Your expertise will be vital in performing structural calculations, designing lifting and rigging systems, and ensuring the integrity of seafastening solutions for deepwater and shallow water field developments.

Responsibilities
  • Design incorporated subsea structures, installation aids, and seafastening systems for offshore field development projects.
  • Conduct structural analyses, calculations, design, verification, and studies as assigned by the Subsea Structural Lead.
  • Provide data and specifications to Designers for creating 3D and 2D design drawings; review and approve these drawings.
  • Interface with other project specialists (installation, geotechnical, flowline, subsea equipment, fabrication) and design teams.

  • Support the Subsea Structural Lead in coordinating and reviewing technical activities internally and externally.
  • Participate in project meetings, engineering coordination, client and contractor interface meetings, technical reviews, HSE, and risk assessments.
  • Design structural systems focusing on robustness, cost-effectiveness, constructability, and safety.
  • Select appropriate design loads, boundary conditions, and materials to optimize installation and operational configurations.
  • Ensure structural designs meet all functional, constructability, and offshore instability requirements.
  • Verify that permanent structures are reliable over the field's lifespan, considering redundancy, corrosion, fatigue, and maintenance needs.
  • Collaborate with other disciplines to confirm load cases, fabrication assumptions, and technical solutions.
  • Perform and supervise structural analyses using industry-standard software (FEA suites such as SACS, ABAQUS, or ANSYS).
  • Provide data for the creation of detailed design drawings and supervise the review and approval process.
  • Review client technical documentation and respond to client comments.
  • Contribute to defining structural design premises, writing reports, and calculation notes.
  • Supervise the preparation of bills of quantities (BOQ) and material take-offs (MTO).

Requirements
  • Master's or Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical or Civil Engineering.
  • 3-5 years of experience as a structural engineer within the offshore oil and gas or wind industries.
  • Proficiency in English.
  • Technical expertise in structural analysis, design, and verification, with experience using FEA software such as SACS, ABAQUS, or ANSYS.
  • Knowledge of CAD tools including AutoCAD, Inventor, or SolidWorks.
  • Willingness to travel abroad based on project needs and scope.
