About the job STRUCTURAL ENGINEER (OFFSHORE)

We are seeking an experienced Structural Engineer with a strong background in offshore structures to work on the engineering phase of offshore oil and gas projects in Saudi Arabia. The role involves designing and analyzing jackets, topsides, decks, subsea structures, and other offshore facilities in compliance with international and Saudi Aramco standards. The ideal candidate should have expertise in structural analysis, load calculations, fatigue assessments, and offshore construction methodologies.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Perform structural analysis and design of offshore platforms, jackets, topsides, and subsea structures.
• Conduct static, dynamic, fatigue, and seismic analysis of offshore structures.
• Develop load-out, lifting, transportation, and installation studies for offshore structures.
• Ensure designs comply with API RP 2A, AISC, DNV, ABS, ISO, and Saudi Aramco standards.
• Prepare detailed engineering calculations, stress analysis, and finite element analysis (FEA).
• Perform in-place analysis, environmental loading analysis (wave, wind, and current effects), and stability analysis.
• Generate technical reports, specifications, and design documentation for engineering reviews.
• Work closely with structural designers and CAD teams to develop detailed 3D models and fabrication drawings.
• Ensure clash-free integration of structural designs with piping, mechanical, and electrical systems.
• Review and validate Tekla, Aveva E3D, PDMS, AutoCAD, and SACS models for accuracy and compliance.
• Provide engineering support during fabrication, installation, and commissioning of offshore structures.
• Conduct technical reviews, site visits, and inspections for offshore fabrication yards.
• Resolve design and construction-related issues in coordination with the site team.
• Ensure structural integrity, safety, and durability of offshore structures.
• Implement Aramco and international safety and quality standards in all engineering deliverables.
• Work with certifying authorities (DNV, ABS, Lloyds Register) for classification approvals.

KEY QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor's or Masters degree in Civil or Structural Engineering.
• 8+ years in offshore structural engineering for oil & gas projects.
• SACS, STAAD.Pro, ANSYS, Tekla, Aveva E3D, PDMS, AutoCAD, SESAM, FEMAP, Mathcad.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word) for reporting and documentation.
• Experience with API RP 2A, AISC, DNV, ABS, ISO, and Saudi Aramco standards.
• Understanding of offshore fabrication, transportation, and installation methodologies.
• Strong analytical skills, problem-solving abilities, and teamwork.
