Reports To – Project Manager

Position Summary

This role sits on a Design, Build, Operate, Transfer (DBOT) polymer injection facility programme for a major Oman national oil company. The scope runs from concept and FEED through detailed design, procurement, construction and commissioning, into the Initial Operation Period and steady-state Operate phase, and ultimately to Transfer to the client. Much of the work is executed on or adjacent to live producing fields, so interface management, brownfield tie-in planning and close coordination with the client's Operations, Engineering and HSE functions run through everything we do. Detailed design and physical construction are delivered through an EPC partner under our technical direction; Polymer Experts Oman remains fully accountable to the client for the outcome.

• Run the Third-Party Inspection Agency (TPIA) programme and the Material Verification Program (MVP).
• Own Inspection and Test Plans and the Hold, Witness, Review and Surveillance point regime across design, procurement and construction.
• Assure quality and traceability of interface and tie-in records — welding, NDE, material traceability — to the same standard as new-build scope.
• Own the non-conformance system: NCR raising, root cause analysis, corrective and preventive action and close-out tracking.
• Plan and conduct quality audits across our own organisation, the EPC contractor(s) and subcontractors, and drive findings to closure.
• Report quality KPIs — NCR close-out, weld repair rate, preservation index — and drive corrective action where trends deteriorate.
• Ensure quality records, MRBs and certification packages support the pre-start-up audit, system completion and take-over milestones.
