We are looking for a highly skilled and seasoned Senior Boiler Construction Supervisor to lead all aspects of boiler construction activities on industrial and power plant projects. This role involves managing large field teams and subcontractors, ensuring compliance with applicable codes and safety standards, and coordinating with cross-functional departments to ensure the successful delivery of boiler erection scopes. The ideal candidate has deep expertise in pressure part installation, welding oversight, and construction planning for high-capacity boilers and auxiliary systems.
Lead the end-to-end execution of boiler construction activities including pressure part erection, structural integration, ducting, and auxiliary system installation.
Review and interpret detailed construction drawings, welding specifications, and job packages to ensure alignment with contract and code requirements.
Manage boiler erection sequences, ensure fit-up and alignment tolerances, and oversee high-precision rigging and lifting activities.
Supervise and mentor construction supervisors, engineers, welders, riggers, and subcontractor teams.
Coordinate resources across multiple work fronts, monitor productivity, and reassign manpower based on evolving site needs.
Conduct regular interface meetings with civil, mechanical, and commissioning teams to align construction priorities.
Enforce strict compliance with safety standards including confined space entry, LOTO, scaffold safety, and hot work procedures.
Liaise with QA/QC and third-party inspectors for NDT activities, hydrotesting, and pre-commissioning checks.
Ensure welding operations adhere to approved WPS/PQR and that documentation is maintained for regulatory compliance (e.g., IBR, ASME Section I).
Collaborate with project planning and procurement teams to ensure critical path activities are resourced and executed on schedule.
Track daily, weekly, and cumulative progress against key construction milestones and report deviations with recovery plans.
Manage inspection hold points, punch lists, and mechanical completion milestones.
Interface with client representatives, EPC contractors, and third-party inspectors to align expectations and resolve issues.
Provide detailed technical briefings, status updates, and documentation during site reviews and audits.
Contribute to constructability reviews, method statements, and lift plans during the pre-construction phase.
