ICV Lead - Oil & Gas Maintenance Project

About the role

A maintenance project in Oman is scaling up and needs an ICV Lead to join the team. The role leads the PMC team's manpower planning and mobilisation during the start-up phase: building the staffing plan, coordinating CV and approval submissions and tracking each position's readiness. It reports to the Technical Services Manager and works closely with the main contractor's HR function. The position is based in Muscat, Oman, and is full-time and project-based, running through an initial mobilisation phase and then the main execution phase of a multi-year contract.

Key responsibilities

• Build and maintain the PMC team's manpower plan, aligned to the project's scope, KPIs and programme, covering positions by function and location, start dates and the Omani and expatriate staffing mix.
• Check the manpower plan against the client's personnel specifications, including minimum experience, qualifications and benchmark grades, for every position.
• Support shortlisting, CV compilation and certificate verification; final recruitment approval rests with the main contractor's HR function.
• Prepare CV, interview and approval submission packs for key and core personnel, with supporting job descriptions.
• Draft and maintain the Mobilisation Plan (people, equipment, facilities, subcontractors and permits) and its completion tracker.
• Track personnel readiness ahead of the contract's effective date, including visas, medical clearances, inductions, site passes and handovers.
• Coordinate with the main contractor's In-Country Value function on Omanisation targets and reporting.
• Hand over the mobilisation function to the Mobilisation Coordinator as the project moves into full execution.

Required profile

• Proven background managing, executing or governing long-term maintenance contracts, brownfield projects or service agreements.
• Direct, hands-on experience on major national oil company assets in Oman, with familiarity with operator HSE procedures and technical specifications.
• Demonstrated operational and technical expertise on oil and gas maintenance projects, across upstream, midstream or downstream facilities.
• Minimum 12 years of experience in manpower planning, HR or mobilisation within oil and gas, EPC or industrial services environments.
• Relevant degree, with working knowledge of Omani labour law and Omanisation requirements.
• Omani nationals are strongly encouraged to apply.
• Prior experience supporting mobilisation on a large maintenance, EPC or integrated services contract is an advantage.
