My Client currently is seeking Senior Marine Engineers, they are looking for Engineers understand and are able to calculate motion characteristics for the vessels in given weather conditions and the environmental loads through the splash zone.
They must be able to calculate the resulting loads and set the operating limitations when the equipment and crane capacities are known.
An important part of the work is also to perform analyses of the vessel and product during lay operations.
The product could be steel pipeline, flexible or umbilical's. This work is an important input to the procedure and safety issues for the operation. Lifting between vessels, installation/analyses of mooring systems and catenary riser systems are also part of the Senior Marine Engineers work.
The Senior Marine Engineers use recognised national and international standards when they calculate the static and dynamic loads and define the operating criteria's. The Senior Marine Engineers use both software developed in-house and recognised software packages for their work.
Senior Marine Engineers are often involved in crane verifications, sub-contractor follow-up and they manage relevant technical interfaces towards suppliers, clients and verification bodies. They often write or review the lifting and over boarding procedures, they participate in the lift planning and they work offshore in connection with installation work.
The Senior Marine Engineers often work in a discipline environment with other Marine Engineers and give advice the Project Engineers and some of the other involved disciplines. Marine Engineers are often used to verify the proposed methodology as early as the tendering stage in a project. They are also involved in feasibility studies for external clients and on internal research and development projects.
The Senior Marine Engineers supervise smaller groups of Marine Engineers comprising both experienced and graduate engineers. Mentoring and supervision of young graduate engineers are a natural part of the Senior Marine Engineers job. The Senior Marine Engineers are also involved in planning and lecturing on the internal familiarisation courses for graduates and new engineers, and they contribute in Centres of Excellence and in R&D work within the region or in the global R&D group.
Senior Marine Engineers must have solid academic background combined with minimum 5 years relevant experience.
