Superintendent, Mechanical Commissioning

Description JOB PURPOSE / OBJECTIVE To plan, coordinate, and lead the execution of mechanical pre-commissioning and commissioning activities for offshore jack-up rig systems including drilling, marine, jacking, power, and utility systems while ensuring compliance with project specifications, class requirements (ABS/DNV), regulatory standards, and safety procedures, to achieve safe, efficient, and timely delivery of a fully tested, certified, and operational rig ready for client acceptance and offshore deployment. Key Accountabilities - Commissioning Planning & Execution - Develop detailed commissioning procedures, test packs, checklists, and execution plans for all mechanical and marine systems. - Review offshore rig mechanical designs, P&IDs, general arrangements (GA), system boundaries, and vendor documentation. - Lead MC and commissioning phases from pre-commissioning through functional testing and final acceptance. - Organize and execute FAT, HAT, and SAT for mechanical and drilling equipment. - Ensure all activities comply with class certification and regulatory requirements (ABS/DNV/SOLAS/API). - Offshore Mechanical Systems Commissioning Lead commissioning for the following jack-up rig systems: A. Drilling Package - Commission and verify operation of drilling equipment including Drawworks, top drive, rotary table, drives. Derrick. - Execute testing and commissioning of Mud pumps, mud mixing, and mud handling systems. - Oversee commissioning of solids control equipment including Shale shakers, mud-gas separator, degasser, centrifuges. - Validate installation and functionality of BOP handling & well-control mechanical equipment. - Test and certify Choke & kill manifold mechanical components. B. Marine & Jacking Systems - Lead commissioning of Jacking units, rack-and-pinion systems, lubrication, and brake systems. - Supervise commissioning of Leg handling, preload, and skidding systems. - Commission Ballast, bilge, and seawater cooling systems. - Verify operation of Fire main, sprinkler pumps, and deluge mechanical systems. - Oversee commissioning of HVAC mechanical components. (AHUs, chillers, fans, dampers) C. Power & Utility Systems - Commission Diesel engines, generators, and mechanical auxiliaries. - Execute commissioning of Air compressors, dryers, and pneumatic systems. - Validate performance of Fuel oil, lube oil, cooling water, and freshwater systems. - Lead testing and commissioning of Cranes, winches, and deck machinery. - Verify mechanical integrity of emergency and safety systems 3. Interface Management & Coordination - Act as the key interface between construction, engineering, electrical, instrumentation, marine, and drilling disciplines. - Coordinate activities with OEM vendor representatives during installation, testing, and troubleshooting. - Participate in commissioning meetings, progress reporting, and HSE briefings. - Support integration testing between marine, drilling, and jacking systems. - Safety, Regulatory & Class Compliance - Implement offshore safety standards (PTW, JSA, SIMOPS, LOTO). - Ensure all commissioning activities follow class rules (ABS, DNV) and international standards (API, IMO, SOLAS). - Lead punch list creation, categorization, and closure for mechanical systems. - Participate in HAZOP, HAZID, and system readiness reviews. Ensure documentation aligns with project turnover requirements and offshore audit expectations. - Troubleshooting & Technical Support - Resolve mechanical, hydraulic, and rotating equipment issues during commissioning. - Identify design or installation deviations and propose corrective actions. - Support performance testing and initial rig startup offshore or at shipyard. - Provide technical guidance to junior engineers and commissioning technicians. - Handover & Completion - Ensure all MC and commissioning documentation is complete and accurate. - Prepare turnover dossiers for mechanical systems (ITRs, test reports, redlines). - Support final acceptance tests and assist the rig crew during start-up and first well operations. - Deliver a fully commissioned jack-up rig ready for offshore deployment. Requirements QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE Education - Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or related discipline. Professional Qualifications (Certifications & Accreditations) - Omega 365 PIMS knowledge will benefit. - Drilling Equipment, Marine Systems & Jacking System knowledge will benefit. Experience - 8–15+ years' experience in Mechanical commissioning on new build offshore rigs. (Jack-up Rig) Languages - Excellent Communication Skills (oral and written) in the English.
