  • Manage the technical design scope, ensuring designs meet quality standards, technical requirements, and deadlines.
  • Support the lead engineer in delivering subsea engineering work for proposals and projects.
  • Provide expert engineering solutions for subsea systems, covering design, construction, installation, and operations.
  • Carry out and oversee structural design and analysis, mentoring junior engineers as needed.
  • Use industry-standard engineering software (e.g., SACS, ABAQUS) for structural analyses.
  • Develop designs following recognized codes and standards (e.g., DNV, ISO, API, ASME) and client requirements.
  • Deliver key project outputs, including design reports, drawings, specifications, calculations, and technical submissions.
  • Review technical documents to ensure compliance and performance of subsea applications.
  • Participate in internal, client, vendor, and project meetings.
  • Contribute to improving in-house design tools and methods.
  • Uphold safety and legal standards, and actively support quality and safety initiatives.
  • Guide, mentor, and help develop junior engineers.

 

Key Responsibilities

  • Plan and track subsea engineering work to meet budget and schedule goals.
