Job Summary:

An Equipment Superintendent is regarded as someone who can direct and lead personnel in order to achieve the outcomes of the work scope.

It is for this reason that operational experience forms an important part of the criteria for this grade.

To this end, formal assessment qualifications are often required, and their ability to assess personnel is assessed in line with IMCA guidelines.

In practise there is some overlap between Equipment Superintendent and Offshore Project Manager.
