Lifting Supervisor

Key Responsibilities � Onshore Lift Planning & Risk Assessment • Develop and review detailed Lift Plans , ensuring exact calculations for rigging geometry, sling angles, and crane capacity margins. • Assess onshore soil conditions and ground bearing capacities, ensuring proper sizing of outrigger mats, pads, or steel plates to prevent crane instability or tipping. • Categorize lifting operations strictly into ADNOC classifications: Routine, Non-Routine Simple, Non-Routine Complicated, and Non-Routine Complex. • Secure necessary Permits to Work (PTW) and specialized Lifting Certificates prior to mobilizing any heavy equipment. �️ Site Supervision & Execution • Supervise all field lifting activities physically on the ground, ensuring operations mirror the approved engineering drawings and lift plans. • Lead and coordinate the lifting team , including Mobile Crane Operators, Crawler Operators, Riggers, and Banksmen/Signalers. • Conduct mandatory daily Toolbox Talks (TBT) to communicate task-specific hazards, heavy equipment blind spots, and exclusion zone boundaries. • Enforce strict Stop Work Authority during unsafe conditions, specifically monitoring onshore hazards like shifting sand winds, dust-storms restricting visibility, or ambient wind speeds exceeding safe operating limits. � Onshore Equipment & Safety Management • Perform pre-use inspections on all mobile cranes, crawler cranes, and loose lifting gear (shackles, slings, spreader bars). • Verify third-party certification validity (LEEA / ADNOC approved) and ensure all equipment displays the current, correct seasonal color-coding. • Manage exclusion zones and physical barricading to prevent unauthorized personnel or light vehicles from entering the crane's swing radius or line of fire. • Education: Minimum Technical Diploma or Degree in Mechanical / Civil Engineering or an equivalent accredited qualification. • Experience: 5 to 8+ years of experience in heavy lifting and rigging operations within the Onshore Oil & Gas sector (e.g., cross-country pipelines, live process plants, refineries, or drilling rigs). • Certifications (Mandatory): • Valid ADNOC Approved Lifting Supervisor / Appointed Person (AP) Certificate . • Certification from an ADNOC-approved third-party training provider (e.g., LEEA, TUV, or LIMS), requiring mandatory renewal every three (3) years. • Technical Skills: Proficient in reading complex multi-crane load charts, calculating ground pressure loads, analyzing crane configurations (boom length, counterweight, radius), and identifying overhead asset hazards (such as high-voltage overhead power lines and pipe racks).
