Installation engineering manager - pipeline removal

Ph3Project Scope /h3 pThe assignment covers the engineering and offshore execution witness phases of a subsea pipeline decommissioning project off the coast of Gela, Sicily. The pipeline to be removed contains asbestos, introducing specific regulatory, procedural, and HSE constraints that must be fully integrated into the installation engineering methodology from the earliest stages. The Installation Engineering Manager leads a four-person engineering team - comprising structural, lifting analysis, and drafting resources - and is the primary technical authority for the removal scope. /p h3Role /h3 pTo lead the installation engineering team on the pipeline removal project - developing the full engineering methodology, managing the structural, lifting analysis, and drafting resources, and ensuring all documentation is produced to the required standard and schedule - through to offshore witness of the removal operations at Gela in September - October 2026. /p pReporting line: You will report to the Project Manager and act as the primary technical interface for installation engineering, leading a team of three engineers and interfacing with the client, regulatory authorities, and offshore operations teams throughout the project. /p h3Key responsibilities /h3 h3Installation engineering management /h3 ul liLead and manage the installation engineering team: structural engineer, lifting analysis engineer, and draftsman /li liDevelop and own the installation engineering methodology for the removal of the asbestos-containing pipeline /li liOversee production of all installation engineering documentation: method statements, installation procedures, rigging studies, and execution plans /li liEnsure full integration of asbestos regulatory requirements and HSE constraints into the engineering methodology from the outset /li /ul h3Lifting marine operations engineering /h3 ul liLead the development and review of lifting studies and marine lifting analysis for the pipeline removal operations /li liDefine and validate rigging configurations, lift plans, and associated structural checks in coordination with the lifting analysis engineer /li liEnsure all lifting and marine operations are engineered to applicable standards and client requirements /li /ul h3Cross-discipline coordination client interface /h3 ul liInterface with the client's project management team, regulatory authorities, and the offshore operations team throughout the engineering phase /li liCoordinate engineering inputs from structural, lifting, and drafting disciplines to ensure consistency and schedule compliance /li liSupport preparation of regulatory submissions and authority approvals as required for the asbestos removal scope /li /ul h3Offshore witness /h3 ul liProvide technical oversight and engineering support during offshore execution -
