About the Job

Requirements

  • A Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering is required.
  • ADNOC Offshore approval or eligibility is required.
  • At least 16 years of Oil & Gas EPC experience in static equipment engineering is required.
  • At least 7–10 years of experience on ADNOC Offshore or offshore projects is required.
  • Strong knowledge of static equipment design codes and standards is required.
  • A strong understanding of offshore design constraints and constructability is required.
  • The candidate must be able to review complex calculations and fabrication drawings.
  • Strong coordination with multidisciplinary and client teams is required.
  • Certification or training in pressure vessel design or inspection is advantageous.
  • Experience with brownfield platform projects is preferred.
  • The role requires technical strength, attention to detail, proactive and accountable conduct, solution orientation, and confidence communicating with ADNOC, original equipment manufacturers, and EPC teams.
  • The candidate must be able to work under tight deadlines and offshore project demands.
  • Required software and tools include PV Elite, COMPRESS, Nozzle Pro, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, AVEVA E3D or PDMS, Microsoft Excel, and Navisworks.

Responsibilities

  • Act as Lead Static Equipment Authority for pressure-vessel design, mechanical integrity, and offshore installation feasibility.
  • Enforce compliance with ADNOC Codes of Practice, ASME Section VIII, API 510/650/620 as applicable, and ISO pressure-equipment standards.
  • Provide final technical approval on static-equipment design packages.
  • Review and approve vendor datasheets, general arrangement drawings, design calculations, and weight and center-of-gravity data.
  • Validate design pressure and temperature, corrosion allowance, materials of construction, nozzle orientation, and nozzle loads.
  • Ensure original equipment manufacturer compliance with ADNOC pressure-equipment regulations and offshore transport and lifting constraints.
  • Lead static engineering for deck-load integration, space constraints, maintenance access, and removal envelopes.
  • Review laser-scan data, as-built drawings, and brownfield modification method statements.
  • Support hot-work planning and simultaneous operations integration.
  • Support mechanical-integrity reviews, fitness-for-service assessments, and remaining-life evaluations as required.
  • Interface with ADNOC inspection teams on risk-based inspection classification, inspection planning, and hydrotest-exemption cases as applicable.
  • Provide static-equipment input on overpressure protection, pressure safety valve sizing and discharge routing, vessel-isolation philosophy, and maintenance and access hazards for hazard identification, hazard and operability, environmental impact identification, and safety integrity level studies.
  • Ensure safety actions are reflected in piping and instrumentation diagrams, layout drawings, and vendor data.
  • Review lifting plans and rigging studies, padeye locations and structural interfaces, and transportation load cases.
  • Ensure vessel stability during lifting, offshore lifting safety factors, and compliance with ADNOC offshore lifting standards.
  • Provide operations-engineering support during equipment installation, alignment and leveling checks, hydrotesting and reinstatement, and pre-commissioning walkdowns.
  • Verify readiness for Mechanical Completion and Ready for Start-Up.
  • Maintain static-equipment and datasheet registers, deviation and technical-query logs, vendor drawing registers, and other discipline registers.
  • Review and approve fabrication drawings, hydrotest packs, final as-built documentation, datasheets, general arrangement drawings, design calculations, and inspection and test records.
  • Ensure compliance with ADNOC document numbering and document-control procedures and the Project Master Document Register.
  • Prepare weekly static-engineering progress reports and monthly discipline status reports.
  • Verify and approve as-built static documentation and support preparation of Mechanical Completion, Ready for Commissioning, and Ready for Start-Up dossiers.
  • Support ADNOC audits and reviews and close out static-related actions and deviations.
  • Provide approved static-equipment datasheets and specifications, vendor technical evaluation and recommendation reports, reviewed and approved general arrangement and fabrication drawings, factory acceptance test and inspection reports, as-built documentation and equipment handover dossiers, and interface and equipment registers.
  • Enforce ADNOC permit-to-work requirements, offshore simultaneous-operations safety, and dropped-object prevention.
  • Validate equipment guarding, access platforms, and compatibility with emergency escape requirements.
  • Coordinate closely with EPC mechanical and piping teams, structural engineering, electrical and instrumentation-and-control disciplines, compressor and dryer original equipment manufacturers, and ADNOC project management, operations, and inspection teams.
