Position Overview
The Interface Manager will lead and oversee all technical contractual and schedule interfaces across engineering procurement construction fabrication yards and offshore installation / commissioning teams. This role is critical to ensure alignment of multiple disciplines and contractors, avoidance of scope conflicts, schedule slippages or interface claims, and the safe delivery of the offshore EPC scope. The Interface Manager reports to the Project Execution Manager / Interface Director and will typically have a small team of Interface Leads / Coordinators under direct supervision.

- Ensure deliverables (drawings, data‑sheets, work‑packages, installation scopes) preserve continuity across discipline boundaries and downstream readiness for fabrication installation hook‑up and commissioning.
- Monitor and report interface risks, claims, potential schedule impacts and cost implications; feed into project risk register and change management processes.
- Ensure close interface with schedule & planning, document control / EDMS, HSE, quality & QA / QC teams to guarantee that interface deliverables meet safety, regulatory and project quality requirements.
- Provide leadership and mentoring for Interface Leads / Coordinators; ensure interface team is mobilised, integrated and aligned with the project execution structure.
- Provide offshore support : be prepared to mobilise offshore (as per rotation) for installation phases, walk‑downs, interface verifications, construction hooks, and handover.
