Mechanical Supervisor

Mechanical Construction Supervision
Supervise installation, assembly, and testing of mechanical systems, including piping, valves, and static equipment and rigging activites.
Ensure work is executed in accordance with project specifications, drawings, method statements, and Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs).
Verify alignment, torqueing, and testing procedures are carried out correctly.
Team Leadership & Coordination
Lead and manage teams of mechanical technicians, fitters, and helpers on site.
Assign daily tasks, monitor progress, and ensure productivity targets are achieved.
Coordinate with other discipline supervisors (electrical, civil, instrumentation) to avoid interface conflicts.
HSE & Quality Enforcement
Enforce strict compliance with HSE procedures, including permit-to-work, lock-out/tag-out (LOTO), and confined space entry.
Conduct daily toolbox talks, safety briefings, and hazard identification with the team.
Ensure that quality requirements and inspection hold points are respected during execution.
Work Preparation & Planning
Review construction schedules and look-ahead plans with the Site Manager and Planner.
Verify availability of manpower, tools, lifting equipment, and consumables before starting tasks.
Participate in constructability reviews and provide feedback on work sequencing.
Progress Monitoring & Reporting
Track daily progress and report status, issues, and resource utilization to the Site Manager.
Identify delays or constraints and propose corrective actions.
Maintain site documentation, including work permits, daily logs, and inspection records.
Commissioning & Handover Support
Support mechanical pre-commissioning and commissioning activities, including flushing, leak testing, and functional testing.
Ensure punch list items are closed before system handover.
Liaise with QA/QC and client inspectors during final inspections.
Special working conditions
Onshore site visits and extended working hours may be required during critical project phases.
Must be available for rapid deployment to project sites when operational issues arise.
