• Collaborate with SURF structural engineers on topics related to subsea structures and foundations deliverables.

Qualifications & Experience:

• Master’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Subsea, or related field).
• 15+ years of experience in large offshore oil & gas subsea projects, with a strong focus on SPS Tie-In Connection Engineering.
• Recent and relevant experience with major SPS/SURF contractors (e.g., Aker Solutions, TechnipFMC, Subsea 7) in deepwater environments.
• Strong experience in subsea tie-in connection systems (horizontal/vertical, rigid/flexible systems) and interface engineering (jumpers, connectors, hubs, installation tooling).
• Experience with subsea structures (foundations, manifolds, PLETs).

Technical Skills:

• Design and engineering of subsea tie-in systems and structures.
• Review and approval of contractor deliverables (drawings, procedures, installation analyses).
• Validation of installation methodologies (tie-in procedures, alignment strategies).
• Knowledge of relevant codes and standards (DNV, API, ISO).
