Job Description - Construction M&P Supervisor  

Company: KBR Iraq

Location: Iraq (28/28 Rotation)

Nationality: Any

The Mechanical & Piping Construction Supervisor is responsible for supervising field construction activities across mechanical and piping scopes within brownfield/greenfield project environments. The role ensures safe execution, constructability alignment, productivity improvement, and coordinated delivery of construction work fronts. The supervisor works closely with multi‑discipline teams to meet project objectives for HSSE, cost, schedule, and quality.

Accountability / Expectations:

• Supervise mechanical and piping construction activities in accordance with project specifications, HSSE requirements, and construction standards.
• Support construction safety by promoting modularization, standardization, and maximizing off‑plot fabrication to reduce site exposure.
• Monitor construction productivity, identify constraints, and escalate improvement opportunities to the Construction Manager.
• Assist in developing and implementing brownfield/greenfield construction strategies and execution plans for project phases.
• Ensure construction work fronts are aligned with engineering deliverables, procurement schedules, and handover sequences.
• Coordinate with Lead to support construction strategies, schedules, and resource planning.
• Ensure mechanical and piping designs incorporate constructability principles, cold‑work opportunities, modularization, and HSSE risk reduction.
• Participate in Constructability Reviews and support assessment of construction risks and mitigation measures.
• Coordinate multi‑discipline interfaces to ensure smooth execution across mechanical, piping, civil, electrical, and instrumentation scopes.
• Provide technical guidance to field crews and contractors for mechanical and piping installation activities.
• Ensure compliance with project specifications, industry standards, and quality requirements.
• Oversee installation, testing, and commissioning readiness of mechanical and piping systems.
• Maintain accurate reporting of progress, productivity, and construction issues to the Lead & Construction Manager.
• Capable of supervising multiple work scopes concurrently when required.
• Deliver construction activities safely, efficiently, and in alignment with project schedule and cost targets.
• Ensure engineering and procurement deliverables support construction sequencing and work‑front availability.
• Support continuous improvement in construction execution through proactive identification of risks and opportunities.
• Maintain strong communication and coordination across all disciplines.

Education

BSc. Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Piping Engineering, or related discipline.

Experience

8+ years experience in Oil & Gas project design and engineering (mechanical/piping discipline).
