Structural Assessment & Engineering Definition

• Review inspection‑identified anomalies via IQI ONE and SAP notifications (per RO workflow)
• Perform structural assessments, confirm problem definition, and determine appropriate repair methodology (FM/AI/ENG path)
• Provide clear engineering instructions to OIE, RO Engineer and Construction Supervisor (OCS) during early scoping stages
• Identify when external engineering support is required and prepare Scope of Work packages accordingly

Design & Deliverables

• Produce structural calculations, design notes, sketches, and formal engineering drawings required for AFC (Approved for Construction) issue
• Review and comment on external engineering deliverables (calculations, drawings) for compliance, quality and site practicality
• Ensure all designs comply with “Asset Integrity Repair Standard” CSL‑OMS‑00633 and relevant codes
• Provide structural input into materials selection, isolations, constructability, and temporary works requirements

Repair Order Workflow Support

• Support the RO Planner, OIE and OCS through the full RO lifecycle (initiation → 35D readiness → 14D gate → execution → close‑out)
• Liaise with onshore Delivery Lead for planning, sequencing, and procurement inputs
• Provide engineering clarification during construction, including offshore queries, site measurements, and as‑found condition changes
• Support readiness reviews (IAP, SPOPE, materials, constructability) when structural input is required

Offshore & Onshore Engagement

• Attend Barrow Terminal as required for surveys, constructability reviews, and inspection walkdowns
• Travel offshore to assets to support anomaly verification, gather structural data, and advise on execution
• Interface with OIE, Inspection RAT, Construction Supervisors, Services Delivery Lead, and scaffold teams to provide engineering inputs essential for safe delivery

Safety, Assurance & Close‑out

• Ensure all structural repair proposals are safe, compliant, and risk‑assessed
• Participate in technical assurance and engineering reviews
• Support close‑out stages, verifying structural completion where required and ensuring all documentation is updated (SAP WO, IQI ONE, AFC/AIF files)
• Contribute to lessons learned and continuous improvement activities as required by the RO Process workflow
