Preservation and Project Flawless Coordinator - Vancouver - Woodfibre LNG

Description

Preservation and Project Flawless Coordinator (2-year contract)

Base pay range: CA$120,000.00/yr – CA$140,000.00/yr

Project Overview

Woodfibre LNG Project is located approximately 7 km west-southwest of Squamish, British Columbia. The project involves the construction and operation of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility at the former Woodfibre pulp mill site, with a storage capacity of 250,000 m³ and an annual production of approximately 2.1 million tons of LNG.

Woodfibre Management Ltd., a privately held Canadian company based in Vancouver and a subsidiary of Pacific Energy Corporation Limited, owns the project.

Role Overview

The Preservation and Project Flawless Coordinator is an integral part of Woodfibre LNG's dynamic team. Reporting to the Commissioning Manager, the role safeguards all project‑critical equipment and systems from deterioration during fabrication, transport, storage, installation, and pre‑commissioning while driving the Project Flawless philosophy across procurement, construction, and commissioning to eliminate defects before they reach the site. The role is execution‑heavy, discipline‑agnostic, and central to avoiding costly rework, schedule delays, and warranty disputes.

Key Responsibilities

• Preservation Management for Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation, Static & Rotating Equipment.
• Ensure the EPC contractor has an effective Preservation Execution Plan aligned with vendor manuals, OEM data sheets, and contract requirements.
• Validate the correctness of detailed Preservation Checklists for all equipment classes (pumps, compressors, turbines, switchgear, MCCs, analyzers, instruments, valves, tanks, vessels, skids, packages).
• Oversee the Preservation Matrix across procurement, construction, and commissioning.
• Implement tag‑based preservation tracking integrated into materials management (e.g., project‑specific CMS).
• Define preservation intervals (7‑day, 30‑day, etc.) and ensure discipline teams perform required activities.
• Supervise application of desiccants, purging, blinds, oil misting, nitrogen blanket, and rotating equipment turning.
• Ensure correct preservation is applied through warehouses and lay‑down yards.
• Conduct routine preservation audits of site temporary fabrication yards, warehouses, subcontractor facilities, and site storage yards.
• Oversee preservation during transit, lifting, and installation, ensuring rigging and handling do not breach OEM requirements.
• Ensure proper preservation of electrical systems (space heaters, humidity control, insulation tests repeated on defined intervals).
• Ensure the EPC contractor correctly manages temporary power, climate control, and HVAC where environmental exposure threatens equipment integrity.
• Lead represervation activities prior to system walk‑downs, turnover, and commissioning.
• Provide company sign‑off on preservation punch lists and ensure closure before subsystem handover.

Project Flawless Coordination

• Implement Flawless Project Delivery (FPD) across fabrication, construction, and commissioning.
• Coordinate structured Flawless Reviews: design phase reviews, operations input, readiness reviews, vendor FAT/SAT oversight.
• Maintain and track the Flawless Action Register (FAR) ensuring responsible discipline owners close actions on time.
• Drive defect elimination culture—behaviors, discipline ownership, accountability.
• Facilitate Lessons Learned workshops and ensure actionable items are integrated into the project.
• Monitor critical equipment readiness, ensuring all preservation and quality hold points are met before energization or commissioning.
• Implement early engagement with operations to validate maintainability, operability, and commissioning logic.
• Conduct defect & punch‑list prevention workshops targeting high‑risk systems (utilities, power, rotating machinery, control systems).
• Ensure EPC contractor tracks system readiness using A‑B‑C turnover philosophy to avoid late discoveries before MC and RFC.
• Support RAM, SIL, HF, PSSR, HAZOP/HAZID integration to ensure safety conclusions are implemented in design and field execution.
• Act as the interface coordinator across QA/QC, construction, and commissioning for all Flawless issues.

Interface & Controls

• Coordinate with engineering, procurement, logistics, warehouse, fabrication yards, construction, and commissioning to embed preservation requirements throughout.
• Ensure EPC contractor properly manages preservation records in Mechanical Completion systems (PIMS, Go‑Completions, Hexagon, etc.).
• Ensure vendors provide preservation certificates, data sheets, and preservation summary reports prior to acceptance.
• Oversee preservation during delays, ensuring long‑lead equipment is not compromised during prolonged storage or incomplete installation.
• Report KPI performance to senior management.
• Develop mitigation plans where preservation failures or defect risks threaten critical‑path systems.
• Raise NCRs where preservation has not been carried out as per vendor recommendations.

Professional Experience

• 20 years in Oil & Gas, Refinery, Petrochemical, LNG, or similar heavy industrial PMC/EPC projects.
• Minimum 5 years direct experience in preservation management & equipment integrity.
• Minimum 5 years experience in Project Flawless delivery, preferably within a major IOC.
• Strong background in operations, commissioning, mechanical completion, QA/QC, and construction activities.
• Demonstrated history managing preservation of rotating equipment, static equipment, electrical systems, instrumentation, analyzers, and packaged equipment.

Additional Requirements

• Experience working with large multidisciplinary teams and contractors in a multicultural environment.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to be innovative and vision‑oriented, with strategic planning and implementation capability.
• Ability to work well under pressure, handle multiple tasks, and change priorities within tight time frames.
• Demonstrates accountability and teamwork.
• Proficiency with computer programs (Office 365, MS Teams, MS Visio, MS Project, Adobe Acrobat, DocuSign).
• Motivation to take ownership of tasks and pursue continuous improvement.
• Shares knowledge readily and encourages personal development.
• Valid driver's license and passport.
• Legally entitled to work in Canada.
• Combination of office and site‑based work; initial stay period at the Vancouver office, with visits to the project site as required.
