• Develop and review technical specifications, drawings, and datasheets for subsea equipment and services.
• Oversee subsea installation planning and execution strategies, working closely with marine operations.
• Conduct technical reviews and provide expert input on subsea-related challenges.
• Collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams including project managers, naval architects, and construction personnel.
• Manage and mentor junior subsea engineers within the remote team.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards, regulations, and company best practices for subsea engineering.
• Participate in HAZID, HAZOP, and other risk assessment studies related to subsea operations.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Civil, or Naval Engineering; a Master's degree is advantageous.
• Minimum of 10 years of experience in subsea engineering within the Oil & Gas industry, with significant offshore project experience.
• Proven expertise in subsea system design, analysis (using software like ANSYS, ABAQUS), and installation.
• Familiarity with relevant international codes and standards (e.g., API, ISO).
• Experience in managing subsea engineering packages and interfacing with vendors and contractors.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Strong communication, leadership, and virtual collaboration capabilities.
• Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and deliver results in a remote environment.
• Experience with subsea processing and unconventional field developments is a plus.

Benefits

• Our client provides a highly competitive salary package and a comprehensive benefits program tailored for remote employees.
• This includes excellent health coverage, opportunities for performance-based incentives, and support for continuous professional development.
• This fully remote role offers the flexibility to work from anywhere, contributing to critical offshore Oil & Gas projects.
• Be part of pioneering advancements in subsea technology and engineering, with administrative support connected to Richards Bay.
• This role empowers you to excel in a flexible work arrangement while impacting global energy infrastructure.
