Company Description

Emirates Electrical & Instrumentation Company LLC.
For almost 20 years, we have made vital contributions to the Oil & Gas sector of the UAE, executing both onshore and offshore projects. Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) is one of our main clients along with Tier 1 and Tier 2 EPC contractors in this sector. We have the expertise to carry out full EPC&M services for electrical and instrumentation works and bring our intrinsic knowledge to measure and automate exploration, production, separation, refining processes, and distribution through our localized services.

Job Description

• Lead full-cycle offshore construction execution for Mechanical, Piping, Electrical & Instrumentation disciplines across multiple platforms, ensuring alignment with EPC contracts, ADNOC specifications, and project KPIs.
• Act as the senior-most authority offshore for coordinating all construction activities, supervising engineers, supervisors, technicians, riggers, fitters, welders, electricians, and instrumentation teams.
• Plan, coordinate, and execute heavy lifting operations for compressors, dryers, receivers, pressure vessels, pipe spools, transformers, MCC/SWGR panels, and skid packages on offshore platforms.
• Review and approve detailed lifting studies, rigging plans, crane load charts, deck loading checks, and engineered lifting procedures.
• Coordinate marine spread operations including crane barges, jack-ups, AHT/Supply vessels for safe equipment positioning.
• Maintain full compliance with ADNOC lifting guidelines, LOLER, API RP 2D, and project HSE standards.
• Provide technical leadership for mechanical installation: equipment alignment, torquing, rotating equipment mounting, skid placement, structural supports, valves, and tie-ins.
• Oversee piping fabrication, offshore spool fit-up, welding, NDT, hydrotesting, reinstatement, and system handover.
• Resolve field-level mechanical/piping clashes, constructability issues, or routing constraints through engineering coordination.
• Coordinate electrical installation activities including cable pulling, termination, tray installation, SWGR/MCC placement, earthing, and electrical testing.
• Lead instrumentation installation: JB mounting, hook-up, loop checking, instrument calibration, and F&G device installation.
• Ensure multidisciplinary work sequences (Mech-Piping-E&I) are synchronized to avoid rework or schedule conflicts.
• Provide expert constructability inputs during design and model reviews (P&IDs, layouts, mechanical GA, piping isometrics, cable routing, and structural layouts).
• Identify and resolve constructability issues early lifting access, deck loading, routing congestion, tie-in locations, equipment footprint limitations, and SIMOPS constraints.
• Ensure engineering deliverables are complete, accurate, and construction-ready before mobilization.
• Develop detailed offshore construction execution plans, priority work fronts, manning plans, heavy lift schedules, and daily/weekly progress strategies.
• Support Planning/PMC/EPC teams in building WBS execution sequences, shutdown logic, SIMOPS integration, and mechanical completion (MC) milestones.
• Monitor daily productivity, progress KPIs, and take corrective action to mitigate delays, constraints, or material shortages.
• Work closely with commissioning teams to ensure readiness for pre-commissioning and commissioning for Mechanical, Piping, Electrical & Instrumentation packages.
• Support mechanical run tests, piping reinstatement verifications, MCC/SWGR energization, instrument loop checks, and cause-effect validation.
• Ensure all systems reach Mechanical Completion, Ready-for-Commissioning (RFC), and Ready-for-Start-Up (RFSU) in accordance with EPC and ADNOC requirements.
• Interface with OEMs (compressors, dryers, MCCs, SWGR, transformers, instrumentation, DCS/ICSS, F&G, valves) for installation, testing, technical issues, and commissioning support.
• Ensure OEM-specific installation requirements, tolerances, alignment procedures, and functional test plans are strictly adhered to.
• Coordinate FAT/SAT findings, site queries, punch points, and engineering clarifications with vendors.
• Lead mobilization planning for offshore construction teams, ensuring ADNOC compliance for: BOSIET / TBOSIET H2S Training Offshore Medical ADNOC PTW, LOTO, confined space, working-at-height certification .
• Ensure competent, certified construction crews and commissioning personnel are deployed and properly rotated by ADNOC POB requirements.
• Promote an uncompromising HSE culture and ensure strict compliance with ADNOC Offshore HSE requirements.
• Lead TRA/JSA workshops, lifting risk assessments, HAZID/HSE reviews, and ensure SIMOPS readiness before mobilization.
• Conduct daily toolbox talks, safety walks, audits, and enforce immediate corrective actions for unsafe acts or conditions.
• Ensure strict adherence to LOTO, hazardous area compliance, dropped-object prevention, hot work isolation, and mechanical/electrical safety protocols.
• Oversee discipline-wise QA/QC activities including welding/NDT acceptance, bolt torquing, alignment, flange management, electrical tests, instrument calibration, and reinstatement checks.
• Ensure punch lists are logged, categorized, assigned, and closed promptly to avoid delays in MC/RFC.
• Maintain full traceability of construction documentation, test packs, redlines, and as-builts.
• Provide daily/weekly progress reports, manpower logs, heavy lift records, delay notifications, offshore constraints, and productivity summaries to EPC management.
• Review and approve work packs, method statements, lifting plans, ITPs, and construction dossiers.
• Manage interface registers, change requests, technical deviations, and field change notices.
• Coordinate with ADNOC Operations for platform shutdowns, isolation plans, LOTO procedures, live-system interactions, and SIMOPS controls.
• Maintain continuous communication with EPC Project Management, Engineering, QC, HSE, Marine, Procurement, and Commissioning teams.
