Piping Foreman – Offshore Shutdown

The Piping Foreman leads offshore piping crews during shutdowns, ensuring safe and efficient execution of fabrication, installation, repairs, and hydrotesting of pipelines, valves, and supports. Key Responsibilities: 1. Shutdown Execution: o Supervise pipe fitters, welders, and riggers in tasks like: § Replacement of corroded pipelines, valves, and flanges. § Installation of new spools/modifications per P&IDs/isometrics. § Hydrotesting and leak checks. o Ensure work complies with shutdown schedules (critical path). 2. HSE & Compliance: o Enforce PTW (Permit to Work), isolation (LOTO), and confined space procedures. o Conduct daily toolbox talks and safety audits (QatarEnergy/Shell standards). 3. Quality Control: o Verify alignment, welding (WPS/PQR), and gasket installation per ASME B31.3/API 570. o Oversee NDT (RT/UT) and punch-list closure. 4. Coordination: o Liaise with shutdown managers, engineers, and other trades (scaffolding, insulation). o Report progress/roadblocks using SAP or client-specific systems. 5. Materials & Tools: Manage piping material inventories and ensure Requirements · Experience: o 8+ years in oil/gas piping, with 3+ years offshore shutdowns. o Familiarity with Aramco, QP, or Shell shutdown procedures is a plus. · Technical Skills: o Reading isometrics/P&IDs, rigging plans, and stress analysis reports. o Proficiency in flange management and bolt-torquing procedures.
