Subsea Structural Engineer

Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced Sub-Sea Structural Design Engineer to join a major Oil & Gas EPC project team. The successful candidate will lead and execute structural analysis and design of subsea assets — manifolds, PLETs/ILTs, flowlines mitigation devices, and foundation structures — using advanced FEM tools (ANSYS and/or Abaqus, and SACS). This role spans the full project lifecycle from FEED through detailed design to installation support.
Key Responsibilities
Develop and validate FEM models (ANSYS Mechanical / APDL / Abaqus) for subsea structures; perform static, non-linear, fatigue (S-N / fracture mechanics), and buckling analyses.
Execute ULS, FLS, ALS, and SLS checks per applicable offshore codes (DNV, API, ISO, NORSOK, Eurocode 3).
Structural design and sizing of subsea steel — manifolds, mudmat foundations, spool supports, suction piles, and tie-in structures.
Perform lifting, load-out, sea-fastening, and installation analyses; design lifting pad-eyes and rigging arrangements.
Conduct piping design assessments; integrate with structural global analyses (SACS, SESAM, CAESAR II) as well as forged pieces design (Abaqus)
Prepare, check, and approve structural calculation packages, engineering reports, and IFC deliverables.
Interface with installation method, pipeline, naval architecture, geotechnical, and process disciplines within multi-discipline EPC teams.
Mentor junior engineers and support client design reviews, ,.
Qualifications & Experience
B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in Structural, Civil, Mechanical, or Ocean/Offshore Engineering.
5–15 years in structural engineering within Oil & Gas, Offshore EPC, or Marine sectors.
Demonstrated ANSYS and/or Abaqus FEM delivery on subsea or offshore structures.
Deepwater project experience (>500 m) is a strong advantage.
Chartered Engineer (CEng — IStructE / ICE / IMechE) preferred.
BOSIET / HUET offshore safety certification (required for site/vessel access).
Prior experience at Saipem, TechnipFMC, Subsea 7, McDermott, Aker Solutions, Oceaneering, Wood, or Worley is advantageous.
Materials knowledge: CS, duplex/superduplex SS, CRA clad, Inconel alloys.
