To provide specialized mechanical engineering expertise that strengthens troubleshooting, integrity assurance, and lifecycle performance of mechanical systems across the fleet, ensuring safe, compliant, and reliable operations.
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
