The Mechanical Supervisor oversees all mechanical activities during offshore shutdowns, ensuring safe, efficient, and timely execution of maintenance, repairs, and installations.

Key responsibilities include

1. Shutdown Execution: o Supervise mechanical teams (technicians, contractors) in tasks like valve replacements, pump overhauls, piping repairs, and turbine maintenance. o Ensure work aligns with the shutdown schedule and critical path.
2. HSE & Compliance: o Enforce strict adherence to HSE policies (PTW, LOTO, confined space entry, etc.). o Conduct toolbox talks, risk assessments, and safety inspections.
3. Quality Control: o Verify that mechanical work meets engineering standards (ASME, API, ANSI). o Oversee non-destructive testing (NDT) and hydrostatic tests.
4. Coordination: o Liaise with engineers, planners, and other disciplines (e.g., electrical, instrumentation). o Report daily progress to the Shutdown Manager.
5. Troubleshooting: o Resolve technical issues during execution (e.g., alignment problems, material defects).
