Senior Manager, Marine Engineering Services - Grey Staffing

Position Overview:

The Senior Manager of the Marine Engineering Services group is responsible for cable and route engineering from the preliminary design phase through the end of the marine survey and into cable loading. This person will ensure that contractual commitments are carried through to survey contracts from the system supply contract.

Responsibilities

• Survey operations management involves working most closely with Permitting/Regulatory, Marine Coordinators, and Fleet Operations personnel while managing our own survey platform, the Ocean Surveyor, as well as any third-party vessel we may hire for marine route survey.

• Management of third-party vendors providing marine route survey services to ensure that the data are fit for purpose and collected in a timely manner.

• Overseeing industrial personnel aboard a survey vessel (Ocean Surveyor, and/or other third party vessels as necessary) as well as on shore (charting and data) to produce the contracted deliverables.

• Once the data are available from the survey operation and onshore processors, the Senior Manager oversees Route Engineers who ensure that the correct route, cable type, and cable protection method (plow burial, PLIB, etc.) is employed. This requires interaction with Offshore, Shore End Installation and Submersibles groups to ensure that the practices employed are the safest and most feasible for the company, the personnel involved, and the product. Interaction with Factory Project Management will be necessary to ensure that the correct product type for seabed conditions is built in a timely manner.

This will require individual project focus and a focus on the interactions between project schedules.
