Job Description

The Installation Methods Engineer (Senior/Confirmed level) is responsible for preparing, validating, and optimizing offshore installation methodologies for subsea structures, flowlines, risers, and umbilicals. The role requires autonomy, technical rigor, and strong coordination with multidisciplinary engineering teams, offshore operations, HSE, and marine assets.

• Develop detailed technical documentation for offshore installation activities, including procedures, method statements, technical notes, and operational sequences.
• Integrate engineering specifications, vessel/barge constraints, and offshore feasibility requirements.
• Perform technical and operational feasibility assessments for subsea installation activities.
• Define installation sequences and associated methods (lifting, lowering, deployment, pipe lay, subsea handling).
• Participate in internal technical reviews such as Design Reviews, HAZID, HAZOP, and readiness assessments.
• Provide technical support during offshore campaigns when required.
• Coordinate interfaces with engineering disciplines, operations teams, marine departments, and HSE.
• Ensure compliance with internal standards, industry regulations, and offshore safety requirements.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of installation methodologies and documentation quality.
