Oil & Gas, Energy Engineer
We are seeking an experienced Rotating Equipment Engineer to support commissioning, startup, and early operations for a new oil and gas development. This role will play a key part in the transition from project execution to safe, reliable operations across a central processing facility, seawater treatment plant for injection, and drill site.
As part of the Engineering Team, you will work closely with Production Operations, Maintenance, HSE, and Project and Commissioning Teams to ensure a disciplined, safe, and efficient startup and handover.
This is a temporary position supporting a critical startup phase, with an initial duration of 6 months and potential for extension depending on project needs.

- Provide calm, practical troubleshooting during high‑pressure startup conditions
- Bridge the gap between project execution and Operations ownership
- Ensure rotating equipment is transitioned into reliable, sustainable operation

- Work effectively across disciplines and influence without direct authority
- Maintain strong field presence and build trust with Operations and Maintenance teams
- 8+ years of experience in oil and gas or similar industrial environments
- Direct experience supporting commissioning and startup of new facilities
- Strong background in rotating equipment including pumps, compressors, turbines, and generators
