Principal Structural Engineer

Our ingenuity fuels daily life. Together, we’ve forged some of the most trusted partnerships across the energy value chain to make what was once just an idea a reality: laying subsea infrastructure thousands of feet below sea level, installing platforms hundreds of miles from shore, using our expertise to design and build offshore wind infrastructure, and reshaping the onshore landscape to deliver the energy products the world needs safely and sustainably.For more than 100 years, we've been making the impossible possible. Today, we're driving the energy transition with more than 30,000 of the brightest minds across 54 countries.Job DescriptionJob Overview:The Principal Structural Engineer is responsible for interpreting internal or external business issues and recommending best practices. They will be tasked with solving complex structural-related problems and will work independently with minimal guidance. The Principal Structural Engineer may be responsible for leading functional teams or projects and is regarded as a specialist in the field of structural engineering. As such, they must have in-depth expertise in structural engineering as well as broad knowledge of the structural discipline within the engineering function.ResponsibilitiesKey Tasks and Responsibilities:Perform conceptual, FEED, and detailed analyses and design as per design basis, project specifications, design codes, and standardsApply in-depth skills and broad knowledge of the business to address complex problems and nonstandard situationsPrepare clear and accurate detailed design calculations and analyses including design reports and proceduresManage own time to meet objectives and (as Lead Engineer) forecast and plan resource requirementsClearly communicate and explain difficult concepts and persuade others to adopt a point of viewWhen acting as Lead Engineer, in addition:Direct medium or large Engineering team as a Lead EngineerLead the Discipline engineering design of the assigned work area and complete it within the planned schedule and budget, in accordance with standards, MDR, and project-specific procedures and to a high professional standardPlan, organize, and direct all aspects of Discipline execution on the assigned project including scope, deliverables, schedule, and all manpower resources - agree allocations with the Discipline ManagerEnsure interfaces and deliverables are clearly identifiedMaintain responsibility for progress and productivity, identifying any required corrective actionAct as project representative for the Discipline during meetings with Project Team,Customer discipline lead and relevant agencies such as certifying authorities, auditors, third parties, etc.Train/mentor other employees in the departmentAssist and monitor MOPEX offices on projectsHas a good understanding of the other engineering departmentsInitiate interface with other disciplines to obtain input for discipline designsHas a good understanding of construction/fabrication yard and client requirementsHas commercial insightHelps to maintain unifiPrepare bid from sketching data, using experienceSupervise engineers and designersDefine scopes of work for engineering/construction fabrication yardProvide engineering support as requiredPerform engineering checks of draftingPerform engineering checks prepared by others within the disciplinePerform design verification through single discipline check and assist with inter-discipline checks (IDC)Prepare MTOs of structuresPrepare specificationsPrepare subcontractReview of vendor dataPrepare technical bid evaluationsAssist in furthering the departmentTasks as Engineering Specialist:Coordinate and check the work of senior and junior engineersConduct peer reviews on requestProvide technical assistance where requiredPrepare structural analyses and reports on calculations or perform specialist tasks (i.e., architectural designs, underground piping designs, complex structures, topsides, jackets, weight control reports, the center of gravity reports)Is specialized in several fields (geotechnical, steel, concrete, dynamic calculations, FEM, fatigue calculations, earthquake, jackets, FPSOs, blast, hydrodynamics, architectural, …)Is specialized in several design codes (EC, ACI/AISC/API, GOST, …)Check designs for operational requirements, constructability, and maintainabilityPrepare project engineering guidesTasks as Lead Engineer:Work as Lead Engineer on medium to large-size EPC projectsResponsible for all engineering and design work on any projectHas full control and manages work hours, materials, progressWork in close liaison with the Design CoordinatorSet up all engineering computer systemsAssist Project Manager in:Preparing deliverable controlPreparing schedulePreparing progress reportsPreparing man-hour and capital expenditure estimatesCoordinate with project managementTrain personnel under their supervisionIs responsible for discipline within the engineering groupManage (design) subcontractsIdentify and manage ch
