Offshore Structures Engineer (M/F)
Machine translation — original language: French.Show original
We are looking for a Structures Engineer to join a project team involved in offshore subsea structures (FLET, manifolds, suction piles, large mudmats, etc.). You will work on design studies and structural calculations in deepwater environments, in close interaction with designers and other engineering disciplines.
Main Missions
- Participate in the design and sizing of subsea structures (FLET, manifolds, suction piles, large mudmats...) while integrating offshore constraints (water depth, installation, fatigue, handling).
- Perform finite element analyses and calculations using ABAQUS (2D shell and 3D volumetric models) and, ideally, SACS for beam models, in addition to manual calculations.
- Work in close collaboration with designers:
- reviewing and validating drawings,
- verifying consistency between calculation models and 3D models,
- ensuring the quality and completeness of data provided to designers during advanced phases.
- Propose technical solutions and optimizations to the lead engineer / project manager, justifying your choices based on calculation results and project constraints.
- Contribute to design reviews, technical meetings, and exchanges with other disciplines (installation, fabrication, materials, fatigue).
Profile Sought
- Structures / mechanical engineer with experience ideally acquired in offshore subsea.
- Significant initial experience on subsea structures projects (FLET, manifolds, suction piles, mudmats, or analogous structures).
- Autonomy in design and calculation practice: you know how to build a model, interpret results, propose variants, and raise alerts in case of risk.
- Accustomed to working in cooperation with designers and committed to the reliability of transmitted data (dimensions, loads, assumptions).
- Mastery of calculation tools:
- proven use of ABAQUS (2D shell and 3D volumetric modeling),
- ideally knowledge of SACS (beam modeling),
- regular practice of manual calculations for basic verifications.
- Fluent English, written and spoken, essential for documentation and international exchanges; French is an asset for daily team life.
Conditions
- Presence required at the client site: minimum 3 days per week.
- Contract type: depending on profile (CDI, CDIC, service mission).
