Job Title: Deputy and Field Project Engineer / Lead Engineer 2 - Project Management_MB30

Location: Doha, Qatar

Rotation / Work Schedule: 5 days a week / 8-9 hours a day

Contract Duration: 12 months renewable as per business need

Role Type : NES Contractor

The selected candidate will support the execution of the UPGRADE OF CRITICAL AUXILIARIES AND AIR FILTER HOUSE in an EPC Project that includes a major Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning initiative involving three LNG trains within an operating gas-processing facility in Qatar.

The project is focused on life extension and efficiency improvement through the upgrade, refurbishment, replacement and maintenance of critical auxiliaries, including the air filter houses, together with the associated updates to control and safety systems and plant infrastructure.

He/she will report operationally to the Senior Project Engineer and support the engineering scope from design development through procurement, site execution, commissioning, start-up, performance testing and final documentation. He/she will provide the primary day-to-day engineering link between the End User Project Team and BH globally distributed engineering team.

The role combines deputy project engineering and field engineering responsibilities. The candidate will coordinate multidisciplinary activities, resolve field issues, maintain technical and documentation alignment, support risk mitigation and structured problem solving, and contribute to the quality, timeliness and cost control of project deliverables. Overall technical accountability remains with the Senior Project Engineer and designated discipline authorities.

As Deputy and Field Project Engineer you will be responsible for:

• Coordinating technical reviews, documentation, interfaces, field changes, construction support and problem solving.
• Supporting testing, commissioning, start-up, site acceptance, performance testing and final handover.
• Maintaining continuity across different time zones, working days, weekends and public holidays through structured handovers and escalation routes.

Essential Responsibilities

• Build effective relationships with internal and external stakeholders and represent Baker Hughes in routine customer engineering meetings within delegated authority.
• Collect and clarify customer requirements, comments and priorities; assign actions to the correct technical owners with clear context, expected outputs and due dates.
• Coordinate consistent multidisciplinary responses and prevent conflicting or informal communication channels.
• Support the Senior Project Engineer with status summaries, briefing notes, decisions, risks, priorities and escalation of deviations or potential scope changes.
• Coordinate the scope across three LNG trains and fifteen turbo-compressor units, maintaining common design consistency while controlling train- and unit-specific differences.

Time-Zone and Working-Calendar Management

• Establish practical overlap and recurring coordination routines among Doha, Florence and other engineering locations.
• Prepare concise written handovers so work progresses across time zones without waiting for the next common working day.
• Maintain a priority action register with owners, dates, status and escalation levels, including coverage for different weekends, holidays and absences.
• Apply reasonable flexibility in working hours while respecting local legislation, company policies and sustainable working practices.

Documentation, Technical Assurance and Interfaces

• Monitor the Master Document Register, customer comments, review cycles, priorities, approvals and overdue deliverables.
• Coordinate revisions, transmittals, configuration, red-line mark-ups, as-built documents, completion dossiers and final handover records.
• Coordinate design basis, multidisciplinary, 3D-model, constructability, maintainability, human-factors and readiness reviews.
• Support HAZOP, HAZID, FMEA and other risk studies, ensuring actions are assigned, incorporated and closed.
• Maintain or contribute to technical-query, decision, interface, risk, issue and change registers; support Interface Agreement packages and formal change control.

Qualifications/Requirements

• Engineering degree from an accredited university or college and at least five years of relevant engineering experience on Oil & Gas, LNG, energy or EPC projects.
• Experience as Project Engineer, Field Engineer, Site Engineer, Resident Engineer or similar role, including interaction with major customers and multidisciplinary teams.
• Knowledge of rotating equipment, gas turbines, compressors, piping, electrical, instrumentation and controls, civil interfaces and plant integration.
• Understanding of brownfield execution, construction, commissioning, operational constraints, HAZOP/FMEA, risk, change and technical-assurance processes.
• Strong documentation, reporting, presentation, stakeholder-management, leadership and problem-solving skills.

Desired Characteristics

• Ability to work independently in a multicultural matrix organization and influence teams without direct reporting authority.
• Fluent written and spoken English; availability to live in Doha for the full project duration and travel to Ras Laffan, suppliers or engineering offices as required.
• Customer-focused mindset with strong interpersonal skills.
• Ability to influence and lead cross-functional teams without direct authority.
• Strong planning, prioritization, and organizational capabilities.
• Data-driven approach to decision-making.
• Continuous improvement mindset and proactive attitude.
