The Kaskida project is a multi-billion dollar new deepwater hub in the Gulf of America (GoA). This project has just entered bp's Execute phase and presents an exciting opportunity for world class delivery through standardized design and improved ways of working. This is to be achieved through a program work construct, with this project being the first in a series of planned new hubs, where a design one, build many approach is to be adopted. The Kaskida development consists of a column stabilized moored semisubmersible Floating Production Unit (FPU) intended for production of hydrocarbons, supported by subsea production systems, associated wells, and midstream services operated export pipelines.
The FPU will be built in a contractor yard in Singapore, and the project team is recruiting a site construction engineer to work within the bp FPU construction team. The role will be full-time based at the Singapore build location and support the project until FPU sailaway.
The Site Construction Engineer reports to the Project Construction Manager (PCM) and is a member of the Construction Team. Overall management and direction will be through the PCM, with specific scopes directed by the Area or Discipline Leads. The Site Construction Engineer supports the PCM to delivery safe, quality and efficient construction through the oversight, influence and pro-active management of contractor HSSE performance, quality, cost & schedule.
