Turnover Engineer

Job Description: Site Turnover Engineer

Are you a systems completion expert who excels at turning “Construction Projects” into “Operating Assets”? Wood is recruiting an experienced Site Turnover Engineer to join our Engineering team in Abu Dhabi, specifically based at the Habshan Site.

In the high-stakes environment of ADNOC Gas projects, the Site Turnover Engineer is the critical link between the final bolt being tightened and the first system being energized. You will own the transition process—defining system boundaries, managing punch lists, and compiling the exhaustive dossiers required for a safe and compliant handover. Based at the Habshan facility, you will work at the heart of the UAE’s gas infrastructure, ensuring that Wood’s legacy of steady and predictable delivery remains unblemished.

Your Technical & Handover Mission

Turnover Strategy & Boundary Definition

• Strategy Implementation: Develop and maintain the Turnover Strategy, ensuring all plans and procedures are synchronized between Construction, Commissioning, and ADNOC Gas teams.

• Schedule Monitoring: Track turnover progress and KPIs against project milestones to ensure the “Ready for Start-up” (RFSU) date is met.

Dossier Management & Quality Assurance

• MC Certification: Manage the assembly of Mechanical Completion (MC) dossiers, including inspection reports, test records, and vendor documentation.

• Punch List Management: Lead the categorization (Category A/B/C) and tracking of punch items, ensuring all critical issues are resolved before system handover.

• As-Built Verification: Ensure all as-built drawings and documentation are accurate and compliant with ADNOC Gas standards and EPCM best practices.

Field Coordination & Stakeholder Liaison

• Site Walkdowns: Participate in multidisciplinary system walkdowns and inspections to verify site readiness.

• Stakeholder Interface: Act as the daily technical interface between QA/QC, Construction, Commissioning, and the Client (ADNOC).

• Commissioning Support: Provide on-site support during the energization and testing phases, helping the commissioning team transition into live operations.

What You Bring to Wood

• Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation, or Chemical Engineering.

• Core Experience: 5–8 years in Oil & Gas EPC/EPCM projects, with at least 3–5 years focused specifically on Turnover, Mechanical Completion, or Commissioning.

• Sector Knowledge: Proven experience with Onshore Gas processing facilities (Middle East/ADNOC experience is highly preferred).

• Software Proficiency: Strong knowledge of punch management and completion systems (e.g., WinPCS, ICAPS, ProCoSys).

• Soft Skills: High attention to detail, excellent coordination skills, and the ability to work under pressure in site conditions.
