Structural Engineer - Heavy Lift Engineering

Do you have experience translating complex structural concepts into reliable offshore solutions that redefine what is possible at sea? Can you engineer the safe single-lift installation and removal of offshore structures?

-

We are looking for a Structural Engineer - Heavy Lift to design, analyse, and support the installation and removal of large offshore topsides and jacket structures while ensuring safety, performance, and regulatory compliance from concept through execution.

Tasks & responsibilities:

• Define the structural scope of work, methodologies, budgets, and schedules for each project phase (concept, basic, detailed).
• Perform structural design studies, hand calculations, and FEM simulations for installation and removal aids.
• Develop and document procedures for testing and using lifting and support equipment, then review outcomes with project and offshore teams.
• Generate material take-offs and coordinate fabrication of project aids (in-house or subcontracted).
• Review and provide feedback on subcontractor equipment designs and installation/removal methods.
• Update engineering leads on progress and maintain clear project documentation.
• Provide on-site and remote engineering support during offshore installation and removal activities.
• Prepare input for project close-out reports and contribute to lessons learned.
• Propose improvements to departmental standards, tools, and workflows.

• BSc or MSc in Civil, Mechanical, Offshore, or equivalent Engineering discipline.
• 4-6 years of relevant experience for Medior level; 7+ years for Senior level.
• Proficiency (or strong interest) in structural analysis software (e.g., FEMAP, GeniE).
• Highly organised, proactive, and able to work independently.
• Fluent in English, both verbally and in writing.
• Willingness to travel and work offshore as project demands require.
• Affinity for offshore or marine environments and a passion for heavy-lift engineering challenges.
