Job Description

** ROLE SYNOPSIS:**

The Asset Coordinator is a project management and coordination role within the Assets function responsible for coordinating the complete lifecycle of the company’s subsea intervention assets. This position manages the execution and coordination of asset projects from initial design and development through fabrication, assembly, testing, commissioning, mobilization, deployment, maintenance, storage, refurbishment, redeployment, and ultimate decommissioning.

The Asset Coordinator works closely with the Asset Manager, Engineering, Operations, Technology, Supply Chain, Quality, HSE, Commercial, and external suppliers to ensure assets are delivered, maintained, configured, and deployed in accordance with project requirements, schedules, budgets, quality standards, and customer expectations. The role serves as the central coordinator for asset-related projects and ensures that scope, schedule, resources, documentation, procurement, testing, logistics, and stakeholder requirements are effectively managed.

The Asset Coordinator maintains visibility of each asset throughout its lifecycle and coordinates activities necessary to keep the fleet ready for current and future campaigns. This includes developing project schedules, coordinating engineering and fabrication activities, managing procurement and vendor interfaces, coordinating inspections and testing, planning mobilization and demobilization, coordinating maintenance and refurbishment, managing storage requirements, and developing plans for asset retirement and decommissioning.

The role requires strong organizational, project management, communication, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to coordinate multiple concurrent asset projects and competing operational priorities. The Asset Coordinator will work across domestic and international locations and may require travel to company facilities, fabrication yards, suppliers, customer locations, and offshore or operational sites.
