- Ensure compliance with Class, Flag State, and Coastal State requirements, maintaining full traceability of QA/QC records and completions documentation.
Required Qualifications & Experience- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, preferably in Naval Architecture or Structural Engineering.
- Minimum of 15 years of experience in the offshore oil and gas industry, including significant time in senior construction leadership positions.
- Expert-level knowledge of FPSO design, engineering, construction, offshore installation, and hook-up activities.
- Proven experience delivering FPSO projects involving new-build, conversion, and redeployment scopes.
- Expert-level knowledge and hands-on experience with hull structures and marine systems.
- Demonstrated success in interface management within multi-contractor and multi-package project environments.
- Strong contract management and administration skills, including claims management, variations, and contractor performance oversight.
- Project execution experience across multiple geographical locations and fabrication yards.
- Fluency in English, both written and spoken, complemented by strong reporting and presentation skills.
- Proven ability to perform effectively within multi-location, multinational, and multicultural project environments.
- Valid offshore medical certification, BOSIET/HUET training, and availability to travel internationally (or ability to obtain).
Preferred- Expert-level knowledge of mooring systems, including spread, turret, internal/external, and disconnectable configurations, as well as mooring installation and hook-up activities.
