Offshore Structural Engineer - Civil KBR’s Sustainable Technology Solutions (STS) group is looking for Offshore Structural Engineers to support the design and delivery of critical offshore oil & gas and renewable energy projects worldwide. The role focuses on advanced Detail engineering projects for FPSO structures, jackets, topsides, fixed platforms, and other offshore facilities.

Responsibilities

• Offshore Structural Engineer with strong capabilities in the analysis, design, and verification of FPSO modules, jacket structures, and topside facilities.
• The role requires detailed engineering, interdisciplinary coordination, and advanced structural analyses using industry-standard offshore engineering tools to support offshore platform and FPSO developments.
• Perform structural analysis, design, and verification of offshore structures including FPSO structures/modules, fixed platforms, jackets, topsides, and subsea structures.
• Carry out load-out, lifting, transportation, and in-place analyses for offshore structures and modules using SACS/SESAM software.
• Perform lifting analysis and structural design of topsides and extension modules, including transportation checks.
• Prepare detailed In-Service, Pushover, Fatigue, and other structural analysis reports as required by the project.
• Prepare and review structural drawings, calculations, design reports, and engineering documentation in accordance with applicable offshore codes and project specifications.
• Review and verify vendor, equipment supplier, fabrication, and construction drawings/documents to ensure feasibility, constructability, and structural integrity.
• Prepare and maintain Weight Control Reports, including inter-disciplinary coordination and monitoring of weight and center of gravity (CoG) throughout project phases.
• Coordinate effectively with multidisciplinary teams (geotechnical, naval, installation, piping, and mechanical) to ensure smooth information flow and design integration.
• Provide engineering support during fabrication, load-out, offshore installation, and commissioning phases.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in civil / Structural Engineering or equivalent.
