Mission
- Ensure the working status of the pipeline main line equipment during the project execution and during project preparation, installation and start up. For Offshore Project the Welding Equipment Technician will stay under the operational supervision of the Welding Foreman working under the chief engineer / chief electrician technical supervision, and remains the technical reference point for all the Pipeline production equipment
- Ensure compliance with safety/quality procedures/standards
Tasks
- Install WPE on board of a Saipem vessel, or in a prefabrication yard in accordance with the program/SOW defined by the PWEC
- Provide for all the welding process equipments install onboard the vessel the technical assistance, Diagnosing activity, Maintenance, repairing
- Monitor lay barge pipeline process equipments, equipment consumables and spare parts consumption
- Insure Pipeline production equipment certification with the cooperation fromvessel QAQC engineer
- Report to Welding supervisors onboard, the WEC / PWEC with a weekly report the status of the pipeline production equipment as well the consumption, spare parts and PO status issued by the vessel/project
