FLOWLINE ENGINEER
MISSION AND JOB DESCRIPTION
You will join an international team of about thirty colleagues and will be assigned to a project workgroup.
Your missions will cover several phases: responses to calls for tenders, detailed studies, and project execution.
You will report functionally to the head of underwater pipeline engineering and operationally to the engineer responsible for these activities on projects.
Thus, your main tasks will be as follows:
• Document and technical specifications reviews from our clients, drafting descriptions of the proposed infrastructures during the tender phase;
• Active participation in engineering reviews;
• Interface resolution with other infrastructures or disciplines.
• The measurements of materials and equipment needed such as pipes, elbows, forged parts;
• The study and detailed design of the pipelines;
• The detailed design of pipeline crossing structures, support frames, protection structures for pipelines against falling objects (anchors, drilling rods, containers, etc), final isometric pieces intended to accommodate line extensions ("spools & jumpers"),
• Fatigue resistance analyses (ocean currents, starting and restarting production, the history of stresses induced in the line during installation, pre-startup, or production phases);
• Calculations of thermal elongations, anchorage length, and estimation of compressive stresses induced by soil resistance, as well as analyses related to the buckling of pipes under pressure and temperature constraints
• Possible works to control buckling phenomena and axial instabilities related to the succession of operational cycles ("pipeline walking");
• Feedback from projects, consolidation and maintenance of technical tools, and technological vigilance on industry developments;
• Training and mentoring of young resources.
PROFILE
• Engineering degree (mechanical) In general, materials resistance, hydrodynamics, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, structure and/or naval and maritime architecture), you have at least 4 years of experience in the design of underwater pipelines;
• You are meticulous, you pay attention to detail, and you enjoy delivering quality work;
• Your interpersonal skills and responsiveness allow you to thrive calmly within diverse and multicultural teams;
• You are familiar with international standards and client specifications for the design of underwater pipelines;
• You have advanced knowledge of finite element calculation tools;
• You are comfortable with numerical simulations (e.g., Abaqus), data analysis, synthesis, and presentation of quantified data
• You are capable of independently developing the main tasks of offshore pipeline engineering;
• You have advanced skills in analysing buckling and walking phenomena;
• You master the fundamentals of the Python programming language;
• Proficiency in English is essential.
With over 90 years' combined experience, NES Fircroft (NES) is proud to be the world's leading engineering staffing provider spanning the Oil & Gas, Power & Renewables, Chemicals, Construction & Infrastructure, Life Sciences, Mining and Manufacturing sectors worldwide. With more than 80 offices in 45 countries, we are able to provide our clients with the engineering and technical expertise they need, wherever and whenever it is needed. We offer contractors far more than a traditional recruitment service, supporting with everything from securing visas and work permits, to providing market-leading benefits packages and accommodation, ensuring they are safely and compliantly able to support our clients.
