Senior Project Engineer (Structural) McDermott Middle East - Qatar Branch

Leads the discipline production engineering team, drafting squad leaders, material controllers etc. to meet project fabrication requirements.
Technically capable in strategizing and delivering the discipline level fabrication efforts for complex EPIC projects.
Manage inter/ intra– functional interfaces at discipline level for fabrication portion of project with minimal guidance.
Responsible for optimal utilization and developing of the discipline team assigned on project.

Key Tasks and Responsibilities:

• Understand the overall project scope of work to lead and guide the discipline production engineering team to meet project fabrication deliverables in line with fabrication sequence/ schedule. Eg: identify discipline constructability requirements, Issuance of approved workpack index, ensuring all deliverables (drawings & materials) are available to issue workpacks, workpack issue, assembly check list issue, change management like MOC/ SQS/ TQ/ VO, issue subcon RFQ’s/ SWO’s etc.  

• Manages discipline level project fabrication progress within schedule, and productivity within targeted budget in coordination with project Operations Engineer.
