Key Responsibilities
You will provide technical expertise across multiple subsea pipeline projects, including:
Engineering & Design

• Provide pipeline technology input during Concept and FEED studies.
• Deliver pipeline and spool design from tender phase through detailed engineering.
• Develop and optimise pipeline routing and subsea field layouts.
• Perform mechanical design of rigid pipelines and flowlines.
• Execute in-place design of rigid and flexible flowlines.
• Conduct on-bottom stability, roughness, and free-span assessments.
• Design pipe-in-pipe and bundled pipeline systems.
• Perform trawl impact and pull-over analyses.
• Execute pipeline pull-in assessments.
• Design spools for tie-ins and thermal expansion requirements.
• Design and assess pipeline components.

Technical Coordination & Project Interface

• Contribute to pipeline technology development initiatives.
• Coordinate across welding, materials, structural, hydrodynamics, and geotechnical disciplines.
• Follow up design scopes delivered by internal teams and subcontractors.
