Engineering Manager

Responsibilities:

Engineering Leadership & Technical Governance:

• Lead, plan, and coordinate all engineering activities across Concept, FEED, and Detailed Design phases.
• Serve as final technical authority across multi-disciplinary engineering scopes (Process, Piping, Mechanical, Electrical, Civil/Structural, E&I, Corrosion, and Safety).
• Establish, enforce, and continuously improve engineering standards, procedures, and design philosophies.
• Review, approve, and sign off on engineering deliverables in compliance with applicable codes, standards, and client requirements.
• Ensure safety, operability, maintainability, and constructability are embedded into all engineering designs.

Engineering–Construction Interface & Execution Alignment:

• Act as the primary engineering authority responsible for alignment with Construction and Fabrication teams.
• Lead early and continuous constructability reviews involving Construction, Fabrication, and Installation teams.
• Ensure engineering designs reflect site conditions, fabrication capacity, installation methodologies, sequencing, and logistics constraints.
• Ensure timely issuance of AFC (Approved for Construction) deliverables aligned with project schedules.
• Lead resolution of engineering queries, RFIs, technical deviations, and field changes during construction and installation.
• Capture construction feedback and lessons learned into continuous engineering improvement.

Project Engineering Oversight & Execution Control:

• Provide oversight across all engineering projects to ensure delivery on scope, schedule, cost, and quality.
• Monitor engineering progress, milestones, and interfaces with Project Management, Procurement, Construction, and HSE.
• Lead resolution of technical issues impacting project execution and cost or schedule risk.
• Manage engineering changes, deviations, and scope control to minimise execution impact.
• Support construction, fabrication, installation, and commissioning phases with timely technical input.

Engineering Team Management & Resource Planning:

• Lead and manage the Engineering Design Team, including discipline leads, project engineers, and engineering staff.
• Assign Engineering Project Managers / Leads based on project complexity, risk, and capability.
• Plan and manage engineering resource allocation across multiple concurrent projects.
• Define clear roles, responsibilities, and accountability frameworks within the engineering organisation.
• Support recruitment, onboarding, mentoring, and succession planning for engineering personnel.

Performance Management, QA/QC & Risk Management:

• Implement and enforce robust engineering QA/QC processes and design review systems.
• Ensure compliance with regulatory, statutory, client, and corporate requirements.
• Identify engineering risks early and implement mitigation strategies
• Oversee management of technical deviations, non-conformances, and corrective actions.
• Define, track, and report engineering performance metrics, including:
• Schedule adherence
• Man-hour productivity
• Rework and error rates
• Resource utilization
• Use performance metrics to drive continuous improvement, capability development, and delivery excellence.

Business Development, Clients & Stakeholder Interface:

• Provide technical support to Business Development during opportunity identification, bid pursuits, and tender preparation.
• Review RFQs, ITTs, scopes of work, and technical requirements to define optimal execution strategies.
• Oversee preparation of technical proposals, methodologies, engineering deliverables, schedules, and man-hour estimates.
• Support technical clarifications, bid defences, and client engagements as required.
• Act as senior technical interface with clients, partners, vendors, and regulatory bodies.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Civil/Structural, Electrical, Process, or related discipline).
• Master’s degree is an added advantage.
• Typically 12+ years of Oil & Gas engineering experience, with significant leadership responsibility in EPC/EPCIC environments.
• Strong knowledge of engineering design workflows, project execution, and international standards (API, ASME, ISO, IEC, DNV, CSA, etc.).
• Proven experience leading multi-disciplinary engineering teams across multiple projects.
• Demonstrated involvement in bid support, tendering, and technical/commercial evaluations.
• Strong leadership, decision-making, and stakeholder management skills.
• Professional certification (COREN, PMP, or equivalent) is highly preferred
