Structural Engineer – Pipeline Engineering
Location: Delft, Netherlands
For a client of ours in the offshore engineering and pipeline installation sector, we are looking
for a Structural Engineer – Pipeline Engineering to join their Pipeline Engineering department.
The department supports offshore pipelay campaigns from the proposal phase through
engineering, offshore execution, and pre-commissioning. Within this department, the Pipeline
Structural team is responsible for designing and analysing the structures required for subsea
pipeline projects, including permanent pipeline structures and installation aids.
This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated engineer who wants to build a career in offshore
pipeline engineering, structural analysis, subsea field development, and installation support.
The role offers exposure to international offshore projects, multidisciplinary engineering teams,
fabrication partners, offshore personnel, and certification authorities.
Job Overview
As a Structural Engineer – Pipeline Engineering, you will design and analyse structures used
in offshore pipeline projects. These include permanent subsea structures such as PLETs, ILS,
and manifolds, as well as installation aids such as heads, rollerguides, and equipment used
during pipeline installation.
You will assess the integrity, strength, safety, and performance of structures used in offshore
environments. The role combines technical calculations, FEM analysis, design reporting,
fabrication support, installation procedure preparation, and coordination with project teams and
offshore personnel.
This position is suitable for fresh graduates or early-career engineers with strong analytical
ability, technical curiosity, and an interest in offshore engineering.
Responsibilities
- Analyse and prepare project specifications for structural components used in subsea pipeline
projects.
- Prepare structural designs, design calculations, and engineering reports within project
scope, schedule, and budget.
- Perform analytical calculations and structural simulations using FEM analysis.
- Design and assess permanent subsea structures such as PLETs, ILS, manifolds, and related
pipeline structures.
- Support the development of installation aids and equipment for subsea field development
projects or offshore installation vessels.
- Review fabrication drawings and coordinate with fabrication subcontractors and equipment
suppliers.
