Job Description
Electrical & Instrumentation Supervisor
Location: Site-based, rotational — remote construction site in Northern Mozambique
Project Type: World-scale onshore LNG construction
Rotation: 4/4
The Opportunity
We are recruiting an experienced Electrical & Instrumentation Supervisor for a world-scale onshore LNG construction project. Reporting to the Field Engineering & Supervision Manager, you will cover all E&I construction, installation, inspection, testing, and pre-commissioning activities across assigned EPC work areas, through to Mechanical Completion. This is a hands-on field supervision role requiring strong daily presence at the workfront, safety leadership, quality surveillance, and multi-discipline interface coordination with EPC contractor teams and vendors.
Key Responsibilities
Workfront Preparation
- Attend daily coordination meetings with the EPC contractor; review look-ahead schedules, manpower allocation, and equipment/tools availability
- Validate workfront readiness (access, scaffolding, permits, energization plans, materials) and identify constraints early
Field Supervision
- Supervise installation of electrical systems (LV/MV equipment, transformers, motors, earthing and lighting) and instrumentation devices (pressure/temperature transmitters, control valves, analyzers, F&G instruments)
- Ensure correct use of approved drawings (SLD, cable schedules, loop and hook-up drawings, instrument index)
Technical Oversight
- Verify installation practices: cable pulling, glanding, termination, panel installation, calibration, and loop checks
- Provide daily technical clarifications to EPC supervisors and field crews
Quality Surveillance
- Inspect cable trays, routing, segregation and supports; instrument installation and orientation; gland sealing, terminations and polarity; earthing continuity; calibration, loop testing, and signal verification; electrical testing (IR, continuity, functional)
- Follow up NCRs, observations, punch items, and ITP compliance
HSE Leadership
- Perform daily safety walkdowns; enforce permit-to-work, LOTO, hazardous area classification rules, and electrical safety procedures
- Stop unsafe activities immediately; ensure safe energization practices
Interface Management
- Coordinate daily with Civil, Mechanical/Piping, Rotating & Static equipment, QA/QC, and Commissioning teams
- Resolve cable tray congestion, access, and sequencing clashes
Pre-Commissioning Readiness
- Track readiness for LV/MV system testing, loop checks, continuity/megger tests, calibration verification, MCC energization, and fire & gas testing
- Manage daily punch list progress and provide accurate field inputs to the completions database
Reporting
- Prepare daily discipline reports (progress, constraints, HSE observations, productivity, next-day priorities)
- Review and approve check sheets, test records, loop folders, and QC documentation
Working Environment
- Site-based, rotational position on a remote construction site in Northern Mozambique
- Camp accommodation with health (malaria mitigation) and security protocols in place
- Large multi-cultural workforce across multiple EPC packages — a strong interface-driven environment
Qualifications & Experience
- Electrical or Instrumentation engineering qualification (degree or higher technical diploma), or equivalent trade background with substantial supervisory experience
- Minimum 10 years' E&I construction and pre-commissioning experience on large Oil & Gas/LNG projects, including at least 5 years in a field supervision role
- Strong knowledge of hazardous area installations (IECEx/ATEX) and electrical safety practices; CompEx certification desirable
- Proficient in reading and enforcing E&I engineering documentation (SLD, cable schedules, loop and hook-up drawings, instrument index)
- Experience with completions/certification databases and ITP-based quality regimes
- Fluent English; experience in remote, multi-cultural site environments
- Medically fit for remote site assignment (Fitness to Work certification required prior to mobilisation)
