Project Close-out & Asset Mastering Specialist
As-Built Strategy & Mastering: Directing EPC contractors in the final update of the "Digital Twin," ensuring SPPID, PDS, and SPI databases are synchronized. A key focus is the Valve Schedule (HOV) and the integration of all engineering schedules into the master record.
Technical Compliance (ADNOC Standards): Acting as the final gatekeeper for compliance with EP (Engineering Procedures), EM (Engineering Manuals), and ES (Engineering Specifications).
Documentation Lifecycle Management:
Construction Record Book (CRB): Auditing the full trail of construction—from digitalized radiography and ITPs to PSSR and MCC (Mechanical Completion Certificates).
MRB / VDB Oversight: Verifying that Vendor Data Books include post-commissioning datasheets, SPIR lists, and FAT/SAT reports.
Operational Readiness: Ensuring all equipment O&M manuals are "As-built," verified with ADNOC physical tags, and supplemented by a Project Narration that details construction variations and SOW deviations.
Commissioning Integrity: Facilitating the final handover by ensuring all pre-commissioning and commissioning documents are client-signed with Zero Punch items.
