Handling & Lifting Superintendent
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Handling & Lifting Superintendent oversees lifting, cargo handling, rigging and material movements for offshore or major construction projects. Candidates typically need substantial experience in heavy lifting and offshore operations, strong knowledge of lifting plans, cranes, rigging equipment, permits and international safety standards, and relevant lifting or supervisory certifications. The role requires proven leadership of multicultural teams, coordination with engineering, marine, logistics and HSE departments, and the ability to manage work safely under demanding schedules. The successful candidate is expected to inspect equipment, verify procedures, supervise contractors, resolve operational issues and maintain accurate documentation. Offshore experience, sound judgment, clear communication and a strong commitment to zero-incident performance are likely essential.
Can I work in Indonesia?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Employer plan as a specialist with 5 years' experience; in 2018 the energy ministry said HSE, supply-chain, quality-control and junior structural posts stay closed.
Before you apply: Many rigs and platforms ask for an offshore safety induction with helicopter escape training (BOSIET, or its tropical version TBOSIET; refresher within 4 years) and an offshore medical. Ship crews need sea-safety certificates (STCW). Ask who pays.
Watch for: Since March 2018 the plan goes straight to the Ministry of Manpower, with no SKK Migas letter; whether the 2013 closed-posts list still binds was not confirmed.
Official source: Ministry of Manpower: TKA Online, foreign-worker plan approval. Checked November 2026.
