Heavy Lifting & Handling Superintendent

RINA is looking for a Heavy Lifting & Handling Superintendent, to be involved in an important Oil&Gas project

Duration: 8 months extendible

Rotation: 42/14

Location: Marsa Matrouh. Egypt

Main responsabilities:

1. Planning & Coordination
   • Develop lift plans, including method statements, risk assessments, and schedules.
   • Coordinate with engineers, project managers, and contractors to align lifting activities with construction timelines.
   • Select appropriate equipment (cranes, rigging, transporters) based on load requirements, site conditions, and gas plant specifications.
2. Safety & Compliance
   • Enforce strict adherence to safety protocols (OSHA, ANSI, LOLER) and site-specific regulations.
   • Conduct hazard assessments for lifts involving hazardous areas or flammable materials common in gas plants.
   • Ensure emergency response plans are in place for incidents like equipment failure or spills.
3. Equipment Management
   • Oversee inspection, maintenance, and certification of lifting equipment (e.g., cranes, slings, spreader bars).
   • Verify equipment compatibility with gas plant environments (e.g., explosion-proof gear in hazardous zones).
   • Manage equipment mobilization/demobilization, including logistics and storage.
4. Supervision & Execution
   • Direct lifting crews, riggers, and operators during critical lifts (e.g., installing reactors, columns, or pipelines).
   • Monitor lift execution to ensure alignment with approved plans and intervene to resolve issues like unstable loads or obstructions.
   • Supervise complex lifts, such as tandem crane operations or lifts near live gas pipelines.
5. Training & Competency
   • Ensure operators and riggers hold valid certifications and are trained for gas plant-specific challenges (e.g., working in confined spaces).
   • Conduct toolbox talks and safety briefings focused on risks like hydrogen sulfide exposure or high-pressure lines.
6. Documentation & Reporting
   • Maintain records of lift permits, equipment inspections, incident reports, and daily logs.
   • Report progress, incidents, and deviations to project leadership.
7. Risk Management
   • Identify and mitigate risks related to wind, ground stability, or overhead obstructions.
   • Review lift plans for compliance with engineering specifications (e.g., load stress on gas plant structures).
8. Cost Control
   • Optimize equipment usage to minimize rental costs and downtime.
   • Manage budgets for repairs, fuel, and specialized equipment (e.g., hydraulic gantries for modular installations).
9. Stakeholder Communication
   • Liaise with vendors, inspectors, and regulatory bodies to ensure compliance.
   • Collaborate with process engineers to avoid clashes during equipment installation.
10. Environmental Stewardship
    • Implement measures to prevent environmental damage (e.g., containing fluid leaks from cranes in sensitive areas).
