• Develop constructible designs from first principles or engineer sketches, with input into fabrication and installation methodology.
• Supervise and check CAD designers and junior engineers while keeping technical ownership.
• Run inter-discipline reviews, clash detection and interface checks across structural, mechanical and piping scopes.
• Work directly with clients on technical matters, present design solutions, respond to queries and manage scope changes.

Required profile

• Degree in Civil or Structural Engineering (or equivalent) with at least 8 years of structural design experience in oil and gas, offshore or resources.
• Detailed structural design experience on offshore or brownfields projects, owning calculations, reports and deliverables end to end.
• Ability to turn designs into safe, constructible solutions and engage with fabricators and construction teams.
• Desirable: CPEng or equivalent registration, subsea equipment design or installation support experience, exposure to installation scopes such as rigging arrangements and lift plans, and familiarity with NOPSEMA and Australian offshore safety case requirements.
