Start date: March 2025
Duration: 12 months
Renewable: Yes (up to 5 years)
Status: Residential
The SPS Material and Welding Engineer will be in charge of all the Material / Welding and NDE aspects of the SPS package ie covering activities from design, qualification, supply, manufacturing, and construction to pre-com. / commissioning for operation.
It shall ensure overall consistency with good industry practices and respect for code / technical standards requirements. This will include but not be limited to and be reviewing, approving and dossiers Call For Tender and EPFS phases for the SPS system for a very deep water oil greenfield project.

3. Be informed of SPS-related Company Rules and Specifications (CR’s/GS’s), international norms, and standards, extracting all the applicable requirements for the SPS package.
4. Identify, implement, and manage any study, or/and qualification program that would be requested for SPS engineering, construction, fabrication, testing, installation.
5. Ensure that all engineering, fabrication, construction, testing, qualification pre-commissioning, and commissioning aspects are suitably addressed during the different engineering phases by timely reviewing (or having reviewed) and validating the relevant SPS documentation issued by Contractor(s) (technical documentation/queries/derogation requests).
6. Coordinate the Materials, Welding & NDE studies related to design, risk analysis, QA/QC, etc.
7. Ensure a clear definition of the technical scope of work and interfaces between contracts, produce required CFT documentation, and review bidders' proposed execution plan and schedule.
8. Supervise and approve of Materials, Welding & NDE-related detailed design activities and support Engineering Manager in advising on and supporting qualification activities, linked to the use of new or non-standard/common technology (NDE, Welding & Materials matters, etc.)
9. Coordinate welding and NDT expertise and audit and vetting of equipment and service providers for the Welding & Materials procurement and construction
10. Welding competence requirements; knowledge of low alloy steel F22/8630 A77 etc, buttered connections, weld overlay, super duplex stainless steel butt welding of large bore
11. Define, develop, issue and maintain all necessary technical documentation related to the SPS packages. Support and participate also to the development and maintenance of Project Management main documents (SOR, FDP, PEP, PQP, Risks, etc.) for SPS matters.
12. Ensure that HSE&Q issues are correctly handled in all SPS technical documentation. Raise subsequent comments and highlight deviations and unacceptable or unjustified design choices that could affect SPS equipment during fabrication, installation, and production.
13. Act, as technical referent for Contractor(s), coordinate all the activities of the SPS Engineering team by informing, supporting, and directing personnel in their roles, responsibilities, and objectives.
14. Participate in project reviews as requested by referential (PR, DER, CSPP...)
