Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced and safety-driven Aseng On-Board Representative (OBR) to serve as the Company’s senior offshore representative aboard the contractor-operated Aseng FPSO in Equatorial Guinea. The OBR provides operational and technical oversight of FPSO and subsea operations, safeguards Company interests, and influences the contractor to deliver safe, reliable, compliant and cost-effective operations while preserving contractor accountability. This position is open to both national and expatriate candidates.
Key Responsibilities
• FPSO Operations & Maintenance: Influence contractor performance across production, maintenance, integrity, reliability, marine, cost and regulatory compliance; challenge gaps and drive agreed actions to closure.
• Performance Coordination: Monitor operating performance and align priorities across contractor operations, maintenance, shore base, engineering, marine, supply chain, vendors and Company support teams.
• Project Oversight: Oversee Company-related project scopes, including work definition, readiness, SIMOPS, logistics, quality, handover and closeout.
• Optimisation: Identify production optimisation, reliability, debottlenecking, chemical-management, emissions-reduction and cost-improvement opportunities; support cargo-loading and Mooring Master interfaces.
• Subsea Operations: Operate Company-owned subsea production, water-injection and gas-injection systems, including wells, trees, flowlines, risers, controls, surveillance, testing, choke optimisation, inspections and maintenance planning.
• Troubleshooting: Coordinate troubleshooting and safe recovery of subsea, production, injection and FPSO-interface issues with Operations, Engineering, Reservoir, Maintenance, vendors and marine stakeholders.
• ROV Interventions: Coordinate ROV interventions from scope definition and technical readiness through risk assessment, vessel/SIMOPS alignment, offshore execution, acceptance and closeout.
• HES Assurance: Verify effective contractor application of permit to work, isolations, risk assessment, job planning, SIMOPS, management of change, emergency response, drills, incident investigation and action closeout.
• Process Safety: Provide operational input to process-safety activities and verify field work remains within approved scope, procedures, permits, operating limits and risk controls.
• Escalation: Monitor HES performance, intervene when expectations are not met, and promptly escalate material operational, environmental, integrity or process-safety risks.
Requirements
• Previous hands-on offshore operating experience on an FPSO or directly comparable offshore production facility.
• Previous operating experience with subsea production and injection systems.
• Demonstrated ability to influence contractors and multidisciplinary teams without direct authority.
• Demonstrated experience applying and assuring HES and process-safety processes.
• Strong operational judgement, technical credibility, communication, stakeholder alignment and action-management capability.
• Relevant engineering, operations, marine or technical qualification.
• Ability to meet offshore medical, survival (e.g. BOSIET/FOET), travel and rotational-work requirements.
Selection Criteria
Applications will be assessed against the requirements above, with the following priorities:
• FPSO experience (heavily weighted): Significant weight will be given to candidates with prior hands-on operating experience on an FPSO.
• Subsea experience (heavily weighted): Significant weight will be given to candidates with prior operating experience of subsea production and injection systems, including ROV intervention interfaces.
• Oil and gas major experience (preferred): Previous experience working with or for an international oil and gas major will be considered a strong advantage.
Benefits
• Opportunity to work on a major deepwater FPSO and subsea development.
• Rotational offshore work schedule.
• Competitive remuneration package commensurate with experience.
• Safety-focused, professional working environment with exposure to multidisciplinary operations.
