Noorhisham the Offshore Construction Superintendent OCS (The one who wearing ‘big’ Red Wing Coverall) Bache Minggu the Rigger Leaderman (The one in the middle holding ‘keropok’ with his left hand) & the one and only Nawawi, Snr. Field Engineer No. 1 (The one with a smile and green helmet… ops.. and also with lift chart, calculator, barge set-up pattern, walkie talkie, measuring tape, and white pagoda t-shirt inside his coverall) dont forget, me… the one who take this Picture.

- Thats why Mr Nawawi always holding the lift cart and in his left leg pocket there is a full A6 Size of installation procedure. You wont see in in the picture.
- He is to work close liaison with the CSR and the construction Superintendent to advise on the tecnical aspect related to the project.
- He coordinates and requests from the construction superintendent or the Barge Foreman any resources required by his subordinates.
- This is where the walkie talkie is putting in action.
- He shall review project planning with a view to improve on the completion date, if possible during implementation. He shall at all times know the current progress of the project with respect to planning. He should be able to give details of why a project is ahead/behind schedule at all times. -
- Field engineer will only able to answer this question around 0.5 hrs after wake-up from his sleep!!!
