Role Overview
- Establish, develop and lead the Americas 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 the Americas and collaboration with global teams as required.
