* Monitor the readiness and effective functioning of the emergency operations room.
* Inspect gas-distribution assets and confirm that work is completed safely.
* Enforce company policies, technical specifications and operational regulations.
* Organize maintenance activities for pipelines, valves and cathodic-protection systems.
* Evaluate spare-part and material consumption against actual network requirements.
* Establish suitable inventory levels for planned and emergency work.
* Monitor calibration schedules for instruments, meters and pressure gauges.
* Support the development and operation of gas pressure-reduction stations.
* Establish operating and maintenance procedures for new pipeline installations.
* Participate in the emergency and incident standby roster.
* Support accident investigations and recommend corrective action when required.
* Develop scopes of work for polyethylene and steel pipeline activities.
* Incorporate current technologies and recognized industry practices into work requirements.
* Act as Authorizing Engineer for relevant pipeline operations.
* Develop procedures for non-routine live-gas activities.
* Provide technical support during network incidents and emergency-response situations.
* Prepare tender-package scopes for operation and maintenance contracts.
* Conduct technical evaluations of contractors and submitted bids.
* Review pipeline installation materials before approval and operational use.
* Introduce techniques that reduce maintenance duration and public-service interruption.
* Audit contractor performance on steel pipeline operation and maintenance projects.
* Analyse recurring problem areas and recommend practical, cost-effective solutions.
* Confirm that completed facilities can be operated and maintained safely.
* Develop project reports, presentations and performance-measurement tools.
* Provide technical guidance to Control Room Operations Supervisors.
* Contribute operational requirements to annual OPEX planning.
* Track contractor and supplier performance against agreed measures.
* Participate in HAZOP, HSEIA and project risk-assessment reviews.
* Support Natural Gas Division maintenance and HSE-management processes.
* Prepare work packages aligned with project codes, specifications and HSE requirements.
* Complete LUAG calculations and monitor monthly gas-reconciliation statements.
* Coordinate technical matters with government authorities, contractors and suppliers.
Ideal Profile
The position requires substantial technical experience in natural-gas distribution operations and maintenance, although a specific academic qualification and minimum experience period are not stated.
Candidates should understand polyethylene and steel pipeline systems, pressure-reduction stations, commercial metering, cathodic protection and electrical and instrumentation interfaces. Experience supervising control-room operations, contractors, emergency response and non-routine live-gas work will be important.
