OVERVIEW OF ROLE
Subsea 7 are seeking dedicated and driven individuals to join our Structures and Piping Discipline within the Global Project Centre & Asia Pacific (GPC&AP) Engineering Team based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The Subsea Structural Engineer specialises in the structural design and analysis of Subsea Structures (e.g. PLETs, ILTs and manifolds) and provides structural engineering support to several other project disciplines.
All personnel are expected to contribute to creating a positive HSEQ culture within Subsea 7 and ensure familiarity with and adherence to local HSEQ codes and practice
SPECIFIC KEY RESPONSIBILITIES & ACTIVITIES
• Provide skills and knowledge in key areas of subsea structural design engineering, including design codes, legislative requirements and good engineering practice
• Provide in-place, transportation, lifting, deployment, retrieval and sea-fastening design for subsea structures like PLETs, ILTs as well as ancillaries for subsea installation of SPS, SURF and pipelines
• Provide structural analysis for various subsea structures, installation aids, lifting equipment and sea fastening arrangements utilizing NSO/Isymost, ABAQUS or similar structural analysis software
• Take responsibility for production of deliverables, which may include preparation and checking of design reports, engineering support to drawing office, design calculations, specifications, MTOs, tender documents, bid evaluations, FEED study reports and various third-party submissions.
• Design and detailing in accordance with acknowledged industry codes, standards and design guidelines (e.g., API, DNV, AISC, ISO, client specifications and scopes of work
• Liaise with associated subsea related disciplines and understand the interfaces within a project
• Provide specialist structural engineering assistance during occasional periods of offshore or fabrication site working
• Actively participate in relevant training to pursue continuing professional development
