OFFSHORE STRUCTURAL ENGINEER

As an Offshore Structural Engineer, you will support offshore structural engineering, analysis, and design activities for oil & gas EPC projects, particularly fixed platforms, topsides, jackets, modules, and associated structures. The role involves structural analysis, engineering calculations, design verification, and technical coordination to ensure safe, reliable, and compliant engineering deliverables in line with project specifications and applicable offshore standards.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Perform structural analysis and engineering design of offshore structures, including fixed platforms, topsides, jackets, modules, and associated steel structures.
• Carry out structural calculations, load assessments, code checks, and design verification in accordance with applicable project specifications and standards.
• Prepare and review structural calculations, engineering reports, design documentation, and technical specifications.
• Use structural analysis software such as SACS, SESAM, STAAD Pro, or equivalent tools to perform structural analysis and assessments.
• Review and validate structural 3D models, design layouts, and engineering deliverables developed using S3D (Smart 3D), TEKLA, E3D, PDMS, or equivalent software, as applicable to the project.
• Evaluate structural loads, equipment loads, environmental loads, and other engineering inputs required for offshore structural design.
• Coordinate with Process, Mechanical, Piping, Electrical, Instrumentation, and other disciplines to establish design requirements, load inputs, and interface requirements.
• Review structural drawings, calculations, design deliverables, and technical documents prepared by structural designers.
• Support the preparation and review of Material Take-Offs (MTOs), Bills of Materials (BOMs), and technical requisitions as required.
• Participate in design reviews, constructability reviews, engineering workshops, and technical meetings to resolve structural engineering issues.
• Ensure compliance with applicable offshore structural codes and standards, including API RP 2A, AISC, ISO 19902, and DNV.
• Support technical query resolution and engineering activities during FEED, detailed engineering, fabrication, and project execution.
• Ensure all engineering deliverables meet project specifications, quality requirements, applicable standards, and agreed project schedules.

KEY QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or Structural Engineering.
• Minimum years of relevant experience as specified in the JD, with substantial experience in Offshore Structural Engineering within FEED and/or EPC projects.
• Proven hands-on experience in offshore oil & gas projects, particularly fixed offshore platforms, topsides, jackets, and modules.
• Strong experience in structural analysis, engineering calculations, load assessments, code checks, and design verification.
• Hands-on experience with structural analysis software such as SACS, SESAM, STAAD Pro, or equivalent tools.
• Strong working knowledge of applicable offshore structural codes and standards, including API RP 2A, AISC, ISO 19902, and DNV.
• Experience with S3D (Smart 3D), with additional knowledge of TEKLA, E3D, or PDMS being an advantage, depending on project requirements.
• Ability to review structural 3D models, engineering drawings, calculations, and design deliverables.
• Experience coordinating with multidisciplinary engineering teams throughout FEED and detailed engineering activities.
• Middle East / GCC offshore project experience will be an advantage.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, coordination, and communication skills.
• Ability to deliver accurate engineering outputs within project schedules and quality requirements.
