Offshore Field Engineer

Role Summary
The Offshore Field Engineer provides on-site technical, coordination, and execution support for all offshore activities associated with the Decommissioning Project. This role ensures field operations are executed safely, efficiently, and in accordance with engineering deliverables, work packs, procedures, and regulatory requirements. The Offshore Field Engineer acts as the primary technical link between onshore engineering teams and offshore execution crews.

Key Responsibilities

Offshore Technical Support & Execution Coordination

• Provide real-time engineering support to offshore supervisors, vessel crews,
  construction teams, and subsea contractors during execution.
• Interpret engineering drawings, work packs, lift plans, cutting plans, and procedures;
  ensure correct implementation in the field.
• Verify offshore equipment, tools, rigging, consumables, and materials match engineering
  requirements and readiness expectations.

Construction, Marine & Subsea Operations Support

• Support offshore activities such as heavy lifts, subsea retrievals, pipeline/umbilical
  operations, mechanical disconnections, and deck operations.
• Ensure adherence to SIMOPS requirements, exclusion zones, marine coordination
  instructions, and vessel operating envelopes.
• Monitor field operations for sequence accuracy, technical compliance, and safe
  execution.

Work Pack, Procedure & Readiness Verification

• Ensure offshore crews understand the scope, constraints, risk controls, and step-by-step
  sequence contained in work packs and procedures.
• Support readiness by validating offshore documentation, permits, checklists, and
  equipment/crew preparedness.
• Capture as-found conditions, deviations, and field constraints requiring engineering
  updates or MoC.

Quality, SSU & Regulatory Compliance

• Ensure operations comply with Life-Saving Rules, critical SSU controls, and
  environmental/regulatory requirements.
• Document NCRs, CARs, field observations, and improvement actions, escalating as
  required.
• Support regulatory compliance activities involving BSEE, BOEM, USCG, and
  environmental monitoring as applicable.
  Field Reporting, Documentation & Close-Out
• Capture offshore daily progress, quantities, weather impacts, delays, and resource usage
  for reporting to onshore teams.
• Record field redlines, measurements, photos, and evidence to support as-built
  documentation and close-out.
• Provide daily/weekly technical updates to engineering, construction, marine
  coordination, and project management.

Interface & Communication

• Serve as the offshore technical liaison to onshore engineering, construction
  management, marine operations, and project controls.
• Relay field issues, constraints, material shortages, and engineering queries to ensure
  timely resolution.
• Support coordination between vessel command, construction leads, ROV teams, and
  subcontractor field engineers.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in engineering (mechanical, structural, marine, subsea, or related
  discipline) or demonstrated offshore technical experience.
• Offshore engineering/construction experience in decommissioning,
  subsea, marine, or heavy-lift operations.
• Strong understanding of offshore work packs, lifting operations, subsea recovery,
  pipeline/umbilical activities, and vessel operations.
• Familiarity with SIMOPS, ORR/TRR processes, IM/DC systems, and offshore safety and
  regulatory frameworks.
• Strong communication, teamwork, situational awareness, and problem-solving skills in
  dynamic offshore environments.
