• Review shop drawings, installation drawings, and production information to identify discrepancies and resolve design-related issues.
• Provide technical support to shipyard production teams during equipment installation, cable pulling, termination, instrument mounting, and system integration.
• Resolve technical queries (TQs), site and production issues, drawing discrepancies, and installation-related engineering problems.
• Incorporate engineering changes, production feedback, and redline mark-ups into drawings, cable schedules, and 3D models.
• Coordinate with Hull Structure, Machinery Outfitting, Piping, HVAC, and other engineering disciplines to ensure proper E&I integration and avoid clashes.
• Review vendor drawings, equipment specifications, and technical documentation for compatibility with vessel arrangements and installation requirements.
• Verify cable routing, equipment accessibility, installation clearances, maintenance access, and interface requirements before execution.
• Support constructability reviews and identify potential installation constraints, routing conflicts, and design discrepancies.
• Ensure E&I installation arrangements comply with project specifications, applicable marine standards, classification society requirements, and shipyard construction procedures.
• Coordinate with engineers, designers, equipment vendors, and production personnel to ensure timely resolution of technical issues.
• Support the preparation and updating of cable schedules, equipment lists, material lists, and installation documentation.
• Assist in resolving issues related to equipment positioning, cable tray routing, penetrations, supports, and interfaces with structural and mechanical systems.
• Maintain updated production drawings, technical records, and construction documentation in accordance with project procedures.
• Support as-built drawing updates and incorporate final production modifications.
• Ensure construction support deliverables are completed within agreed project schedules and quality requirements.

Qualifications and Experience

• 5-10 years of hands-on experience in Construction Support (CS), shipyard production support, and E&I drawing modifications.
• Strong experience in electrical and instrumentation installation layouts, cable routing, equipment positioning, and associated engineering activities.
• Good understanding of marine electrical systems, power distribution, lighting, earthing, cable management, instrumentation installation, and control system interfaces.
• Experience preparing and modifying 2D production drawings, cable schedules, installation drawings, and 3D models.
• Proficiency in marine 3D design software, preferably AVEVA Marine / Hull & Outfitting, or other accepted shipbuilding CAD software.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, electrical schematics, instrument hook-up drawings, cable schedules, vendor documentation, and production mark-ups.
• Experience resolving technical queries and supporting shipyard production teams during construction and installation activities.
• Familiarity with marine classification society requirements, applicable IEC standards, shipbuilding standards, and project specifications.
• Experience coordinating with Hull Structure, Machinery Outfitting, Piping, HVAC, and other engineering disciplines.
• Understanding of cable routing through bulkheads and decks, equipment mounting arrangements, penetrations, and associated installation interfaces.
• Experience in new-build shipbuilding projects, offshore vessels, FPSOs, or similar marine engineering projects is preferred.
• Exposure to international shipyards, marine EPC contractors, or multidisciplinary engineering environments is preferred.

Required Skills

• Strong technical problem-solving abilities.
• Proficiency in drawing interpretation.
• Effective coordination and communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively in a project-driven engineering and shipyard production environment.
