Structural / Mechanical Engineer – Projects

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Review and validate detailed engineering documents related to lifting, load-out, sea fastening, rigging, and installation methodology.
• Interface with structural designers, marine warranty surveyors (MWS), and naval architects to finalize engineering calculations.
• Support installation method statements and risk assessments (RAMS, HIRA).
• Provide engineering support for barge transportation, lifting (crane or float-over), upending, and pile driving operations.
• Review T&I drawings, rigging plans, grillage and sea-fastening designs, and installation sequences.
• Monitor offshore campaigns during jacket launch, pile driving, or topside lift/float-over.
• Act as an offshore field engineer or client representative during jacket and topside installation.
• Coordinate with vessel teams, subcontractors, marine spreads (crane barges, tugs), and construction management.
• Ensure real-time tracking of operations and document deviations or incidents.
• Supervise jacket and topside load-out at fabrication yard with alignment and weighing.
• Witness barge ballasting, skid-shoe placements, and tie-downs for transportation.
• Validate rigging inspection and load test records.
• Enforce structural integrity and safety of lifting/towing/launching operations.
• Ensure all marine activities are in compliance with project HSE and QA/QC standards.
• Support incident investigations and root cause analysis if any anomalies occur during T&I.

Must Have Skill:

• E. / B.Tech in Structural, Mechanical, Marine or Offshore Engineering
• 12+yrs of experience in offshore T&I projects, including experience with jacket launch, pile installation, and topside lifting/float-over.
• Understanding of API RP 2A, DNV-GL, AISC, ISO offshore codes
• Familiarity with marine spread (crane barge, launch barge, tugs) operations
• Load-out calculations, lift analysis, rigging design
• Use of tools like SACS, Pro, Orcaflex, MOSES, or AutoPIPE
  Marine Ops Knowledge | Installation sequencing, float-over methods, ballasting, barge stability

Expected Outcome:

• Incident-free installation of jackets and topsides in line with marine and lifting safety
• Adherence to project specs, marine class requirements, and client/MWS approvals
• Timely completion of T&I operations with minimum downtime or rework
• Effective interface with marine, structural, and HSE teams across pre-installation to offshore phases
• Complete and accurate post-operation documentation, installation logs, and red-line markups
