Position Overview

The Lead Completion Engineer will be responsible for the planning, coordination, and execution of all Systems Completion activities for a major offshore compression project. The scope includes the engineering, procurement, fabrication, installation, and commissioning of two large offshore compression complexes, each consisting of:

  • Offshore compression platforms
  • Power generation facilities
  • Living quarters
  • Flare platforms
  • Interconnecting bridges
  • All associated structural and utility systems

The role begins in the Home Office, focusing on planning, procedures, certification systems, and coordination with engineering teams. The position will then transition to the site to lead construction completions, mechanical completion, pre?commissioning, and final handover.


Key Responsibilities

Systems Completion Planning & Strategy

  • Develop the overall Systems Completion execution strategy for multiple offshore platforms and associated facilities.
  • Establish system boundaries and Completion Packages covering compression modules, power generation units, utility systems, accommodation modules, flares, and bridge-linked structures.
  • Determine manpower, resource loading, and scheduling requirements through all completions phases.
  • Work closely with engineering, procurement, construction, quality, commissioning, and offshore operations to align all priorities and deliverables.

Execution & Coordination

  • Ensure all construction and installation work undergoes required inspections, checks, and tests as per the Systems Completion procedure.
