Lead HSE Technical Engineer Offshore Project

Position: Lead HSE Technical Engineer [Offshore Project]

Job Description

Role Purpose

To lead and manage all Technical HSE engineering activities for offshore projects and utility upgrade projects at Umm Shaif Super Complex (USSC), ensuring full compliance with ADNOC Offshore HSE standards, UAE regulations, and international codes.

The role ensures risk identification, ALARP demonstration, process safety integrity, and safe execution across FEED, EPC, construction, commissioning, and offshore operations, in coordination with Engineering Subcontractors, ADNOC Offshore teams, OEMs, and site personnel.

HSE Leadership & Compliance Management

• Serve as the Lead HSE focal point for all offshore platform activities—engineering, construction, demolition, commissioning—ensuring full compliance with ADNOC Offshore HSE Standards, CoPs, PTW guidelines, and ADNOC Codes of Practice.
• Establish, implement, and monitor the Project HSE Plan, bridging documents, SIMOPS plans, and risk management frameworks for brownfield offshore execution.

HSE Workshops During Design & Engineering Stage

Lead and facilitate all HSE workshops during design including:

• HAZID, HAZOP (HSE-related sections), PHSER (Phase I–V), SIMOPS Review
• Constructability Review
• TRA / Task Risk Assessment workshops

Ensure that all engineering deliverables incorporate safety requirements, human‑factor considerations, emergency access / egress, lifting access, hazardous area compliance, and ADNOC HSE clarifications.

Coordinate with Engineering Team to ensure early HSE deliverable readiness (HSE plans, risk registers, safety studies, hazardous area classification, dropped‑object prevention design, etc.).

Offshore HSE Execution During Demolition Works

• Develop and validate offshore demolition HSE procedures covering isolation plans, LOTO requirements, removal of energized systems, hazardous material identification, waste handling, and SIMOPS controls.
• Monitor high‑risk demolition activities, ensuring strict adherence to ADNOC guidelines regarding hot work in classified areas, dropped objects, working at height, confined spaces, and mechanical / electrical isolations.
• Ensure TRA and job‑specific hazard controls are communicated and implemented for every demolition task.

Offshore HSE Oversight During Construction Activities

• Oversee day‑to‑day construction HSE compliance for mechanical, piping, electrical, instrumentation, structural, lifting, and heavy equipment installation activities.
• Enforce ADNOC safety rules regarding lifting operations, rigging, crane activities, deck loading, and marine spread coordination.
• Ensure all construction work is executed as per ADNOC PTW system, ensuring correct permits are in place (Hot Work, Cold Work, Electrical Isolation, Confined Space, Working at Height, SIMOPS PTW).
• Monitor compliance of workforce with PPE, safe access / egress, barricading, housekeeping, and hazardous area classifications.

HSE During Pre‑Commissioning & Commissioning

• Coordinate HSE activities for energization, leak testing, flushing, rotating equipment checks, electrical testing, and instrument loop checks.
• Ensure safe implementation of Commissioning LOTO, energization protocols, gas testing, and system reinstatement procedures.
• Monitor completion of all pre‑startup safety reviews, system safety checks, emergency response readiness, and platform reinstatement.

ADNOC Offshore Crew Mobilization & Compliance

• BOSIET / T‑BOSIET, H2S OSH, Offshore Medical Fitness, ADNOC PTW Competency
• ADNOC LOTO Authorization, verify certification validity, training matrices, and ensure compliance audits for all third‑party and subcontractor workforce.

Incident Prevention, Investigation & Reporting

• Lead all incident and near‑miss investigations, applying root‑cause analysis (RCA), and ensure corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) are implemented.
• Maintain ADNOC‑compliant reporting for HSE KPIs, Leading & Lagging indicators, HSE Dashboards, and Safety Alerts.
• Conduct trend analysis to proactively identify potential risks and develop strategic controls.

SIMOPS, Emergency Response & Operational Safety

• Develop and oversee SIMOPS plans for demolition–construction–commissioning phases operating alongside live ADNOC production facilities.
• Ensure emergency…
