Engineering Manager

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and coordinate the Nigerian engineering team: allocate work, set priorities, and check the quality of output before it is issued.
• Lead the joint site assessment at the terminal and close out the site data the design depends on: tie-in point, plot, power supply interface, firewater, and fire and gas interfaces.
• Organize the company's review of engineering partner deliverables ahead of each gate: assign reviewers, consolidate comments, and track them to close-out.
• Manage the civil/structural and technical safety subcontracts: scope, deliverables, schedule, and verification of invoices against progress.
• Act as the client's routine point of contact in Nigeria, prepare each gate with the Project Manager, and report Nigerian content in line with NCDMB requirements.
• Prepare the technical content of regulatory submissions and support regulatory engagement, which is routed through the client.
• Recruit, coach and appraise the engineers, and prepare the team to carry the design into detailed engineering.

Role

• Head the company's engineering group in Nigeria. On the FEED, this position leads the Nigeria site and in-country work and coordinates every Nigerian engineering activity so that it supports the programme and gates run from the engineering hub in Canada.

• At least 15 years in upstream oil and gas facilities engineering, including at least 5 years leading multidiscipline engineering teams.
• Has taken at least one FEED or detailed design from kick-off to completion, preferably on a producing (brownfield) terminal or flow station.
• Working knowledge of Nigerian regulatory requirements (NUPRC, EGASPIN, NCDMB).
• Experience of HAZID/HAZOP and of managing engineering subcontractors; produced water experience an advantage.
• Right to live and work in Nigeria, with an NYSC discharge or exemption certificate.
• Willingness to stay at a Niger Delta terminal for periods of up to 30 days when the work requires it.
• Must be willing to work unconventional hours due to the time difference of the parent company which is Canada based.
