Activities
To govern offshore interface management for SURF/SPS/ASPL, ensuring packages interface correctly across engineering offices, yards, and offshore spread, in line with IMS governance (New PRODOM).
To control offshore battery limits and interface responsibility boundaries in alignment with the Offshore IRM, ensuring clear tie points, responsibilities, and acceptance criteria across phases (INPUT to COM).
To define and maintain offshore interface data exchange requirements (soft interfaces) and physical tie-in definitions (hard interfaces), ensuring consistency with the Interface Basis of Design and associated design maturity status
To prevent change orders and delays by proactively identifying interface risks, gaps and holds, driving timely closure of interface actions and proposing mitigation/recovery plans.
To coordinate and chair regular offshore interface meetings/workshops with package interface correspondents and contractor Interface Managers, ensuring decisions are logged, tracked and closed.
To ensure integrated testing readiness across packages (e.g., interface testing / EFAT / SIT / SAT dependencies) by coordinating test scope, responsibilities, test evidence and punch closure between interfacing parties.
To ensure interface documentation quality and timeliness (interface deliverables, procedures, ITR evidence, as-builts) and coordinate with Document Control for traceable records.
To coordinate offshore interfaces impacted by subsea layout, tolerances, installation constraints and sequencing, ensuring design changes are controlled and reflected in the IMS baseline.
To coordinate interfaces for offshore pipelines, MEG, and FOC systems (offshore portion), including the interface points with onshore/nearshore scope owners and the telecom/ICSS backbone, without duplicating the Telecom/ICSS Interface Lead role.
To manage the EPS connection interfaces (optional), ensuring offshore dependencies are captured and coordinated, while Telecom/ICSS integration remains under Telecom/ICSS Interface Lead and topside execution remains under CPF Contractor and CPY Interface Lead; ensure a clear interface between interface leads.
To ensure HSSE-by-design principles are embedded into offshore interface resolution (HAZID/HAZOP interface actions, SIMOPS constraints, safe tie-in planning) and escalate any integrity/HSE interface risks.
To ensure contractors provide accurate interface progress reporting and to consolidate offshore interface KPIs/status (aging, due/overdue actions, critical interfaces, readiness gates) for Interface Manager and PMT reporting.
To ensure that third-party impacts affecting offshore scope (e.g., crossings, external corridors, host facility constraints) are identified early, routed via COMPANY Third Party Interface Lead, and incorporated into offshore plans without direct contractor-to-third-party contact.
To capture lessons learned and provide feedback to the Interface Manager and project teams for continuous improvement of interface governance and execution performance.
Accountabilities
- Shall implement and maintain an effective offshore interface management process aligned with COMPANY governance and the New PRODOM IMS (IR/ITS), ensuring traceability and auditable closeout.
- Shall ensure offshore battery limits are defined, controlled and consistently applied, with clear physical/functional tie points and agreed acceptance/testing requirements at each boundary.
- Shall ensure timely resolution of offshore interface issues and escalate unresolved conflicts or schedule threats to the Interface Manager with recommended corrective actions.
- Shall ensure offshore interface deliverables and records are complete, accurate and issued on time (incl. MoM, decision log, interface deliverables, as-built updates, test evidence).
- Shall ensure effective coordination of the EPS connection interfaces (if within project allocation), while respecting role boundaries: Telecom/ICSS integration by Telecom/ICSS Interface Lead and topside works by CPF Contractor and CPY Interface Lead; shall ensure structured interface between the interface leads
- Shall ensure third-party impacts relevant to offshore delivery are managed through the COMPANY Third Party Interface Lead, and that contractors do not engage third parties directly outside approved governance.
- Shall promote HSSE leadership and ensure interface decisions do not introduce HSE or integrity risks; shall flag and escalate any unsafe or non-compliant interface condition
Qualifications/Experience required
- Engineering degree (Master’s level or equivalent).
- 10–15 years’ Oil & Gas project experience with strong multi-discipline background, preferably including offshore/subsea systems and EPC/EPCI execution.
- Minimum 1–3 years in an interface management / integration role on a multi-package project, with demonstrated battery limit control and interface closure discipline.
- Strong capability to coordinate contractors and transverse Company functions in a multicultural, multi-site environment; Strong communication and arbitration skills.
- Fluent English (working level).
- Regular travel expected (contractor offices, yards, and offshore-related readiness/support as required).
