Description
Context
Our client is a confidential major international EPCI contractor in offshore and subsea construction, whose installation engineering organisation prepares the detailed engineering for projects worldwide. Established project, engineering and QHSE teams support the full scope, from analysis through to offshore execution.
Project scope
The assignment supports the installation analysis team in developing the detailed engineering required to execute the project. The engineer performs installation analyses (global and local) for subsea installation operations - lay, lifting and lowering, on-bottom stability and structure/SURF installation - verifying feasibility against vessel and barge capabilities and environmental conditions. The role is autonomous, under a manager and interfacing with the other disciplines and offshore operations, with onshore/offshore missions. Onsite in the Paris area, 12 months from ASAP.
Role overview
To deliver subsea installation analysis for the detailed engineering of installation operations, ensuring feasibility against vessel, barge and environmental constraints.
Reporting line: You will report to the installation analysis / engineering manager (exact reporting line to be confirmed), working autonomously and interfacing with the other disciplines and offshore operations.
