• Provide support during the execution of the Pre-Commissioning, Commissioning & Start-up activities
• Identify solutions to technical problems encountered during operations, which cannot be readily resolved by the operations team on board, including also the related HSE issues.
• Coordinate root cause analysis investigations and prepare relevant reports for operational issues which affects the HSE, the systems availability and the production
• Develop transfer of knowledge and relevant solutions (e.g., feedbacks on solutions assessing/developing how to implement the same solution on the other vessels)
• Along the entire operations life of Production Facilities, provide technical overview of production activities, recommending solutions aimed to guarantee targets achievement, facilitating information exchange and coordinating/optimizing production resources
• Provide technical coordination of operational issues with respect to Corporate Engineering and Procurement departments
• Together with Asset Maintenance dept. prepare and manage planning minimum shut down maintenance (budget, manning, materials, etc.)
• Management of change coordination of any change made to the Production Facilities original design after commissioning and handing over to operations team
• Management of change coordination of the entire process of design change of process/equipment onboard, provide technical support, changes requirements (i.e. HAZID, HAZOP, Risk Assessment) in conjunction with the HSE Dept.
• During bidding phase of a project, provide technical assistance to Proposal Manager as necessary, to ensure that all operational aspects are considered
• During the project execution phase of a new leased Production Facility, provides technical assistance to the Pre-Operations Manager and team on the project as requested
• Smooth transition between Comm and Ops At the time of commissioning and Operations start up of a new leased Production Facility, provide continuous technical assistance to ensure a smooth transition from the commissioning team, deliverables, activities (punch lists, marked-up engineering documents, energized and commissioned systems, etc.) to the commencement of normal operations activities
• Review and comment operating manual and procedures
• Redmark and keep updated engineering documentations as required during comms and ops
• Participate in regular updating procedures and standards to ensure that operations experience on existing vessels is incorporated
