This is a senior, site-based role requiring a minimum of 10 years of specialized experience. You will be the technical authority responsible for planning, reviewing, and supervising all lifting and rigging activities to ensure they are executed safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with the stringent standards of Qatar Energy and Ras Laffan Industrial City (RLIC). The role is crucial for supporting brownfield project operations, including complex and critical lifts.

Key Responsibilities

The successful candidates will be entrusted with the following critical site duties:

  • Technical Planning & Review: Plan, review, and approve comprehensive lifting studies, method statements, lift plans, and rigging procedures prior to execution.
  • Site Supervision & Compliance: Directly supervise and monitor all lifting and rigging operations on site to ensure strict adherence to approved plans, project HSE standards, and Qatar Energy/RLIC regulations.

Project ExperienceProven experience in brownfield projects is essential.
Technical SkillsProficiency in AutoCAD and lifting analysis software/tools. Strong understanding of heavy lifting equipment, cranes, and advanced rigging methods.
Legal ResidencyMust possess a valid Qatar ID (QID). This is a mandatory requirement for site access and employment.

Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal engineer for this high-stakes role will be:

  • subject matter expert and procedural authority on lifting/rigging, with an uncompromising commitment to safety and compliance.
  • practical, site-savvy engineer who can translate complex plans into safe field execution and solve problems under pressure.
  • An effective communicator and coordinator, able to lead briefings, enforce standards with contractors, and interface with multiple project stakeholders.
  • Deeply familiar with the Qatari industrial landscape, particularly the specific regulatory environment of Qatar Energy and RLIC.

Sector & Context

  • Industry: Primarily Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, or Heavy Industrial projects.
  • Project Type: Focus on brownfield/modification work, which involves higher risk and complexity than greenfield sites.
  • Standards: Compliance with Qatar Energy and RLIC standards is non-negotiable and a core requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Why is a valid Qatar ID (QID) mandatory?

For site-based roles in Qatar, especially on secured energy and industrial projects, a valid QID is required for security clearance, site access, and legal employment. Candidzone will not sponsor a visa for this role; you must already be a resident.

2. What is the difference between greenfield and brownfield experience?

Greenfield projects are built on new, empty sites. Brownfield projects involve modifications, expansions, or maintenance within an existing, often operational, facility. Brownfield experience is preferred due to the added complexities of working around live processes, space constraints, and stricter safety protocols.

3. What specific software skills are needed?

AutoCAD is explicitly required for reviewing and creating drawings. Lifting analysis software could include applications like ANSYS, STAAD.Pro, specialized crane simulation software, or AutoCAD Mechanical used for lift planning and stress analysis.

4. Who is the end client?

Candidzone is recruiting on behalf of a client, which is not named. Given the requirements for Qatar Energy/RLIC standards and brownfield O&G experience, the client is likely a major operator, EPC contractor, or consultancy working on significant energy sector projects in Qatar.

How to Apply

If you are a qualified Lifting Engineer with 10+ years of experience, in-depth knowledge of Qatari energy standards, and hold a valid QID, Candidzone Qatar and their project client encourage you to apply.
