Job description

Join our global team

We devise smarter systems to support our customers in meeting their energy supply needs. Innovating in the energy industry, our flexible pipe systems are industry leading. Our global engineering team is responsible for delivering all aspects of design, development, and delivery of our customer projects.

Partner with the best

As an FEA Analysis Engineer, you will work within the Flexible Pipe Systems Engineering team, providing analysis engineering support from bid acquisition through to project execution. You will use engineering analysis and simulation tools to evaluate flexible riser systems and develop solutions for major global subsea projects.

You will create and interpret simulation models to predict structural response, loading, and performance under offshore operating conditions. Working closely with other engineering functions, you will help define technical solutions and ensure analysis activities bring value throughout tender and project execution.

The role provides an excellent opportunity to develop your expertise in Finite Element Analysis (FEA), structural mechanics, flexible riser systems, and offshore engineering. Full training will be provided on relevant software tools, products, and engineering methodologies.

As an FEA Analysis Engineer, you will be responsible for:

• Creating dynamic models using FEA software to simulate structural response in offshore environments.
• Designing and analysing flexible riser systems in accordance with customer specifications and industry standards.
• Assessing environmental, vessel, and operating data for implementation into engineering models.
• Performing structural engineering analysis, including loading, stress, and buckling assessments.
• Processing, interpreting, and validating engineering analysis results.
• Producing comprehensive technical and analysis reports for studies and project execution.
• Supporting continuous improvement and engineering automation initiatives.
• Collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering and project teams.

Fuel your passion

To be successful in this role you will:

• Have a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical, Structural, Civil, Aerospace Engineering, Science, Mathematics, or another relevant technical discipline.
• Have academic, internship, or professional experience with Finite Element Analysis (FEA), numerical modelling, or engineering simulation.
• Have an understanding of structural mechanics, stress analysis, dynamic analysis, or buckling behaviour.
• Have experience using engineering analysis or simulation software, with training provided on role-specific tools.
• Have strong analytical and problem-solving skills and the ability to interpret technical data.
• Have the ability to communicate technical findings through reports and engineering documentation.
• Be able to collaborate effectively within a multidisciplinary engineering team.
• Have a permanent right to work in the UK.

Work in a way that works for you

We recognize that everyone is different and that the way in which people want to work and deliver at their best is different for everyone too. In this role, we can offer the following flexible working patterns:

• 4 days from the office
• 1 day working from home

One of our core values as a business is collaboration and, as such, whilst flexible work options are available, we believe there is a great benefit in having our teams co-located in one of our many offices in the United Kingdom.

Working with us

Our people are at the heart of what we do at Baker Hughes. We know we are better when all of our people are developed, engaged, and able to bring their whole authentic selves to work. We invest in the health and wellbeing of our workforce, train and reward talent, and develop leaders at all levels to bring out the best in each other.

Working for you

Our inventions have revolutionised energy for over a century. But to keep going forward tomorrow we know we have to push the boundaries today. We prioritise rewarding those who embrace change with a package that reflects how much we value their input. Join us, and you can expect:

• Contemporary work-life balance policies and wellbeing activities.

• Comprehensive private medical care options.

• Safety net of life insurance and disability programs.

• Tailored financial programs.

• Additional elected or voluntary benefits.
