• Develop specifications, datasheets, mechanical requisitions, and interface documents for offshore equipment and systems.
• Interface with construction, installation, and commissioning teams to ensure seamless integration and readiness for offshore execution.
• Review and approve vendor documentation and ensure follow-up on FATs, inspections, preservation, and certification.
• Participate in risk assessments, HAZOP, HAZID, design reviews, model reviews, and constructability sessions.
• Ensure mechanical design and installation are optimized for offshore safety, reliability, maintainability, and operability.

• Discipline progress and risk reporting for Pre-EPC, EPC, and EPCIC stages.
• MS Office, IFS/PIMS or similar

Qualifications

• Bachelor or Master degree in mechanical engineering or related field. Extensive relevant work experience can compensate for lack of formal education.
• Minimum 8–10 years of mechanical engineering experience, with at least 5 years in offshore oil & gas or offshore energy projects.
• Proven experience through Pre-EPC, EPC, and EPCIC phases, including offshore installation and commissioning.
• Deep knowledge of offshore regulations and design standards (e.g., NORSOK, DNV, ASME, API, ISO).
• Experience with rotating/static equipment, pressure systems, and offshore lifting systems.
• Familiarity with 3D modelling tools (E3D, PDMS), analysis software (e.g., Caesar II), and document systems (e.g., IFS, SharePoint) is an advantage.
• Strong leadership, coordination, and communication skills in cross-discipline and multicultural project teams. Offshore survival and safety training certifications preferred.
