Role purpose
Produce and maintain method drawings used for offshore execution: lifting/rigging sketches, sea-fastening, installation sequences, temporary works, layouts, and method statements visuals to support safe construction and offshore operations.
Reporting line
Typically reports to Project/Construction/Methods Manager within a methods or subsea engineering group.
Key responsibilities
- Develop 2D/3D drawings that support offshore construction methods (installation sequences, deck layouts, equipment arrangements, lifting plans, temporary supports).
- Convert method engineering inputs into clear IFC/IFR drawings, sketches, and markups for offshore teams.
- Ensure drawings align with HSE, lifting/rigging best practices, and project constraints (vessel, crane capacity, access/egress).
- Manage drawing registers, revisions, and as-built updates; coordinate with engineering, construction, and QA/QC.
- Support offshore queries with quick turnarounds and accurate revisions.
Requirements (typical)
- Diploma in Drafting / Mechanical / Civil (or equivalent)
- Strong experience in offshore EPC / construction drafting 7+ years)
- Proficiency: AutoCAD (must), often MicroStation / Navisworks / SolidWorks depending on project
- Understanding of lifting/rigging terminology, temporary works, and constructability
