The Role?
The Pipeline Pre-Commissioning Supervisor is responsible for overseeing and executing all site-level pre-commissioning activities on pipeline systems, including cleaning, gauging, flooding, hydrotesting, drying, nitrogen purging, inerting, and intelligent pigging operations. This role requires extensive hands-on experience with high-capacity nitrogen membrane systems and the coordination of multidisciplinary teams to safely deliver pipeline systems ready for commissioning.
Main Responsibilities & Key Result Areas
- Supervise the full suite of pre-commissioning activities, including:
- Pipeline flooding, cleaning, and gauging (FCG)
- Hydrostatic testing (HT)
- Dewatering and air drying
- Nitrogen purging/inerting using membrane and liquid nitrogen systems
- Intelligent pigging (ILI) and baseline tool runs
- Lead onshore and offshore execution at both launcher and receiver ends
- Ensure the proper setup and functional testing of large pre-comm spreads, including chemical
- Injection units, hydrotest pumps, filtration skids, nitrogen membranes, air dryers, and compressors.
- Enforce pre-commissioning procedures in line with DNVGL-ST-F101 and project-specific specifications.
- Direct field technicians in rig-up, pig loading/launch, spread ramp-up, pressure control, and pig receiving operations.
- Monitor real-time data on pig speed, pressure, chemical dosing, and water quality to ensure compliance with control points.
- Manage safety during high-pressure operations and coordinate Job Safety Analyses (JSAs), toolbox talks, and HSE audits.
- Interface with project engineering teams, clients, and third-party inspection teams.
- Participate in contingency planning for events such as stuck pigs, pressure anomalies, or spread malfunctions.
Requirements
- 8+ years of pipeline pre-commissioning experience, with at least 5 years in a supervisory role
- Proven track record running a large-scale nitrogen membrane spread.
- Strong technical knowledge of pigging operations, pipeline integrity testing, and seawater chemical treatment.
- Experience working with high-integrity clients (e.g., Qatargas, Saipem) and executing work under strict HSE systems.
Behaviors and Personal Qualities
- Strong leadership, decision-making, and conflict resolution skills.
- Ability to work under pressure and in extreme environments (heat, offshore).
- Detail-oriented with a commitment to procedural discipline and safety.
- Capable of working rotational shifts (day/night) and across multicultural teams.
