- Review contractual documents and specifications (welding, NDT, line pipe, field joint coating). Provide relevant technical evaluation, deviations, and clarifications for project execution and bidding/tendering.
- Review project-specific welding, NDT, and field joint coating programs, execution plans, method statements, schedules, weld maps, Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS), and relevant documentation (qualification and installation).
- Work closely with welding, NDT, coating, and operation teams to optimize installation productivity and supervision of installation cycle time (station and activity wise), weld cut-out, weld repair, and downtime.
- Develop robust welding procedures to maximize offshore production and minimize weld repairs and cut-outs.
- Determine quantities for all welding-related consumables required during project qualification and execution.
- Participate in risk management of welding execution. Provide technical resolution for any qualification or installation operational issues related to welding, NDT, and quality control.
- Monitor project cost and schedule to remain within allocated budget and deadlines, including tracking of planned versus actual execution.
- Prepare and review deliverables with the Project Support Engineer as part of project preparation and execution.
- Provide ad hoc support for NDT and coating activities during project execution, including during offshore installation.
- Prepare the welding close-out report after project execution, including production performance analysis, lessons learned, and personnel evaluation.
- Provide ad hoc support for yard fabrication for project installation aids and fabricated items if required.
- Manage with the Project Support Engineer the evaluation forms and feedback forms from/to subcontractors and vendors.
- Store and maintain in real time all project documentation in the department shared drive.
- Adhere at all times to company policies, Management System Operating Procedures, and corporate QHSE and departmental procedures. Contribute to improvement of departmental processes. Meet KPIs, deliverables, and initiatives set by management.
- Contribute to overall departmental KPIs.
