Arab Emirates). Industry: Oil and Energy. Function: Construction. Experience required: Minimum 6 years. Job type: Full‑time.

The Hook‑Up Engineer supports offshore project execution by converting engineering information into coordinated construction work packs, task sheets, schedules, material plans, and field instructions. The role works across engineering, fabrication, procurement, logistics, quality, commissioning, subcontractor, vendor, and offshore construction teams to ensure work fronts are technically complete and ready for execution. This position also helps control scope growth, material movement, schedule interfaces, manpower requirements, and offshore installation risks. Its contribution directly affects construction productivity, vessel utilization, safety performance, system completion, and final project handover.

Key Responsibilities

Read, understand, and apply the company’s health, safety, environmental, and quality policies.
Follow the controls, procedures, responsibilities, and arrangements defined within the company management system.
Participate in pre‑engineering and pre‑construction surveys at yards, ports, offshore facilities, and other project locations.
Provide practical field guidance during surveys and help capture information required for construction planning.
Review engineering drawings for constructability, installation access, sequencing, lifting, and offshore execution constraints.
Identify drawing conflicts, incomplete information, and discipline interfaces requiring technical resolution.
Review and formalize the discipline scope of work, specifications, schedules, and required deliverables.
Confirm that hook‑up deliverables reflect contractual requirements and approved project execution plans.
Review material requisitions before ordering and verify compliance with drawings, specifications, and project requirements.
Develop and issue final hook‑up construction work packs for assigned project activities.
Ensure work packs contain current drawings, task sequences, procedures, materials, tools, resources, and safety requirements.
Prepare hook‑up task sheets and review task documentation produced by other team members.
Sequence hook‑up activities efficiently and coordinate schedules with other construction and commissioning disciplines.
Support resource forecasting and prepare discipline manpower loading requirements.
Coordinate the timely availability of engineering documents, fabricated items, materials, personnel, equipment, and vendors.
Verify that approved drawings, procedures, work packs, and material information are available before offshore execution.
Monitor scope changes and update the relevant completion, change tracking, or project control systems.
Record construction growth and implementation changes arising during project execution.
Coordinate material requirements with yard load‑out plans and offshore installation priorities.
Support the consolidation of materials into efficient vessel loads and offshore delivery sequences.
Liaise with fabrication, warehouse, quality, logistics, marine, and material control personnel.
Confirm that materials are inspected, released, preserved, tagged, and prepared for shipment.
Travel to regional fabrication yards, ports, offshore facilities, and onshore project sites as required.
Provide field engineering support and resolve straightforward hook‑up issues using approved procedures and technical precedent.
Execute hook‑up activities according to project schedules, construction procedures, specifications, and safety controls.
Monitor offshore work and confirm compliance with company requirements and approved installation methods.
Coordinate with project stakeholders to maintain progress and resolve construction interfaces.
Work with subcontractors and suppliers to support the orderly execution of hook‑up activities.
Provide technical guidance to project teams during planning, mobilization, and field execution.
Participate in HAZID reviews and contribute field‑based information on construction and installation risks.
Support investigations involving asset incidents, unsafe conditions, or hook‑up‑related hazards.
Communicate investigation findings and recommended actions to the project management team and Senior Hook‑Up Engineer.
Prepare technical reports, field checklists, execution records, survey findings, and construction documentation.
Provide regular progress reports covering milestones, constraints, material status, technical issues, and schedule deviations.
Ensure hook‑up activities comply with applicable codes, standards, regulations, specifications, and contractual requirements.
Participate in project review meetings and contribute practical recommendations for process and execution improvement.
Assist trainee engineers and newly appointed team members with discipline procedures and hook‑up practices.
Escalate complex technical issues to senior engineering or project leadership when they exceed assigned authority.
Support lessons learned and continuous improvement initiatives for future offshore hook‑up campaigns.

Ideal Profile

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or another relevant engineering discipline.
Minimum 6 years of experience in offshore hook‑up activities within the EPCI industry.
Practical knowledge of engineering, procurement, fabrication, construction, installation, and commissioning interfaces.
Experience developing hook‑up construction work packs, task sheets, scopes of work, and execution schedules.
Ability to review engineering drawings, material requisitions, specifications, and technical procedures.
Familiarity with offshore material coordination, yard load‑outs, vessel shipments, and work‑front preparation.
Working knowledge of API, ASME, IEC, NEC, and other relevant engineering and construction standards.
Strong understanding of offshore health, safety, environmental, and quality requirements.
Experience participating in pre‑engineering surveys, pre‑construction surveys, HAZID reviews, and incident investigations.
Ability to identify constructability concerns and recommend practical corrective actions.
Strong technical and analytical capability when resolving field execution issues.
Ability to manage competing priorities, organize documentation, and meet project deadlines.
Effective communication skills for working with multidisciplinary teams, customers, vendors, subcontractors, and offshore personnel.
Demonstrated leadership within the assigned discipline and willingness to support trainee engineers.
Proactive and adaptable working style suited to changing project and offshore conditions.
Ability to work independently while maintaining close coordination with project leadership.
