Senior Mechanical Engineer

As Project Senior Mechanical Engineer, you will be responsible for the preparation, execution and close-out of mechanical work packages for FPSO life extension, overhaul, repair and recertification activities. The role combines engineering expertise with hands-on shipyard supervision, acting as the designated Mechanical Work Package Owner and ensuring that all activities are delivered safely, effi-ciently and in accordance with project requirements.

You will prepare and manage life extension yard work packages covering the overhaul and recertifi-cation of existing mechanical equipment on the FPSO. During the shipyard phase, you will supervise execution of these scopes, coordinate with contractors and shipyard disciplines, resolve technical is-sues and ensure that work is completed to the required quality, schedule and cost.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as Mechanical Work Package Owner for assigned FPSO overhaul, life extension, repair and recertification scopes from engineering preparation through execution, mechanical completion and close-out.
• Develop detailed yard work packs, including scope definition, drawings, specifications, mate-rial requirements, inspection and testing requirements, method statements and completion documentation.
• Provide hands-on technical supervision of mechanical work scopes within a shipyard envi-ronment, ensuring work is executed safely, efficiently and in accordance with approved engi-neering and project requirements.
• Coordinate daily with shipyard supervisors, contractors, subcontractors, engineering teams, inspection personnel and project management to ensure effective execution of work packag-es.
• Monitor work progress, identify potential delays and technical constraints, and implement practical solutions to maintain project schedule and productivity.
• Review and approve technical solutions, repair methods, modifications and maintenance scopes in accordance with applicable regulatory, class and company standards.
• Support mechanical completion, punch-list management, commissioning, testing and final handover of completed work scopes.
• Prepare and supervise overhaul, inspection, NDT, pressure testing, leak testing, FAT and recertification activities for mechanical equipment and piping systems.
• Ensure compliance with DNV Class requirements, applicable legislation, engineering stand-ards, HSE requirements and company procedures.
• Provide technical leadership, coaching and mentoring to engineers, supervisors, new staff and offshore personnel.
• Support troubleshooting, condition monitoring and root cause analysis for mechanical equip-ment and systems.
• Maintain effective relationships with clients, shipyard personnel, suppliers and contractors to ensure timely and cost-effective delivery.
• Contribute to HSE, quality assurance and continuous improvement initiatives throughout the shipyard execution phase.

Technical Expertise

• Extensive experience with rotating machinery, including gas turbines/generators, gas com-pressors, diesel engines, electric generators, pumps and cranes.
• Strong knowledge of mechanical integrity, piping systems, valves, flange management and associated inspection and testing requirements.
• Experience with pipe and vessel repair methods, material selection, NDT requirements and pressure/leak testing.
• Experience preparing and witnessing equipment Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT).
• Experience with equipment preservation, including static and rotating equipment, and prepa-ration of preservation strategies and procedures.
• Experience supporting FPSO decommissioning, disconnect and yard mobilisation activities.
• Experience developing and implementing condition monitoring, maintenance, inspection and procurement strategies.
• Proven ability to troubleshoot complex mechanical issues and develop fit-for-purpose repair and modification solutions.
• Experience working within a regulated offshore/shipyard environment with strong focus on mechanical integrity and process safety.
