Job Title: Senior Subsea Structural Engineer
Location: Lagos
Employment Type: Full-time

Job Summary

In charge of the design of incorporated subsea structures and/or associated installation aids, for deepwater and shallow-water field development
Perform technical tasks assigned by the Subsea Structural Lead such as structural analyses, calculations, design, verification or study activities, specification/requisition writing
Provide data to Designers to allow the creation of 3D and 2D design drawings. Review the 2D design drawings
Cumulate an experience about the design limitations and constraints imposed by offshore installation and related vessels
Provide support to the Subsea Structural lead for coordination and review of technical activities performed inside or outside the company.
Interface with other Project Specialists (installation, geotechnical, flowline, subsea equipment, fabrication, etc.) and Designers

Main Responsibilities

Design structural systems and components, pursuing objectives of robust engineering and design optimization in terms of costs, fabrication simplicity, constructability, and safety, in particular
Select the profiles and materials as standard as possible to simplify the procurement. Local procurement can be a constraint if requested by the project
Check the permanent structures are sufficiently reliable over time, without maintenance during the subsea field life.
Particularly considering the need for redundancy, high reliability, as well as corrosion and fatigue aspect
Select the most relevant design loads and boundary conditions to maximize the installation and in-place acceptable
configurations, even unexpected, but always reasonably
Check the selected design complies with all the structure functionalities, including constructability and offshore installability constraints
Check that the installation aids are focused on operational practicality and on the safety of workers
For permanent structure, liaise with other Project discipline teams (offshore installation, geotechnical, flowline, subsea equipment, fabrication, material, etc.), whenever required for proper completion of the work assigned, particularly to obtain the confirmation of the preliminary load cases or fabrication assumption considered at the start of the project
For installation aids structure, liaise with the Installation method team to clarify the functional scope of work used as a basis and to define the technical structural solution
Review Client technical documentation and requirements. Answers to the Client's comments
Contribute to defining structural design premises
Write design reports and calculation notes
Supervise setting up of bills of quantities or material take-off (MTO
Contribute when required, to specifications for structural fabrications and all related items such as bearing systems, bolts, cladding, grating, etc.
Provide support to the Subsea Structural Lead for coordination and review of technical activities performed inside or outside the company.
Perform field engineering activities (if and when needed by the project activities)
Carry out/Check/Supervise structural analyses. Particularly, define own load and boundary condition assumption, as well as a good level of modelization (hand calculation, beam model, FEA model), is sufficient to provide the demonstration of the structure capacity
Use the industry calculation software following the user manual, for a good selection and application of the numerical tools
Interface with the Designer to Provide data necessary for the creation of 3D and 2D design drawings (including geometrical, material, welding, tolerance, and functional data). Supervise/Approve steel structure design drawings
