Environment Operations Engineer at Aldelia Limited

Service dimensions

• This service leads environmental compliance, methane and greenhouse-gas monitoring across offshore, deepwater, onshore, terminal and third-party oil and gas facilities. It combines OGMP 2.0 reporting, QLDAR, emissions measurement, produced-water monitoring, soil and groundwater monitoring, regulatory assurance and digital reporting. The service holder coordinates field campaigns, contractors and multidisciplinary teams, converts verified data into practical recommendations, and supports safe operations, methane reduction and corporate decarbonisation objectives. The holder shall master Nigerian regulations, OSPAR and EPA guideline on GHG and Environmental compliance monitoring activities. Regular travel to operating locations is required.

• Develop annual work plans, budgets, scopes, technical specifications and schedules for environmental and emissions programmes. 
• Lead AUSEA and LDAR campaigns, including site reconnaissance, UGCS flight planning, meteorological review, permit coordination and field execution.
• Plan and execute QLDAR campaigns using OGI, QOGI, high-flow sampling, IRWIN, Inspectra laser and other approved technologies in line with OGMP 2.0 requirements.
• Maintain traceable equipment and emissions-source inventories for valves, flanges, pumps, compressors, vents, flares and combustion units.
• Coordinate leak repair and remeasurement with operations and maintenance teams, verify reductions and maintain current digital records.
• Prepare reconciliation report for Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG data, methane inventories, atmospheric-emissions reports and annual improvement roadmaps.
• Integrate source-level and site-level measurements with process, satellite and sensor data to improve inventory accuracy and identify significant sources.
• Assess flare, vent and combustion performance using the GHG measurement data and liaise with asset management to develop practical measures for emissions reduction and energy efficiency and initiate remeasurement.
• Support TUCN asset teams in implementing priority emissions-abatement initiatives, including flare-emissions reduction, operational and energy-efficiency improvements, gas utilisation, and activities aligned with the Nigerian Gas Flare Commercialisation Programme.
• Lead environmental monitoring of air, water, produced water, effluent, soil, sediment ground water, rainwater and noise across operating facilities.
• Liaise with production lab team to evaluate produced-water treatment performance using methane, TOG, TPH and related parameters, including settling tank, hydro cyclone and compact flotation unit performance.
• Manage environmental compliance audits, inspections and laboratory analysis pollution investigations and responses to environmental claims
• Obtain Point source permits and conduct certification of sampling points with Relevant Nigeria regulatory agencies
• Support ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 systems and ensure timely closure of environmental compliance monitoring related actions and non-conformities.
• Laise with the drilling team to obtain effluent waste discharge permit for well intervention development and infill well drilling campaign in TUCN facilities
• Provide technical oversight of laboratory activities, analytical methods, calibration and ISO/IEC 17025 quality controls.
• Develop Power BI dashboards, Power Apps, PI Vision displays, SharePoint records and management reports for performance monitoring and decision-making.
• Manage monitoring contracts, contractor mobilisation, technical evaluations, procurement documentation, budgets, invoices and vendor performance.
• Prepare concise technical reports, regulatory submissions, campaign updates and management briefings, and coach teams on safe execution, QA/QC and data integrity.
• Provide environmental monitoring and technical advice during incidents and emergency response
• Support environmental and compliance audits conducted by Group Headquarters and authorised external organisations, as applicable to Company operations.
