Support measurement and allocation processes.
Support production chemistry and flow assurance teams.
Support SEMS processes (MOC's, Document Control).
Lead and participate PHA, risk, and API 14C reviews.
Assist with regulatory submittals (BSEE, USCG, ABS) and technical code equivalencies.
Assist with preparation and submittals for temporary packages, i.e. flowback.
Support brownfield modifications, life-extension projects, reliability upgrades, tie-back scopes and emissions abatement projects.
Supervise and add technical support where necessary for:
Developing or altering standard project specifications to meet project requirements.
Performing technical quality checking of facility drawings and other documents. Verify correctness of design and engineering data.
Sizing calculations for process equipment, piping, in-line instruments, valves, and pipelines using various tools.
Reviewing and approving key engineering drawings and calculations, including field and design documents.
Gathering data, including site surveys and existing conditions data to facilitate accurate design basis.
Developing and oversight of drawings (P&ID's, SFD's, SAFE Charts, GA's, Hazardous Area Classifications).
Be familiar with project systems to include mechanical, structural, civil, marine/naval, and electrical components to allow for consideration of these aspects in a project or area design.
Review vendor/fabricator quotes and select appropriate suppliers.
