Project: Dhofar II Wind IPP
Location: Dhofar, Sultanate of Oman
Function: Engineering / Project Execution
Role Purpose
Responsible for supervising and coordinating mechanical installation, erection, testing and commissioning activities at the wind project site. The role will ensure WTG mechanical works are executed safely, efficiently, and in accordance with approved drawings, OEM requirements, project specifications, quality standards and applicable HSSE requirements.
Key Responsibilities
1. Site Supervision & Installation Logistics
- Heavy-Lift Coordination: Coordinate crane operations, lifting activities and erection sequences for WTG tower sections, nacelles, hubs and blades.
- WTG Installation: Supervise mechanical erection and installation activities and ensure compliance with approved procedures and OEM requirements.
- Component Assembly: Oversee turbine mechanical assembly, including hub assembly, drivetrain/alignment requirements and rotor installation.
- Site Coordination: Monitor mechanical work fronts, manpower, tools, equipment and installation readiness to support the project schedule.
- Troubleshooting: Resolve mechanical and installation-related issues in coordination with the OEM, EPC contractor and project engineering teams.
2. Quality Assurance & Control (QA/QC)
- Equipment Inspection: Conduct receiving and installation inspections of WTG components to ensure compliance with approved specifications and requirements.
- Installation Verification: Ensure mechanical installations comply with OEM guidelines, project drawings, specifications and approved method statements.
- Quality Compliance: Coordinate inspections with QA/QC teams and maintain required inspection and installation records.
- Punch Lists & Snagging: Identify mechanical defects and non-conformances, track corrective actions and verify closure before handover.
3. Commissioning & Testing
- Mechanical Completion: Coordinate pre-commissioning checks, including bolting/torquing, tensioning, lubrication, alignment and hydraulic-system checks.
- Testing: Support mechanical testing of turbine systems, including pitch/yaw mechanisms, braking systems and associated safety systems.
- Readiness for Commissioning: Ensure mechanical punch points are closed and systems are ready for commissioning.
- Documentation: Maintain mechanical completion records, certificates, inspection reports and handover documentation.
4. HSSE & Compliance
- Ensure all mechanical installation, erection and heavy-lifting activities comply with Sembcorp HSSE requirements and applicable project procedures.
- Coordinate with the HSSE team for risk assessments, lifting plans, method statements and high-risk activities.
- Identify mechanical and installation risks and ensure timely preventive or corrective actions.
- Promote safe work practices across EPC contractors, OEM personnel and subcontractors.
- Ensure compliance with approved Permit-to-Work requirements for relevant mechanical activities.
5. EPC, OEM & Contractor Coordination
- Coordinate closely with EPC contractors, WTG OEMs, erection contractors and service providers for timely mechanical execution.
- Monitor contractor progress, productivity and mechanical work quality.
- Review site constraints and support resolution of technical and execution issues.
- Participate in site progress, technical and construction coordination meetings.
- Escalate critical mechanical issues affecting safety, quality or project timelines.
6. Cross-Functional Coordination
- Coordinate with Civil Engineering teams for foundation/interface requirements, tower erection readiness and associated civil interfaces.
- Coordinate with Electrical Engineering teams for WTG electrical/mechanical interfaces and commissioning readiness.
- Work closely with Planning, QA/QC, HSSE and Project Management teams to achieve construction milestones.
- Support smooth transition from construction and mechanical completion to commissioning and final handover.
Qualification & Experience
- Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering.
- 3–5 years of relevant project/site execution experience preferred.
- Hands-on experience in wind energy, WTG installation and erection strongly preferred.
- Experience working with EPC contractors, WTG OEMs and erection subcontractors.
- Knowledge of cranes, heavy lifting, mechanical installation, WTG erection and commissioning activities.
- Understanding of mechanical drawings, installation procedures, inspection requirements and quality documentation.
- Oman renewable-energy project experience would be advantageous.
