Key Consideration:
Preference will be given to candidates holding valid OPITO-approved T-BOSIET/BOSIET and H₂S certifications with a minimum validity of six months. The selected candidate will be required to travel ADNOC offshore as required to conduct site surveys, support structural assessments and reassessments, verify existing offshore facilities, review as-built conditions, and obtain project-specific engineering data necessary for brownfield modification, strengthening, life-extension and execution support.
Job Purpose
•
Lead offshore structural engineering delivery for fixed offshore assets across Concept Select, FEED, Detailed Engineering, EPC and brownfield modification phases.
•
Act as discipline focal point for structural assessment, reassessment, modification, strengthening, life-extension, checking, approval and technical assurance.
•
Ensure safe, compliant and constructible engineering solutions through effective discipline planning, multidisciplinary coordination and workshare management.
Key Responsibilities
•
Prepare and manage discipline execution plans, structural design basis, philosophies, deliverable registers, checking/approval matrices and engineering work-hour estimates.
•
Lead offshore structural engineering deliverables for fixed platforms, jackets, topsides, bridges, flare structures, supports and brownfield modifications.
•
Define analysis approach, review assumptions, verify results and approve structural calculations, reports, specifications, drawings and technical deliverables.
•
Develop engineering solutions for brownfield anomalies, corrosion, damage, previous modifications, strengthening, repair, replacement and remaining-life issues.
•
Plan and support offshore/site visits for data collection, field verification, condition assessment, as-built verification and structural survey reporting.
Lead interdisciplinary, model, constructability and safety reviews with client, IVB, operations, fabrication, installation and third-party stakeholders.
