The successful candidate will act as the primary technical focal point during the offshore construction phase, ensuring that all installation activities meet project standards, engineering requirements, and operational readiness objectives.As a Pipeline Installation Engineer, you will be responsible for overseeing the full construction and installation lifecycle of the 18‐inch offshore multiphase pipeline, including pipeline manufacturing, CRA cladding technologies, offshore pipelay operations, trenching, subsea tie‐ins, and detailed engineering reviews—ensuring seamless technical execution across vessels, fabrication yards, subsea structures, and all EPCI contractors involved.Roles and Responsibilities:Pipeline Manufacturing & Metallurgy (CRA Focus)o Oversee pipeline manufacturer conditions, ensuring adherence to projectspecifications for Corrosion Resistant Alloys (CRA).o Verify manufacturing, inspection, and testing protocols for Mechanically Lined Pipe(MLP), Hot Roll Bonded (HRB) clad pipes, and Weld Overlay (WOL) components.o Manage technical risks associated with thermal expansion mismatch andmetallurgical bonding during the fabrication and reeling of CRA pipes.• Construction & Installation Oversighto Monitor and supervise daily offshore pipelay operations (S-Lay, J-Lay) aboardcontractor vessels for the 18-inch multiphase line.o Direct and approve welding methodologies specifically for subsea tie-in spools andrisers connecting to the brownfield Sabratha platform.o Review and consent to the EPCI Contractor's Installation Manuals, MethodStatements, and lay-ability analyses (e.g., tension settings, stinger configurations).o Oversee critical offshore operations including shore approach pull-ins, A&R;(Abandonment & Recovery), and subsea tie-ins (PLETs, PLEMs, ILTs).• Trenching & Seabed Interventiono Evaluate and oversee the contractor's method to perform trenching between the twoplatforms across the 43 km route at ~100m water depth.o Verify the selection of seabed intervention equipment (plows, mechanical trenchers)based on geotechnical data and pipe protection requirements.• Detailed Engineering Review (Phase 2 Readiness)o Review detailed pipeline structural and installation analysis (on-bottom stability, freespan, buckle initiation) submitted by EPCM contractors.152o Act as the technical bridge between Phase 1 construction realities and Phase 2detailed engineering requirements.• Interface & Contractor Managemento Resolve technical queries (TQs) regarding offshore welding, NDT, and Field JointCoating (FJC) applications for CRA and clad pipes.o Ensure ENI standards are not compromised by contractor schedule pressures duringcritical offshore tie-ins.Qualifications, Experience, Knowledge and Skills:Bachelor of Science Degree (BSc) in Mechanical, Marine, or Pipeline Engineering from anaccredited university.• Work experience of twelve (12) years in the O&G; sector, with at least seven (7) yearsspecifically dedicated to offshore pipeline installation and construction oversight.• Mandatory Expertise: Proven field and manufacturing experience with CRA claddingtechnologies (MLP, HRB, WOL).• Strong practical knowledge of deepwater trenching methodologies, tie-in spool fabrication,and riser installation.• Demonstrated capability in detailed offshore pipeline analysis (software familiarity such asAbaqus, CAESAR II, or SESAM is an advantage for Phase 2 readiness).Key Responsibilities:• Construction & Installation Oversighto Monitor and supervise daily offshore pipelay operations (S-Lay, J-Lay) aboard contractorvessels.o Review and consent to the EPCI Contractor's Installation Manuals, Method Statements,and layability analyses (e.g., tension settings, stinger configurations).o Oversee critical offshore operations including shore approach pull-ins, A&R;(Abandonment & Recovery), and subsea tie-ins (PLETs, PLEMs, ILTs).• Welding, NDT & Coating Verificationo Monitor the contractor's offshore firing line, ensuring strict adherence to approvedWelding Procedure Specifications (WPS).o Verify the execution and calibration of Automated Ultrasonic Testing (AUT) and other NDTmethods during the lay campaign.o Supervise Field Joint Coating (FJC) applications (e.g., FBE, IMPP) ensuring correct cycletimes and induction heating parameters are met.• Trenching & Seabed Interventiono Oversee post-lay trenching and backfilling operations, verifying that required burialdepths and seabed intervention targets are achieved.o Monitor pre-lay and post-lay ROV survey data to identify and remediate free-spans.• Pre-Commissioning & Handover153o Review procedures and witness offshore pre-commissioning activities includingFlooding, Cleaning, Gauging, Hydrostatic Testing, and Dewatering/Drying.o Ensure proper compilation and review of as-built documentation and offshore dailyprogress reports (DPRs).• Interface & Contractor Managemento Act as the PMC representative aboard the lay-barge when required, resolving dailytechnical queries (TQs) and ensuring ENI standards are not compromised by contractorschedule pressures.Hill International provides program, project, and construction management services for clients in a range of sectors undertaking major construction projects across the world. xpavfwm Our services include cost engineering and estimating, quality assurance, inspection, scheduling, risk management, and claims avoidance.
