Vessel Senior Project 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

The Vessel Senior Project Engineer (Sr. PE) is an experienced project engineering professional who is responsible for applying their existing knowledge in Marine Operations and Pipeline Installation to serve as a Pipelay Lead for vessels, bids and projects. The Sr. PE functionally reports to the vessel Marine Operations Manager, but works within project and bid teams as assigned. The Sr. PE interfaces with the Project Installation Managers, Supply Chain Managers, Project Engineering Managers and other discipline leads to drive continual improvement through the implementation of Lessons Learned and ensure that the pipelay scope is planned and executed in alignment with the vessel capabilities and limitations.

This role is an office-based position, however periodic on-site field support (Construction/ Supplier/ Mobilization sites and onboard the vessel) is required to properly execute the job duties on a rotation.

• The Sr. PE shall have a well-rounded and deep understanding of offshore pipelay and pipe production operations (Welding, NDT, Field Joint Coating), installation analysis, subsea structure designs, rigging practices, and the demonstrated project engineering capability to serve as a scope lead for a smaller team of approximately 2-5 other Project Engineers
• The individual shall be comfortable with guiding and teaching junior engineers and have experience in coordinating and guiding the works of others to deliver the project scope on time and under budget
• The Sr. PE shall be able to operate independently with minimal guidance from the SPDT Marine Operations Director on a day-to-day basis but will maintain regular communications and collaboration to align schedule and execution methodology

• Coordinate and review inputs from the various Engineering disciplines, functional departments, and sub-contractors contributing to the Engineering portion of a project
• Coordinate and ensure the generation of deliverables, reports, and procedures required
• Support management of the Engineering portion of the project as directed
• Use expertise and project experience to solve complex problems by identifying innovative solutions
• Manage time to meet objectives; forecast and plan resource requirements
• Assist the Project Engineering Manager in planning, organizing, coordinating, and controlling small projects by establishing policies, procedures, systems, and requirements
• Act as a liaison between the Customer and Project Engineering Manager and Engineering Team, including third-party agencies and subcontractors
• Assist in the preparation and implementation of the Engineering Project Execution Plan (PEP)
• Assist in the preparation of the work‑sharing Interface Plan & Scope Split Matrix
• Ensure all scopes of work are addressed, handover points are understood and agreed upon, and that there are no scope gaps or overlaps between the work‑sharing offices and any subcontractors
