We currently have an opportunity within SPIE Global Services Energy, Qatar for an Instrumentation Supervisor (Hydraulic & Pneumatic – Offshore).

The Instrumentation Supervisor oversees all instrumentation activities related to hydraulic and pneumatic systems on offshore facilities. This includes supervising maintenance, installation, calibration, testing, and troubleshooting activities for well tie-ins, WHCPs, shutdown systems, and other brownfield instrumentation work. The role requires strong offshore experience and an excellent background in instrumentation within an Electrical & Instrument discipline.

• Offshore Instrumentation Maintenance & Supervision:
  Supervise preventive and corrective maintenance of hydraulic and pneumatic instrumentation systems; lead field teams performing maintenance on well tie-ins, brownfield modifications, and shutdown-related instrumentation; provide daily supervision for electrical & instrument technicians, with a strong emphasis on instrumentation tasks; ensure compliance with offshore HSE standards and PTW systems.
• Installation & Construction
  
  Activities:
  
  Oversee instrument hook-up, tubing, impulse line installation, and termination activities; supervise installation and testing of field instruments including: pressure transmitters and switches; flow instruments (DP, Vortex, turbine, etc.); level transmitters and gauges; temperature elements and transmitters; ensure correct installation of F&G devices, detectors, and panels.
• Hydraulic & Pneumatic System Expertise:
  Lead maintenance, testing, and troubleshooting of WHCPs (Wellhead Control Panels) – pneumatic & hydraulic; shutdown monitoring panels; hydraulic actuators, pneumatic actuators, and associated control loops.
• Testing, QA/QC & Commissioning:
  Perform and/or supervise instrument calibration; loop checking; functional testing; final QA/QC verification of used test equipment and documentation; ensure timely preparation and sign-off of ITRs and commissioning packs.
• Planning & Work Preparation:
  Prepare work packs, job cards, drawings, and material requests from onshore before mobilization; participate in offshore surveys and translate findings into work scopes; coordinate closely with engineering, logistics, and project teams to ensure job readiness.
• HSE Leadership & PTW:
  Serve as Permit Authority or act as the senior technical authority in a Permit-to-Work environment; lead toolbox talks, safety briefings, and ensure safe execution of daily activities; champion strong HSE culture among technicians and contractors.

Diploma or Bachelor’s degree in Instrumentation, Electrical & Instrument Engineering, or related field.

• Minimum 7–10 years offshore experience in instrumentation, with hands-on hydraulic & pneumatic systems experience.
• Strong background supervising E&I teams offshore, especially instrumentation crews.
• Proven experience with brownfield modifications, well tie-ins, and shutdown work.
• Demonstrated competency in WHCP systems, F&G instrumentation, and field measurement devices.
• Solid knowledge of industry standards (IEC, ISA, API).
• Holder of valid offshore certifications (BOSIET / HUET / Medical).

Excellent troubleshooting skills for hydraulic and pneumatic control loops; strong leadership and team management abilities; ability to work efficiently under offshore conditions and tight schedules; familiarity with construction/commissioning tools (P&IDs, ILDs, hook-up drawings); strong analytical and documentation skills.

• Experience in brownfield project execution and SIMOPS environments.
• Knowledge of shutdown sequencing, ESD logic, and cause & effect matrices.
• Prior experience as PTW Permit Authority or Area Authority.

We offer long-term contract with attractive daily rate, insurance coverage, transportation & expat standard accommodation.
