TMMG, Inc.
Overview
TMMG is seeking an experienced and detail-driven Project / Field Engineer to support Eastern Shipbuilding Group (ESG) during the construction of the Trailing Suction Hopper Dredge (TSHD) Adele—a next-generation 347-foot, Royal IHC Beagle Mk2–class vessel being built for The Dutra Group. This position will serve as a technical and coordination hub between ESG’s production and engineering teams, Royal IHC (the design and dredge systems supplier), TMMG, and Dutra’s owner representatives. The engineer will manage day-to-day field engineering, ensure technical compliance, and help drive the project through fabrication, outfitting, testing, and trials over a two-year build period at ESG’s Allanton and Port St. Joe, Florida yards. The candidate is a hands-on, technically grounded marine engineer with strong experience in new construction shipyard environments who translates engineering intent into practical field execution and thrives in fast-paced, multi-stakeholder projects that demand coordination, attention to detail, and proactive communication. The role requires a solid foundation in marine systems integration (mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical) and an understanding of class and regulatory requirements such as ABS and U.S. Coast Guard standards. Background in dredging, offshore, or heavy marine equipment construction is highly valuable. The engineer must manage engineering and production interfaces—bridging shipyard teams, OEM vendors, and design agents like Royal IHC—while ensuring technical accuracy and schedule performance. A proactive, accountable, adaptable mindset with strong interpersonal skills and a focus on vessel quality and performance is essential. Key Responsibilities
Program Integration & Controls: Establish and maintain an Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) covering design milestones, procurement, fabrication, system installation, commissioning, and testing phases. Develop short-term lookahead plans and production tracking metrics tied to physical progress in hull, machinery, and system areas. Identify critical-path activities, potential delays, and resource conflicts; provide recommended recovery actions to maintain milestone performance. Maintain and update a Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) linking contract specifications, Royal IHC design deliverables, ABS/USCG requirements, and test verification points. Support ESG and TMMG management with weekly progress briefings, risk registers, and performance dashboards. Engineering & Design Interface Coordination: Serve as the on-site liaison for technical clarifications, RFIs, ECNs, and vendor data inquiries between ESG engineering, Royal IHC, and The Dutra Group. Review system design packages (P&IDs, one-lines, foundation drawings, and interface schematics) for constructability, accuracy, and integration consistency. Verify that vendor and IHC documentation aligns with U.S. standards, ABS class requirements, and ESG’s production capabilities. Track as-built configuration through engineering changes and drawing revisions, ensuring configuration control from design through trials. Production & Outfitting Support: Provide hands-on field engineering support to ESG’s production and subcontractor teams during module erection, pipe routing, cable pulls, and equipment installation. Support material takeoffs, resolve field deviations, and provide real-time technical guidance to ensure alignment with design intent. Participate in tagout, inspection, and preservation activities to verify readiness for system completion and testing. Document field discrepancies and coordinate with design engineering for timely resolution. Vendor, OEM, and Systems Integration: Coordinate daily with OEM suppliers of dredge pumps, drag arms, gearboxes, hydraulic systems, and automation controls to ensure proper interface, installation, and commissioning sequencing. Participate in Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs) and verify equipment performance against design and contract requirements. Track delivery schedules for long-lead items, manage punch lists, and verify installation alignment, clearances, and load-out requirements. Quality Assurance, Testing & Trials: Develop and maintain a Master Test Index and coordinate all testing—from compartment air tests and alignment checks to dredge system performance trials. Author and review test procedures covering dockside and sea trial events: propulsion, electrical load balance, control system integration, drag arm operation, bottom door sequencing, and pump-ashore performance. Monitor and document system readiness using the project’s standardized Test Readiness Review (TRR) process and ensure all tests align with class, flag, and owner acceptance criteria. Participate in and document Dock Trials, Builder’s Sea Trials, and Dredge Performance Trials, verifying measured results against contract guarantees. Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory Compliance: Ensure compliance with ABS, U.S. Coast Guard, and environmental regulations relevant to vessel construction and testing. Monitor ESG’s implementation of environmental controls for dredging equipment—turbidity discharge, overflow management, and wash water containment. Participate in HAZIDs, Job Safety Analyses (JSAs), and risk assessments associated with dredge system testing, high-energy systems, and deck operations. Documentation, Turnover, and Operational Readiness: Compile and manage technical documentation for all major systems: equipment manuals, vendor data books, test records, and spares inventories. Support ESG and Dutra in developing operational readiness deliverables, including maintenance plans, spare parts listings, and crew training outlines. Validate system readiness for delivery and assist with commissioning reports, closeout documentation, and warranty tracking post-delivery. Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Marine, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering, or equivalent shipyard/field experience. 5–10 years of shipyard, new construction, or systems engineering experience. Strong knowledge of shipboard systems: propulsion, electrical distribution, hydraulics, automation, and HVAC. Experience with ABS class surveys, system inspections, and documentation requirements. Working knowledge of Primavera P6, MS Project, or similar scheduling tools. Excellent coordination, communication, and field engineering problem-solving skills. Able to interpret and apply design drawings, vendor documents, and technical specifications. Preferred Skills
Prior experience with trailing suction hopper dredges, dredge pumps, or offshore hydraulic systems. Familiarity with Royal IHC equipment or dredging automation/control systems. Experience in performance trials, testing documentation, and quality management processes. Understanding of environmental compliance and dredge performance metrics (yd³/hr, cycle time, pump curves). U.S. Coast Guard, Navy, or commercial shipyard construction background. Other Competencies
Strong organizational and documentation discipline; able to manage large data and drawing sets. Skilled communicator—able to translate between production teams, design engineers, and owners. Self-motivated, analytical, and capable of working with minimal supervision. Commitment to safety, integrity, and continuous improvement. Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite and familiarity with electronic drawing and document control tools.
