Subsea Project Engineer

Position Overview

The Subsea Project Engineer provides engineering and project coordination across the full lifecycle of subsea field development projects. Acting as the technical bridge between design, procurement, and installation teams, this role ensures subsea systems are delivered on time, within budget, and in compliance with applicable codes and operator specifications. The position is critical for greenfield tiebacks and brownfield modifications alike.

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate engineering deliverables across subsea disciplines (SURF, controls, trees, manifolds) to maintain project schedules.
• Prepare and review technical specifications, data sheets, and material requisitions for subsea equipment.
• Manage design reviews, HAZIDs, HAZOPs, and value engineering workshops with contractors and suppliers.
• Track procurement milestones, fabrication progress, and FAT/SIT schedules for subsea hardware.
• Interface with onshore/offshore installation teams to resolve technical queries and site deviations.
• Develop and maintain project documentation including engineering execution plans, interface matrices, and risk registers.
• Support cost estimating, change order management, and invoice verification for subsea scopes.
• Liaise with regulatory bodies and third-party verification agencies to ensure design compliance.
• Prepare technical evaluation of contractor and vendor bids during tender phases.
• Provide offshore technical support during installation, hook-up, and commissioning campaigns.

Qualifications

Required

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Civil, Subsea, or Ocean Engineering (Master's preferred).
• Certifications: BOSIET/FOET with CA-EBS; Offshore Medical (OEUK or equivalent).
• Experience: 5–10 years in subsea project engineering with exposure to at least one full-field development cycle.
• Technical Skills: Proficiency in subsea system design codes (API 17A/17D, DNV-ST-F101, ASME B31.8); working knowledge of project management tools (Primavera P6, MS Project); experience with FAT/SIT execution.

Preferred

• Chartered Engineer status (CEng, PE, or equivalent).
• Experience with deepwater (>1,000 m) field developments.
• Familiarity with digital twin and 4D project dashboards.
• Prior exposure to subsea processing systems (boosting, separation, compression).
