Job description

Job summary:

Tasks: Hydrodynamic & Geotechnicalanalysis, mooring and subsea systems

Projects: Offshore structures & FPSOs

Company: EPCI offshore contractor and offshore fleet owner & operator

Main requirements: +3 years of experience with geotechnical & hydrodynamic analysis of offshore structures

Your opportunity:

As aGeotechnical OffshoreEngineer, you will work on the design of anchoring and foundation solutions for complex offshore structures, SPM systems and FPSOs.

You will be involved from the interpretation of site investigation data and geotechnical calculations through detailed anchor design, vendor coordination and offshore installation. This gives you the opportunity to follow your engineering all the way from the office to execution offshore.

What you will do:

• Preparegeotechnical designs for anchor points, including piles, monopiles, suction caissons and drag anchors
• Perform geotechnical stability calculations foroffshore foundations
• Analyse and interpret site investigation and soil data for offshore and nearshore projects
• Translate geotechnical conditions into engineering requirements for mooring, anchoring and foundation systems
• Manage geotechnical interfaces with otherengineering teams, ensuring loads, foundation behaviour and system requirements are properly integrated
