Job Description:

We are seeking an experienced Offshore & Subsea Structural Engineer (Consultant) to join our team. As a consultant, you will play a key role in the design, analysis, and execution of structural systems for offshore and subsea facilities, with a particular focus on executive projects within the oil & gas sector. This consultancy role requires expertise in structural engineering principles, offshore platform design, subsea structures, and a strong understanding of the unique challenges posed by marine environments.

Key Responsibilities:

Structural Design & Analysis: Perform detailed structural analysis and design for offshore platforms, subsea installations, and other marine structures using industry-standard software and methodologies.

Executive Project Engineering: Lead and coordinate the structural engineering aspects of executive-level projects in the oil & gas sector, ensuring that designs meet project specifications, safety standards, and operational requirements.

Subsea Installation: Oversee the design and integrity of subsea structures, including templates, manifolds, pipelines, and risers, ensuring compliance with relevant codes and standards.

Load Assessment: Conduct load assessments, including environmental loads (wave, wind, current), and ensure that structures are designed to withstand operational and extreme conditions.

Regulatory Compliance: Ensure all designs and installations comply with relevant industry standards, local regulations, and safety guidelines (e.g., DNV, API, ISO).

Risk Management: Identify and mitigate risks related to structural integrity and subsea installations, including fatigue, corrosion, and accidental impacts.

Technical Documentation: Prepare and review technical reports, specifications, and calculations related to offshore and subsea structural engineering, with a focus on detailed engineering for oil & gas projects.

Project Execution Support: Provide technical support during project execution, including fabrication, installation, and commissioning phases, particularly for complex oil & gas infrastructure.
