Construction Manager Jobs in Abu Dhabi, UAE/Dubai at Emirates Electrical & Instrumentation Company
Overview
Lead full-cycle offshore construction execution for Mechanical, Piping, Electrical & Instrumentation disciplines across multiple platforms, ensuring alignment with EPC contracts, ADNOC specifications, and project KPIs.
Act as the senior-most authority offshore for coordinating all construction activities and supervising engineers, supervisors, technicians, riggers, fitters, welders, electricians, and instrumentation teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Plan, coordinate and execute heavy lifting operations for compressors, dryers, receivers, pressure vessels, pipe spools, transformers, MCC SWGR panels, and skid packages on offshore platforms.
- Review and approve detailed lifting studies, rigging plans, crane load charts, deck loading checks, and engineered lifting procedures.
- Coordinate marine spread operations including crane barges, jack-ups, AHT Supply vessels for safe equipment positioning.
- Maintain full compliance with ADNOC lifting guidelines, LOLER, API RP 2D, and project HSE standards.
- Provide technical leadership for mechanical installation, equipment alignment, torquing, rotating equipment mounting, skid placement, structural supports, valves and tie‑ins.
- Oversee piping fabrication, offshore spool fit‑up, welding, NDT, hydrotesting, reinstatement and system handover.
- Resolve field‑level mechanical piping clashes, constructability issues or routing constraints through engineering coordination.
- Coordinate electrical installation activities including cable pulling, termination, tray installation, SWGR MCC placement, earthing and electrical testing.
- Lead instrumentation installation: JB mounting, hook‑up, loop checking, instrument calibration and F&G device installation.
- Ensure multidisciplinary work sequences (Mech & Piping & Instrumentation) are synchronized to avoid rework or schedule conflicts.
- Provide expert constructability inputs during design and model reviews of P&Ids, layouts, mechanical GA, piping isometrics, cable routing and structural layouts.
- Identify and resolve constructability issues early: lifting access, deck loading, routing congestion, tie‑in locations, equipment footprint limitations and SIMOPS constraints.
- Ensure engineering deliverables are complete, accurate and construction‑ready before mobilization.
- Develop detailed offshore construction execution plans, priority work fronts, manning plans, heavy lift schedules and daily/weekly progress strategies.
- Support Planning/PMC/EPC teams in building WBS execution sequences, shutdown logic, SIMOPS integration and mechanical completion milestones.
- Monitor daily productivity, progress KPIs and take corrective action to mitigate delays, constraints or material shortages.
- Work closely with commissioning teams to ensure readiness for pre‑commissioning and commissioning for Mechanical, Piping, Electrical & Instrumentation packages.
- Support mechanical run‑tests, piping reinstatement verifications, MCC SWGR energization, instrument loop checks and cause‑effect validation.
- Ensure all systems reach Mechanical Completion, Ready‑for‑Commissioning (RFC) and Ready‑for‑Start‑Up (RFSU) in accordance with EPC and ADNOC requirements.
- Interface with OEMs (compressors, dryers, MCCs, SWGR, transformers, instrumentation, DCS, ICSS, F&G valves) for installation, testing, technical issues and commissioning support.
- Ensure OEM‑specific installation requirements, tolerances, alignment procedures and functional test plans are strictly adhered to.
- Coordinate FAT/SAT findings, site queries, punch points and engineering clarifications with vendors.
- Lead mobilization planning for offshore construction teams ensuring ADNOC compliance for BOSIET, TBOSIET, H2S, Offshore Medical, ADNOC PTW, LOTO, confined space and working‑at‑height certification.
- Ensure competent, certified construction crews and commissioning personnel are deployed and properly rotated per ADNOC POB requirements.
- Promote an uncompromising HSE culture and ensure strict compliance with ADNOC Offshore HSE requirements.
- Lead TRA/JSA workshops, lifting risk assessments, HAZID, HSE reviews and ensure SIMOPS readiness before mobilization.
- Conduct daily toolbox talks, safety walks, audits and enforce immediate…
