Position Overview

The Maintenance Engineer is responsible for the planning, coordination, and execution of maintenance activities on offshore production facilities, ensuring that all mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation systems are maintained to the highest standards of safety and reliability. This role bridges the gap between operations and engineering, optimizing maintenance strategies to maximize production availability while managing costs and risks.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and coordinate preventive, corrective, and predictive maintenance activities for all offshore equipment
• Develop and optimize maintenance strategies using RCM (Reliability-Centered Maintenance) and RCA (Root Cause Analysis) methodologies
• Manage the offshore CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) including work order planning, scheduling, and backlog management
• Lead planned shutdown and turnaround preparation and execution for offshore maintenance campaigns
• Coordinate with operations, engineering, and supply chain teams to ensure timely availability of spares, services, and contractor resources
• Conduct reliability analysis including bad actor identification, MTBF/MTTR tracking, and availability improvement initiatives
• Manage and supervise offshore maintenance contractors and vendor representatives
• Develop and review method statements and risk assessments for maintenance activities
• Support emergency maintenance response and provide technical guidance during equipment failures
• Implement condition-based monitoring programmes (vibration, thermography, oil analysis) to optimize maintenance intervals
• Champion continuous improvement initiatives and lessons learned from maintenance events
• Ensure all maintenance activities comply with regulatory requirements and permit-to-work systems

Qualifications

Required

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Multidisciplinary Engineering
