Mechanical Engineer

Mechanical Technical Governance & Standards

• Establish and maintain mechanical engineering standards aligned with OEM, Class, Flag State, and regulatory requirements

  • Approve mechanical-related maintenance procedures, job plans, and work scopes in accordance with asset‑management governance

  • Monitor adherence to mechanical integrity standards across all rigs and escalate significant deviations to the Corporate Asset Manager / Head of Maintenance

Mechanical Equipment Reliability & Troubleshooting

• Lead advanced diagnostics and troubleshooting for critical mechanical systems (rotating equipment, engines, pumps, cranes, hydraulics)

  • Guide rig-based teams in root‑cause analysis and ensure corrective actions address underlying failure modes

  • Partner with Technical Superintendents to resolve high‑impact downtime events and validate recovery plans

Maintenance Strategy, Planning & Execution Oversight

• Review and recommend mechanical PM strategies, task lists, and maintenance intervals based on risk, performance history, and OEM requirements

  • Validate CMMS job plans, BOMs, and planned maintenance workflows, ensuring data accuracy and consistency

  • Ensure maintenance execution meets safety‑critical system requirements and equipment performance standards

Mechanical Integrity, Certification & Compliance

• Conduct mechanical integrity audits covering pressure systems, lifting equipment, rotating machinery, and hydraulic components

  • Verify and confirm certification currency for critical mechanical systems, and ensure compliance with class, flag state, API, and regulatory inspection requirements

  • Identify mechanical risks, document non‑conformities, and ensure timely completion of corrective actions

Projects, Modifications & Capital Improvements

• Provide technical direction for mechanical upgrades, overhauls, and CAPEX initiatives

  • Review vendor proposals, engineering deliverables, and project scopes for compliance with technical standards

  • Review and recommend approval of mechanical design changes and hardware modifications through the Management of Change (MOC) process

Spares, Lifecycle Management & Reliability Improvement

• Analyze critical spare requirements, obsolescence risks, and stock requirements with Supply Chain, Procurement and Planning

  • Recommend fleetwide reliability improvements and lead initiatives to eliminate repeated mechanical failures

  • Support long‑term lifecycle planning and mechanical asset replacement recommendations

Technical Documentation, Reporting & Data Governance

• Ensure mechanical drawings, manuals, and certifications are maintained accurately within controlled repositories

• Issue mechanical integrity reports, audit findings, technical advisories, and troubleshooting summaries to Corporate Asset Manager / Head of Maintenance

• Maintain high quality data for mechanical assets within the CMMS and engineering records
