Senior Project Interface Engineer – Offshore FEED Project

The Senior Project Interface Engineer is responsible for managing, coordinating, and controlling all technical and organizational interfaces during the FEED phase of offshore oil & gas projects. The role ensures seamless integration across multiple disciplines, contractors, and stakeholders, minimizing conflicts and ensuring alignment with client standards, project schedule, and technical requirements.

• Develop and implement the Interface Management Plan (IMP) for the project.
• Identify, define, and manage all internal and external interfaces across engineering disciplines and project packages.
• Establish and maintain an Interface Register and ensure proper tracking and closure of interface issues.
• Act as the focal point for interface coordination between client, PMC, EPC contractors, and vendors.
• Ensure integration of FEED deliverables across disciplines (process, piping, structural, electrical, instrumentation, subsea).
• Coordinate design interfaces between offshore facilities, pipelines, subsea systems, and brownfield tie‑ins.
• Verify that interface requirements are clearly defined and incorporated into engineering designs.
• Monitor EPC contractor interface management activities and compliance with project procedures.
• Review contractor interface registers, interface agreements, and coordination documents.
• Facilitate regular interface meetings and technical workshops.
• Resolve interface conflicts and escalate critical issues when required.
• Identify and evaluate interface risks and potential conflicts.
• Develop mitigation strategies to address interface‑related risks.
• Ensure timely resolution of interface issues to avoid delays and rework.
• Support HAZID/HAZOP and constructability reviews from an interface perspective.
• Coordinate with planning and project controls teams to ensure interface alignment with project schedules.
• Monitor interface milestones and highlight potential impacts on project timelines.
• Support development of mitigation and recovery plans for interface delays.
• Liaise with ADNOC Offshore, EPC contractors, vendors, and third‑party stakeholders.
• Ensure clear communication of interface requirements, responsibilities, and deliverables.
• Prepare and present interface status reports to senior management.
• Assess and manage changes affecting interfaces and evaluate impacts on scope, cost, and schedule.
• Maintain documentation including interface registers, interface agreements, meeting minutes, and action trackers.
• Ensure proper documentation and audit compliance for all interface activities.
• Ensure interface activities comply with project HSE policies and ADNOC standards.
• Promote safe design practices and ensure ALARP principles are considered.
• Ensure quality and consistency across interface deliverables.

• Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, or equivalent)
• Master’s degree is an advantage

• Strong understanding of offshore facilities, subsea systems, and pipeline interfaces
• Familiarity with ADNOC standards and international codes (API, ISO, ASME, IEC)
• Knowledge of interface management tools and systems

• Strong interface management and coordination skills
• Excellent stakeholder and communication abilities
• Problem‑solving and conflict resolution expertise
• Strong organizational and multitasking capabilities
• Ability to manage complex, multi‑interface environments

• Minimum overall 15+ years of experience in the oil and gas sector.
• Minimum 5–7 years in offshore FEED / detailed engineering projects.
• Experience in WHT, subsea pipeline installation, and marine operations.
• 12–15+ years of experience in oil & gas project engineering.
• Prior experience in PMC / ADNOC Offshore projects is highly preferred.
• Proven experience in interface management roles within PMC or EPC organizations.
