  • Interpret engineering drawings, work packs, lift plans, cutting plans, and procedures;
    ensure correct implementation in the field.
  • Verify offshore equipment, tools, rigging, consumables, and materials match engineering
    requirements and readiness expectations.


Construction, Marine & Subsea Operations Support
  • Support offshore activities such as heavy lifts, subsea retrievals, pipeline/umbilical
    operations, mechanical disconnections, and deck operations.
  • Ensure adherence to SIMOPS requirements, exclusion zones, marine coordination
    instructions, and vessel operating envelopes.
  • Monitor field operations for sequence accuracy, technical compliance, and safe
    execution.


Work Pack, Procedure & Readiness Verification
  • Ensure offshore crews understand the scope, constraints, risk controls, and step-by-step
    sequence contained in work packs and procedures.
  • Support readiness by validating offshore documentation, permits, checklists, and
    equipment/crew preparedness.
  • Capture as-found conditions, deviations, and field constraints requiring engineering
    updates or MoC.


Quality, SSU & Regulatory Compliance
  • Ensure operations comply with Life-Saving Rules, critical SSU controls, and
    environmental/regulatory requirements.
  • Document NCRs, CARs, field observations, and improvement actions, escalating as
    required.
  • Support regulatory compliance activities involving BSEE, BOEM, USCG, and
    environmental monitoring as applicable.
    Field Reporting, Documentation & Close-Out
  • Capture offshore daily progress, quantities, weather impacts, delays, and resource usage
    for reporting to onshore teams.
  • Record field redlines, measurements, photos, and evidence to support as-built
    documentation and close-out.
  • Provide daily/weekly technical updates to engineering, construction, marine
    coordination, and project management.


Interface & Communication
  • Serve as the offshore technical liaison to onshore engineering, construction
    management, marine operations, and project controls.
  • Relay field issues, constraints, material shortages, and engineering queries to ensure
    timely resolution.
