Role

• Establish, develop and lead the Middle East, Caspian & Asia engineering function across ES and IIS, implementing the global engineering operating model while maintaining responsive regional delivery.
• Provide dedicated transformation leadership and remain the long-term regional owner of capability, standards adoption, engineering governance implementation and workforce development.
• Translate globally defined standards, competency requirements and approval levels into consistent local practice.
• Lead the assigned regional engineering team and own its training, development and competency readiness
• Coordinate capability across countries and service lines and with other regional engineering leaders to enable agile delivery and global workforce flexibility.
• Manage the regional technical authority process and access to appointed authorities.

Responsibilities

• Implement the engineering transformation locally: establish the capability and workload baseline, assign process owners, clarify responsibilities and deploy approved procedures, review gates and readiness requirements.
• Maintain a regional engineering delivery and capacity plan with operations, project and commercial leaders; match work to verified competence, secure checking capacity and escalate resource conflicts.
• Embed engineering early in tendering, project planning, equipment preparation, mobilization and field handovers, supporting realistic technical commitments and effective delivery interfaces.
• Ensure preparation, independent checking and approval responsibilities are explicit and recorded. Route high-risk or specialist decisions to appointed Technical Authorities and escalate unresolved technical / schedule conflicts to the Global Engineering Director.
• Lead adoption of controlled documentation, shared templates, verified calculation methods and approved digital workflows; manage regional implementation of engineering process and tool improvements within the global strategy.
• Implement the global competency framework and maintain regional team training and development plans aligned with competency gaps and delivery needs; coordinate structured training, mentoring and graduate rotations, develop multiskilling across relevant ES and IIS services and support succession planning.
• Coordinate regional recruitment and capability development with regional leadership and HR.
• Coordinate with other Regional Engineering Managers to share visibility of capacity, competencies and demand; agree cross-regional resource sharing, mobility and development opportunities to respond rapidly to changing priorities and provide global delivery flexibility.
• Align assignments with verified competence and regional commitments, promote common methods and reuse of technical lessons, and feed improvement proposals into the global framework.
• Monitor engineering quality, schedule adherence, readiness, rework, review turnaround and capability development; provide transparent regional delivery reports, risk escalation and corrective-action follow-up.
• Apply EnerMech and client quality, health, safety and environmental requirements; ensure competent technical risk assessment, management of change and closure of engineering assurance findings.
• Sustain regional ownership through routine governance, standards-adoption checks, training compliance and continuous improvement across onshore and offshore delivery.

Requirements

• Experience: normally 8–12+ years of relevant engineering experience, including at least 3 years in engineering leadership
• Qualifications: relevant engineering degree, including Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, Chemical or Ocean Engineering according to discipline, plus demonstrated application.
• Evidence: implementation of standards and review processes; coordination of engineering resources; structured training / mentoring; and delivery across operations and project interfaces.
• Competency: Advanced leadership, planning and governance, with sufficient technical breadth to direct multidisciplinary ES / IIS support and recognize specialist limits.
• Travel: travel across Middle East, Caspian & Asia and collaboration with global teams as required.
• Advanced functional leadership: translate global direction into regional plans, clear ownership and sustained adoption.
• Engineering governance: understand technical assurance, codes, risk, change control and delegated approval boundaries without substituting management seniority for technical authorization.
• Change implementation: introduce common processes and digital tools while protecting capacity for current commitments.
• Workforce and development: plan capability and demand, structure mentoring and rotations, and maintain evidence-based competency and succession processes.
• Matrix collaboration: align global engineering and regional delivery stakeholders across countries, projects and service lines.
• Business and data literacy: interpret engineering delivery measures, scope, cost and commercial risk; explain constraints and make transparent recommendations.
