The Future
Our vision is to lead the way in the delivery of offshore projects and services for the energy industry.
Our Pipeline Group (PG) offer consistent and progressive delivery of global rigid pipeline systems, through locally tailored solutions, automation and strategic supply chain partnerships.
An Estimator (PG) is a key part of a collaborative tendering group that support all the Subsea 7 regions in developing and delivering winning rigid pipelay tenders, offering maximum value to the client. Working with other Estimators and a Senior Estimator, they will operate using processes and standards approved by the Subsea 7 Sales & Marketing function, with an emphasis on continuous improvement and consistent, high performance delivery.
It is expected that they will embrace digitalisation to improve efficiency and automation of the tendering process, facilitating higher quality deliverables, improved identification and management of project risk and an all-round greater optimised solution. They will fully participate in embedding a culture of excellence within the tendering group.
Our Role
