HSE

▪ Ensure and promote the application of the Company safety and environment rules and specifications throughout the works.

▪ Ensure that contractors comply at all times with safety rules, taking actions as required in case of disregard of the rules, stopping the works if they are deemed unsafe, and organising tool-box meetings and recovery plans.

▪ Ensure that safe working practices are used by the team and the various contractors, with particular attention to pipeline high-risk activities (excavation and trenching, lifting and side-boom operations, pipe stringing and lowering-in, radiography, hydrotesting / pressure testing, work near live lines and confined spaces), reporting any irregularities.

▪ Ensure and monitor the safety of personnel and installations as well as the protection of the environment along the pipeline corridors.

▪ Take an active part in the Site Safety Walks with the EPC Contractor and subcontractors’ representatives.

▪ Participate in regular Safety audits at the construction site. Contribute to Lessons learned.

▪ Approve Job Safety Analysis (JSA). Ensure contractor Control of Work and Permit to Work processes are adhered to, including for works within the Royal Commission corridor and in the vicinity of existing / live facilities.

Construction supervision

▪ Review and approve contractor Construction procedures and Method Statements (MS) for mechanical pipeline works in line with Project requirements (ROW preparation, stringing, bending, welding, NDT, field joint coating, lowering-in, tie-ins, road / pipeline crossings and HDD, hydrotest, cleaning, gauging and drying).

▪ Ensure there is adequate field surveillance of contractor construction activities along all pipeline spreads, pipe ways and metering facilities.

▪ Follow up welding activities (WPS/PQR and welder qualification, weld repair rates, NDT results) and field joint coating, holiday testing and coating repairs in coordination with Quality.

▪ Supervise pipeline tie-ins, crossings and interconnections with SATORP, Saudi Aramco, Value Park investors / third parties and KFIP export facilities, in coordination with the Package Interface Engineer.

▪ Witness and follow up pressure testing, cleaning, gauging, drying and other pre-commissioning activities, and support the interfaces with cathodic protection, instrumentation and electrical disciplines.

▪ Follow up on inspections and testing relating to Quality Control and manage resulting remedial work demands for Construction. Monitor audit conformance and expedite corrective action on deviations and non-compliance on works.

Planning, progress and reporting

▪ Identify key risks to delivery and ensure adequate risk mitigation or contingency plans are in place. Report any concerns to the Construction Manager.

▪ Review and comment on the Contractor’s look-ahead and detailed work schedules for the mechanical pipeline works.

▪ Monitor field execution progress, validate the Contractor’s reported quantities (km strung, welded, coated, lowered, backfilled and tested) and report progress for the purpose of project monitoring and evaluation.

▪ Address in a timely manner any performance deviation as per the required construction interdependencies to release workfronts (Engineering, Procurement and Interface prerequisites, as well as succeeding Commissioning and Start-Up sequences).

▪ Participate in the site progress weekly review and contribute to the weekly and monthly progress reports.

▪ Attend all meetings related to construction activities as defined by the Construction Manager.

Completion and handover

▪ Manage test pack / sub-system and system handover to the Commissioning Team, manage Punch Lists and prepare the release of mechanical completion certificates.

Coordination

▪ Interact with HSE and Quality on a weekly basis to address open observations.

▪ Coordinate with the Construction teams of other Packages to ensure activities are completed on schedule and that interfaces run smoothly.

▪ Coordinate with Petchem (Operations) on ergonomic reviews on site.

▪ Document and record all correspondence relating to the construction.

▪ Engineering degree or equivalent (Mechanical / Civil or related discipline).

▪ Extensive construction experience (+15 years), including significant hands-on experience in onshore cross-country pipeline construction, preferably in the Oil & Gas, Refining and Petrochemicals industry.

▪ Sound knowledge of pipeline construction techniques and standards (welding and NDT, coating, HDD and crossings, hydrotesting, pre-commissioning) and of Saudi Aramco / Royal Commission requirements is an asset.

▪ Demonstrate high team work ability with HSE and QA teams.

▪ Experience and ability to work in an integrated organization and a multi-interface environment.

▪ Good knowledge of technical English (written, spoken).
