Pipeline Engineer

Job Purpose:

This position is to act as a Pipeline Engineer supporting projects in all pipelines and subsea interconnections related studies in the Screening, Conceptual and Pre-FEED stages of the project. Responsibilities include execution and supervision of pipeline engineering, design and planning, and encompassing possibly new technologies.

Job Responsibilities:

• Ensure that all Company and Industry HSE requirements are adhered to in the development studies
• Develop pipeline/ flexible technologies evaluation and comparison further, based on existing exercises from previous preliminary study phase
• Identify possible optimized options of subsea interconnection routings, pipeline and flexible technologies, coatings, cables, and crossing designs for further technical screening.
• Perform technical evaluation to screen-out options and to retain several for conceptual phase. In conceptual phase, retained options would be evaluated further to select the best one for Pre-FEED
• Liaise with external technology providers to gather feedback of technical advantages and limitations, delivery timeline, feasibility of implementation in field, and costs of products and services (in coordination with Contract & Procurement entity)
• Manage required external engineering scopes, from external company identification, SOW preparation, technical discussions, external engineering supervision, technical reviews, and ensure timely completion of these scopes
• Provide technical inputs to support cost estimation of pipelines for each development study phase
• Proactively seek and propose technical solutions for CAPEX optimization and implement them into pipeline engineering design
• Coordinate with relevant entities in Company to support pipelines engineering, including Geomatics, Geotech & Geophysics, Corrosion, PLR, Structure, Process, Project execution representative, etc.
