• Conduct pre-job safety meetings, toolbox talks, and JSAs for all operational activities.
• Monitor operational parameters, track NPT, and implement efficiency improvements.
• Authorise material and service requisitions within delegated financial authority.
• Report daily operations, costs, and forecasts to the onshore operations team.
• Manage wellsite logistics, personnel movements, and emergency response coordination.
• Ensure proper handover between rotational crews and maintain continuity of operational knowledge.
