Maintenance superintendents are responsible for overseeing all maintenance functions on an oil or gas rig, including the technical integrity of hulls, tanks, topside vessels, and equipment. They ensure that there is sufficient bunker space onboard and manage further bunkering operations. They are responsible for controlling the hazardous substances that will be used within the maintenance department. They also provide input to both budget and control expenditure.
Maintenance superintendents earn a median sum of $75,000 annually or $36 per hour. Their duties include ensuring safe and efficient rig operations following a rig management system by establishing protocols that are used to schedule and manage maintenance tasks. They are involved with facilities planning, since the activities in the facilities can directly impact the maintenance crews.
Maintenance superintendents typically work for government agencies and hold a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or a similar field. They are expected to have been employed as chief engineers on a rig and have some years of experience within the oil and gas sector. They are also expected to have in-depth knowledge of their rig and a strong understanding of floating production storage and offloading systems.
