Job description - Construction M&P supervisor

The mechanical & piping construction supervisor is responsible for supervising field construction activities across mechanical and piping scopes within brownfield/greenfield project environments. The role ensures safe execution, constructability alignment, productivity improvement, and coordinated delivery of construction work fronts. The supervisor works closely with multi-discipline teams to meet project objectives for HSSE, cost, schedule, and quality.

Accountability / expectations:

• Supervise mechanical and piping construction activities in accordance with project specifications, HSSE requirements, and construction standards.
• Support construction safety by promoting modularization, standardization, and maximizing off-plot fabrication to reduce site exposure.
• Monitor construction productivity, identify constraints, and escalate improvement opportunities to the construction manager.
• Assist in developing and implementing brownfield/greenfield construction strategies and execution plans for project phases.
• Ensure construction work fronts are aligned with engineering deliverables, procurement schedules, and handover sequences.
• Coordinate with lead to support construction strategies, schedules, and resource planning.
• Ensure mechanical and piping designs incorporate constructability principles, cold-work opportunities, modularization, and HSSE risk reduction.
• Participate in constructability reviews and support assessment of construction risks and mitigation measures.
• Coordinate multi-discipline interfaces to ensure smooth execution across mechanical, piping, civil, electrical, and instrumentation scopes.
• Provide technical guidance to field crews and contractors for mechanical and piping installation activities.
• Ensure compliance with project specifications, industry standards, and quality requirements.
• Oversee installation, testing, and commissioning readiness of mechanical and piping systems.
• Maintain accurate reporting of progress, productivity, and construction issues to the lead & construction manager.
• Capable of supervising multiple work scopes concurrently when required.
• Deliver construction activities safely, efficiently, and in alignment with project schedule and cost targets.
• Ensure engineering and procurement deliverables support construction sequencing and work-front availability.
• Support continuous improvement in construction execution through proactive identification of risks and opportunities.
• Maintain strong communication and coordination across all disciplines.

Education

BSc. degree in mechanical engineering, piping engineering, or related discipline.

Experience

• 5–8 years experience in oil & gas project design and engineering (mechanical/piping discipline).
• 3–5 years experience supervising construction activities within a multidiscipline workforce.
• Experience in productivity measurement, resource-based planning, and level 4 scheduling.
• Strong understanding of brownfield/greenfield construction environments and associated HSSE requirements.

Skills

• Strong supervisory, communication, and coordination skills.
• Ability to manage multiple work fronts simultaneously.
• Solid understanding of constructability, modularization, and field execution methodologies.
