Description

MISSIONS / SERVICE DIMENSIONS

The Topside Structure / Weight Control Engineer ensures the structural integrity and weight compliance of FPSO topside modules throughout the EPSCC phases, Key missions include:

• Monitor and validate structural design and weight control activities performed by contractors and vendors.
• Ensure topside weight and center of gravity (CoG) evolution remains within marine and structural constraints.
• Assist the Topsides Structural Lead in managing technical interfaces and compliance with project specifications.
• Contribute to the traceability and consistency of structural and weight-related decisions across engineering phases.
• Participate in design reviews, technical clarifications, and anomaly resolution processes.
• Promote & comply in all activities with applicable safety instructions and other company HSE rules.

ACTIVITIES

• Review contractor deliverables including structural drawings, calculation notes, FEM analyses, and lifting/marine operation reports.
• Track and validate weight data and CoG evolution using dedicated weight control tools and registers.
• Participate in multidisciplinary design reviews (e.g., model reviews, HAZID/HAZOP) and coordinate with process, layout, piping, and marine teams.
• Interface with contractors and subcontractors to ensure constructability and compliance with structural and weight requirements.
• Support the Topsides Structural Lead in managing deviations, changes, and anomaly reporting related to topside structure and weight control.

CONTEXT & ENVIRONMENT

• The Venus FPSO will operate in ultra-deepwater at roughly 3,000 m and is designed to process 160,000 bbl./d of oil with advanced systems to manage large volumes of associated gas, which will be re-injected to maintain reservoir pressure. The unit will be permanently spread-moored using a 16-line mooring system, engineered to ensure station-keeping in relatively harsh Atlantic conditions. The development includes up to 40 subsea wells tied back to the FPSO via the subsea architecture.
• International and multi-cultural environment.
• Position permanently based in EPSCC Contractor premises.
• Frequent mission aboard.

DURATION / LOCATION

• Starting date: October 2026 (subject to FID)
• Duration: 1 year to 4 years after FPSO contract Award
• Renewable: Yes
• Location: Between 1 and 2 years in Paris – France, up to 18 months in Singapore, up to 18 months in Geoje – South Korea.
• Status: Residential
• Degree in Structural Engineering, Naval Architecture, or Mechanical Engineering.
• Minimum 5–10 years of experience in offshore structural engineering, including FPSO topside design and weight control.
• Experience working in client-side roles within EPSCC project environments.
• Proficiency in structural analysis tools and weight control systems.
• Familiarity with international standards such as API, Eurocodes, ISO, and marine classification rules.
• Strong coordination and communication skills in a multidisciplinary and multicultural project environment.
