JOB DESCRIPTION

Wood is a global engineering and construction firm dedicated to providing innovative and sustainable solutions to our clients in the oil and gas industry.

  • Conduct feasibility studies and risk assessments to identify potential hazards and mitigation measures associated with decommissioning activities.
  • Review and evaluate vendor proposals and technical documentation to ensure alignment with project requirements and specifications.
  • Interface with clients, regulatory agencies, and third-party contractors to address technical inquiries, resolve engineering issues, and facilitate project approvals.
  • Participate in project meetings, design reviews, and HAZOP/HAZID sessions to ensure effective communication and coordination among project teams.
  • Monitor project progress and performance metrics, identifying opportunities for optimization and efficiency improvements.
  • Foster a culture of safety, quality, and environmental stewardship, ensuring that all engineering activities are conducted in accordance with company policies and procedures.

  • Proficiency in industry-standard software tools, such as AutoCAD, CAESAR II, and PDMS/AVEVA, for engineering design and analysis.
  • Strong leadership and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively communicate and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and stakeholders.
  • Excellent problem-solving and decision-making abilities, with a keen attention to detail and a focus on delivering high-quality engineering solutions.
  • Familiarity with industry regulations and standards governing offshore decommissioning activities, including API, ISO, and OSHA requirements.
  • Willingness to travel to offshore facilities and project sites as needed to support engineering activities and project execution.
