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.

Physical requirements

• Fit for offshore work and able to meet physical demands and extended standing in field visit conditions.

Education

• Diploma or degree in Mechanical Engineering, or vocational training with equivalent industry experience.
