PMC Engineer (Construction Mechanical): Site Based

Are you a technical leader with the grit to oversee large-scale energy infrastructure from the field? Wood is recruiting a PMC Engineer (Construction Mechanical) to join our Project Management Consultancy (PMC) team, supporting a high-profile ADNOC Onshore project in Abu Dhabi.

In this site-based role, you will act as the client’s eyes and ears, ensuring that every weld, pipe spool, and rotating equipment installation meets the rigorous standards of ADNOC. You will bridge the gap between complex engineering designs and physical execution, managing contractor performance to ensure the project remains on schedule, within budget, and, above all, safe. If you have a deep background in mechanical completion and a “Zero Harm” mindset, Wood offers the platform to work on transformative projects at the heart of the global energy transition.

Your Technical & Supervisory Mission

Mechanical Construction Oversight

• Direct Supervision: Oversee all on-site mechanical activities, including piping, equipment installation (static and rotating), valves, and complex mechanical packages.

• Technical Compliance: Ensure all works align with IFC (Issued for Construction) drawings, ADNOC technical requirements, and international codes such as ASME, API, and ISO.

• Quality Verification: Audit critical installation tolerances, including alignment, leveling, grouting, and bolt torquing.

Quality Control & Testing

• Welding & NDT: Monitor welding activities and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), verifying strict compliance with approved WPS/PQR (Welding Procedure Specifications).

• Testing Witness: Witness and endorse critical mechanical tests, including hydrotesting, pneumatic testing, leak testing, and system flushing.

• Handover Readiness: Manage the mechanical completion dossiers, lead system walkdowns, and oversee the closure of punch list items for MC (Mechanical Completion) and RFC (Ready for Commissioning).

Project Coordination & Leadership

• Contractor Management: Review and approve contractor-submitted method statements, ITPs (Inspection Test Plans), and lifting plans.

• Problem Solving: Resolve technical site issues by coordinating between Engineering, QA/QC, and HSE teams.

• Experience: 10+ years in the Oil & Gas/Petrochemical industry, with at least 5 years of experience in the GCC region.

• PMC Specialist: Minimum 5 years in a PMC role, specifically on ADNOC Onshore or similar Middle East projects.

• Technical Mastery: Strong background in piping/pipelines, static/rotating equipment (pumps, compressors, vessels), and mechanical testing.

• Certifications: Professional certifications such as CSWIP (Welding Inspection) or PMP are highly advantageous.

• ADNOC Knowledge: Deep familiarity with ADNOC standards, specifications, workflows, and documentation.
