Mechanical Supervisor

Target Industry: Petrochemical / Oil & Gas / Fertilizer

Employment Type: 2 years

Minimum Experience: 5 Years (Operating Plant)

The Mechanical Supervisor is responsible for studying and developing conceptual designs preparing detailed engineering solutions and planning monitoring and coordinating all assigned facility modifications and projects. Acting as a key technical focal point for both in-house and subcontracted engineering the position ensures all plant modifications conform strictly to industry best practices operating safety procedures and corporate engineering standards.

Primary Objective: Direct and oversee site mechanical construction piping fabrication and equipment pre-commissioning phases executed by annual and EPC contractors delivering compliant high-quality and cost-effective engineering solutions.

• Construction & Commissioning Supervision: Supervise and coordinate the construction and pre-commissioning phases of major and minor plant modifications executed by annual term and EPC contractors.
• Contractor Work Oversight: Monitor contractor field activities to guarantee execution strictly within defined scopes of work controlling costs while maintaining high quality standards.
• Drawing & Document Verification: Thoroughly review modification approval drawings and documents against P&IDs performing field site verifications to resolve construction deficiencies.
• Material Procurement & Management: Liaise with internal departments for timely material availability; issue warehouse material requisitions and source local supplier inventory for shortages.
• Rigging & Lifting Execution: Formulate safety documentation including Job Risk Assessments (JRA) Job Safety Analyses (JSA) Method Statements Rigging Studies and Lifting Plans for heavy structural and equipment erection.
• Permit to Work (PTW) Management: Arrange specialized work permits conduct contractor safety hazard briefings and enforce continuous compliance with corporate safety rules and plant regulations.

• Piping & Structural Erection: Direct and inspect piping pre-fabrication and erection across diverse metallurgy including Carbon Steel Alloy Steel Stainless Steel and GRP alongside heavy structural steel platforms.
• Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Coordinate directly with the Quality & Inspection section to schedule and execute all required Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and weld quality checks.
• Field Design Modifications: Identify necessary technical field changes during construction phases drafting formal engineering modification proposals for section approval.
• Punch List Management: Conduct pre-handover field inspections compile punch point lists and verify that final physical installations mirror approved engineering studies.
• Pre-Commissioning & Handover: Interface closely with the Production Department and multi-disciplinary engineering teams to facilitate safe pre-commissioning commissioning and formal operational handover.
• As-Built Documentation & Closeout: Prepare exact post-construction as-built drawings (isometrics piping layout plans) and publish complete technical project closeout reports.
• Planning & Financial Control: Monitor detailed project schedules and progress milestones; report status directly to the Construction Engineer to prevent cost overruns manpower inefficiencies or commissioning delays. Check and certify contractor invoices according to contract terms.

Safety and Quality compliance are essential pillars of this role. The Mechanical Supervisor must strictly adhere to and enforce all quality health safety and environmental management procedures. Responsibilities include active participation in formal modification reviews Hazard and Operability Studies (HAZOP) process safety reviews and maintain updated safety system documentation.
