Missions/Service Dimensions

The service holder, shall oversee all engineering aspects of all Subsea Structures (including Structures for Subsea Control

Systems), Jumpers, and Connection Systems; with support from the Jumpers and Connection Systems engineer.

Activities

• Manage the Company Project team dedicated to the Subsea Structures & Tie-in Systems element of the Project to ensure thetechnical, budget and schedule objectives are met and that the responsibilities of the job description are discharged.

• Review and ratify the Design Proposals from the Alliance (Design proposals include Basis of Design, Flow Diagrams,Specifications, Procedures, Calculation Notes, & MTOs).

• Ensure that Design proposals from the Alliance meet the requirements and expectations of the various Exhibits in the FEED Contract.

• Ensure implementation in his/her own discipline of all HSE and QC requirements and report to SPS Lead on any deviation.

• Facilitate approval for Subsea Structures & Tie-in Systems related documentation, consolidating comments from within SPS Team and form other Company Packages leading up to their final approval.

• Participate in the engineering review of other packages design documents which have an interface to the Subsea Structures& Tie-in Systems equipment

• Evaluate the workload of Subsea Structures & Tie-in Systems Package and identify, as necessary, additional resources or the means required to meet Contract objectives to the SPS Lead.

• Liaise with Company Specialists within the various technical departments in HQ to ensure Design proposals from the Alliance meet the requirements of the Company specifications.

• Actively follow-up the Alliance actual progress against all planned engineering activities required for completion of the Subsea Structures & Tie-in Systems equipment. Ensure that the Alliance are focused on meeting their commitments.

• Initiate and manage weekly progress meetings with the Alliance and provide weekly and monthly reports to SPS Lead.

• Review and manage the resources and organization of the Alliance, identifying that they are adequate (and competent) for achieving the discipline works

• Manage the interface with other disciplines in the Project to ensure cross-package and inter-contract compliance. Ensure that any cost and / or schedule changes to agreed designs emanating from or impacting the Subsea Structures & Tie-in Systems

equipment are identified. Highlight such changes, providing assistance to quantify the cost and schedule impact to the SPS Lead.

• Expedite the timely disposition of Deviations/ Derogation requests as they effect the Subsea Structures & Tie-in Systems.

• Participate in/organize any technical or co-ordination meeting necessary to fulfil the job responsibilities.

• Coordinate the Lessons Learned to be developed for the Subsea Structures & Tie-in Systems.

• Coordinate the preparation of the Close-out Report for the Subsea Structures & Tie-in Systems.

Context & Environment

The proposed development option is a subsea tieback to FPSO.

Technically challenging project with several technical novelties/innovations within company and oil & industry - long tie- back distance (~30km), Production flowline heating solution (DEH) at maximum water depth with some qualification, Subsea brownfield tie-in to existing EGINA facilities (SIMOPS), Constrained flowlines & umbilical layout/routing (Seabed disturbance, Geohazards, DEH constraints, several crossings), Novel material technology-CRA cladded/lined flowline, potentially with Mechanically-Lined Pipe (MLP), Flowline S-lay in deepwater, Large scale deployment of long Thermoplastic Composite Pipe (TCP) for water injection jumpers.

Heavy workload with tight FEED schedule and activities leading to FID.

Qualifications & Experience Required

• Qualification: Professional engineer
• Languages: English (fluent verbal & written)
• Mobility: placement is primarily in Lagos, Nigeria with the potential for international trips. Presence will be required at Manifold fabrication site during construction phase.
• Professional Experience: minimum 15 years
• Experience within project: 10+ years
• 10+ years' experience in the Engineering of Subsea Manifolds, FLETs, ILTs, Subsea Jumpers and Connection Systems, and SUTs.
• To have experience in the application of industry standards and codes related to subsea hardware and systems such as API 6A & 17D, ASME B31.3, ASME B31.8, API RP-17P, API RP-17R, API
• RP-2A, as well as ISO, DNV and NORSOK equivalent standards.
• To have knowledge of the main Subsea hardware suppliers' engineering and manufacturing processes.
• Previous experience of Company / Operator Representation during similar type project execution is a distinct advantage.

Other Observations

The Subsea Structures & Hardware Lead Engineer’s primary focus is required to be on technical compliance of the Subsea Structures, Jumpers, and Connection Systems; in accordance with Contract requirements. The objective of the role is to obtain equipment to specification, of the requisite quality levels in line with the Contract Schedule. The Subsea Structures & Hardware Lead Engineer will be assisted in his endeavors by the Jumpers and Connection Systems Engineer. The Subsea Structures & Hardware Lead Engineer will report to the FEED SPS Lead.
