Jacket Structural Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Perform structural analysis and design of offshore jacket structures, including legs, braces, joints, appurtenances, and pile interface details.

• Prepare and review structural design calculations, analysis reports, material specifications, and construction-related engineering documents for jacket structures.

• Carry out engineering checks for in-place, fatigue, seismic, transportation, loadout, launch, upending, installation, and accidental loading conditions as required by the project scope.https://www.nrl.co.uk/jobs/snr-offshore-jacket-engineer-1067891

• Develop and review structural models using relevant engineering software such as SACS, SESAM, STAAD.Pro, ANSYS, ABAQUS, or equivalent tools depending on project requirements.

• Review fabrication drawings, structural details, material take-off, and vendor documentation to ensure technical compliance and constructability.

• Coordinate with naval architecture, piping, mechanical, subsea, geotechnical, procurement, fabrication, and installation teams to ensure proper interface management.

• Support transportation and installation engineering activities related to loadout, sea fastening, lifting, launch, upending, and pile installation interfaces.

• Ensure structural engineering deliverables comply with applicable offshore standards and codes such as ISO 19901, EN 19902, DNV, NORSOK, API RP 2A, AISC, and project-specific requirements.

• Participate in design reviews, HAZID, constructability reviews, client meetings, and technical clarifications during engineering and execution stages.

• Provide technical support during fabrication, offshore installation, pre-commissioning, and field engineering activities when required.

• Review non-conformance reports, field changes, and technical deviations, and propose practical engineering solutions.

• Maintain quality, safety, and schedule performance for assigned structural engineering deliverables.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a related engineering discipline is required.

• Minimum 5 to 10 years of relevant offshore structural engineering experience, with proven exposure to jacket structures in oil and gas projects.

• Strong knowledge of offshore structural analysis, steel design, fatigue assessment, and fabrication principles is required.

• Familiarity with offshore design software such as SACS, SESAM, STAAD.Pro, ANSYS, ABAQUS, or similar engineering tools is preferred.

• Good understanding of offshore design codes, class requirements, and project engineering workflows is essential.

• Experience in EPC, EPCI, brownfield, or greenfield offshore projects is an advantage.

• Strong coordination, report writing, communication, and problem-solving skills are required.
